Make Moscow Mitch's life that much more difficult. Support Amy McGrath in her quest to unseat the unpopular McConnell.

I grew up in KY and am so ashamed of what it has become (except Jefferson and Fayette counties)

Democrats managed to hold on to the State House of Representatives until 2014 - the last Democratic majority body of government in the entire South.

I sincerely hope that a huge blue tidal wave knocks out #MoscowMitch and about half the KY Legislature in 2020

Maybe the Moscow Mitch supporters will be too ashamed to vote for him next time. If they just stay home, the Democratic candidate (hopefully it will be Amy McGrath) will have a chance.

and after Fancy Farm, I expect the followers will increase. Wait until he has a big public event in Jefferson or Fayette counties.

If I still lived where I grew up, I would definitely take the 3 hour drive to Louisville just to increase the crowd. Or Bowling Green or Owensboro.

Their voices have usually been drowned out by the money and the voter cheat machine. Maybe it will be different this times.

My first election against Mitch. No one confesses to voting for McConnell.
Never seen a bumper sticker or yard sign yet. Will let DU know if I do.

I just hope our election machines are ok.
