Was wondering the same - she's definitely got the benefit of running against a super-villain.Beto 2.0.
Well, that's true. McConnell is disliked in his own state, but it's a super-duper-Republican state in a presidential election year. Kentucky was called for Trump approximately 15 seconds after the polls closed in 2016. I don't see him losing.Was wondering the same - she's definitely got the benefit of running against a super-villain.
Sounds like a great opportunity for Beto to drop his POTUS aspiration and turn political consultant... man's gotta eatI've mentioned this before - not a good campaigner. I live in the district she ran for in 2018 and she was well out-campaigned by Andy Barr.
I don't expect her campaign to be any better for the senate.
Oh, we're practically neighbors, at least a long time ago. I grew up in Evansville and used to take family vacations all the time at my uncle's lake house in Paducah.I live in the district she ran for in 2018
Well it was her first campaign so maybe she has learned some things. If I remember correctly she beat the democrat backed by the DNC..... then narrowly lost to Barr the incumbent 51-49. My fist impression this time around is that she is smart enough to not run an anti Trump campaign in a state that Trump won by 30 points. Its a tough needle to thread being anti McConnell and Trump neutral but it appears that is the needle she is going to attempt to thread. Ive volunteered to help in the campaign because McConnell is evil incarnate.I've mentioned this before - not a good campaigner.

Bobe's Pizza!!!!It's not often I brag about my Vincennes heritage.
And how? How do you flip flop so many times on Kavanaugh? Even if you don't have an opinion, the decision on which stance to take is easy. GD, it. Incompetence.She’s already screwed up. Ooof
This is unexcellent.And how? How do you flip flop so many times on Kavanaugh? Even if you don't have an opinion, the decision on which stance to take is easy. GD, it. Incompetence.
McConnell is scum and he needs to go, but it's not like they won't find someone else to do the exact same thing he's doing as Senate Majority Leader.

Let me know when you want more. There's a treasure trove of examples.

This brings us to Mitch McConnell. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that Mitch McConnell is evil. The coming Trump Presidency is already an assembly line of ####ty, apocalyptic consequences getting cranked out 24/7, and the fact that McConnell now holds near-total power over Congress is perhaps the most unbearable side effect of them all. Here is a man who made it his solemn oath to thwart a President who was elected fair and square—and by an actually huge, not-bull####-Trump-YUGE, margin—and who then spent eight ####### years doing exactly that. McConnell is a man who hijacked a Supreme Court vacancy and, barring some last-minute shenanigans that President Obama is probably (and unfortunately) too polite to pull, he will get away with it.
Now we find out that McConnell is basically a traitor. In the wake of an unprecedented breach in American cybersecurity, what did this guy do? He threatened the President that he would publicly discredit the (solid, non-partisan) intelligence just to #### him, along with the American people. It worked, of course. Oh, and now McConnell's old lady has a Cabinet post. This man has no morals, nor any respect for the rule of law, nor any respect for those who would defy him. For his own personal gain, he permitted Russia to continue manipulating the November election so that his party's candidate could win—giving us a quivering mound of chili drippings for president. And God knows what kind of dirt Putin has on him.
This is treasonous behavior. There’s no more civilized way to put it. Mitch McConnell chose Russia over America. He should be prosecuted.
Yeah, not happening. Only person that could beat Mitch is Matt Jones.I've mentioned this before - not a good campaigner. I live in the district she ran for in 2018 and she was well out-campaigned by Andy Barr.
I don't expect her campaign to be any better for the senate.
corporate? she was in the Marines for 20 years, got out, and ran for Congress.She is a corporate democrat Schumer hand picked stooge. She is going to run the typical blue dog almost a Republican campaign and lose. Ike told you 60 years ago when presented with a Republican and a almost Republican they pick the Republican. It's a long shot seat so do something different. Run someone who will run a full throated populist attack from the left. At least then you excite Democrats and the people who usually sit out. And if you lose then maybe after those ideas percolate for a cycle they start to stick.
Hand picked by Schumer. She took plenty of corporate money in her run for Congress no reason to believe she won't again.corporate? she was in the Marines for 20 years, got out, and ran for Congress.
It will probably be close but I expect the turtle to win. Especially if she runs as a blue dog.identikit said:Zero chance of beating McConnell.
i'm seeing about 90% of her campaign money from large and small individual contributions.NCCommish said:Hand picked by Schumer. She took plenty of corporate money in her run for Congress no reason to believe she won't again.
The goal is to win. Which is more likely in a state that Trump won by THIRTY points. I dont think the dems can win this one by putting up a far left candidate. Im not sure they can win at all but going after Trump/ McConnell in Trump land is a losing strategy. Its a different ballgame in a Trump +15 or less state.....either way its a long shot but she has the unique mix of woman/military/moderate message that just might win. In this case with McConnel being the lowest rated senator in washington I dont think you need to go extreme left to get voter turnout on the Dem side. In general I get your point though....in this specific instance I think she has a better chance than an extreme lefty.NCCommish said:She is a corporate democrat Schumer hand picked stooge.

You would have thought that in 2018 - when the wave of women and suburban voters went Dem...and in a district that has been Dem 3 times since I moved here in 2006.also I will say this....I expect turnout for this election will be the highest in forever. If the stuff thats been happening in politics in Washington in the current administration isnt enough to get people off their asses and into a voting booth....well we get what we deserve then.
Putting another Manchin in office isn't winning.The goal is to win. Which is more likely in a state that Trump won by THIRTY points.

Might want to look at her Congressional fund raising.i'm seeing about 90% of her campaign money from large and small individual contributions.
Manchin sucks for a Democrat but I definitely prefer him to Mitch McConnell.Putting another Manchin in office isn't winning.
