I wasn't very impressed. Don't get me wrong. I've eagerly dribbled dollars her way because she's got the goods and I want him to go. But the aggrieved remonstrations, that tone of voice... she's appealing to him as if she thought reminding him of values using arguments that work if those values were held in common.

They're not. He laughed at her, and she had nothing. After all this time, she thought being better than he was at things he actively despises was a winning argument?

E.G. Does she know Kentucky thinks Kynnect isn't Obamacare and fought it until it was renamed?

"With Spinner and Paddlefoot!" I can still hear the theme music and remember those bizarre mouth holes they used for animation.

This guy's nasty gross. I don't even know how you'd be able to vote for this creepy skuzz after any exposure to him at all. Do the voters of Kentucky not have actual eyeballs?

Once again, if McGrath was a man this race wouldn't even be close. Also, too, not sure how sophisticated Kentucky voters are. Wouldn't surprise me if they thought McConnel will remain Senate Leader forever.

He just phoned it in because he knows he could kill someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose a single vote. yes I live in KY and I am appalled at the dumbasses in this state voting against their own self interest but McConnell won't take away their guns and as a republican he loves jesus unlike the Democrats.

I've been pricing parts. If the frame isn't bent, and the engine is fine, I can fix it for a lot less than they're talking. I won't take their offer and I'll have it towed here. I have all the tools I need to fix it.

I might have to do a gofundme cause cash is a real problem.

Never saw the Superman cartoon. It looks way Clutch Cargo.

It's not that my fellow KYians are unsophisticated, it's that like in most red states, people here have been forced-fed the Democrats-are-evil lies for so long they literally believe that voting for us will send them directly to hell.

No, Ashley never even entered the race. Mitch didn't run a single ad against her. He just made sure that all of her friends told her just how viciously he WOULD ruin her life if she dared to run.

Kentucky voter here. While Louisville, Lexington and the state capitol Frankfort will all go blue for sure, the rural areas will dutifully vote R straight down the line. Last year they unknowingly elected a black man as Attorney General because he was in the Republican column and Mitch had put him there. His time in office would have an unremarkable and out-of-sight nothingburger of carrying out McConnell's orders, until Brionna Taylor was murdered, so you may have heard of him.

If you look at Fivethirtyeight's projections the most extreme statistical outcome for Biden has him carrying all but 10 states, giving Trump only 52 electoral votes, and Kentucky is one of them. It really is one of the very worst there is, and we live on a blue island in a sea of redneck racist stupidity. I support McGrath and have sent money and helped volunteer with the campaign, but it is really a long shot. There is nothing McConnell could do or say to lose those voters.

So let me get this straight: God calls Eddie Van Halen home, but Mitch McConnell is still with us? Huh. Almost shakes my faith in a benevolent diety.

One of the many infuriating things about McConnell is that he still pretends he’s not out to preserve his own power, despite his actions communicating that loud and clear.
