I'll say this again: McGrath needs to use the Russian bounty scandal

[misanthrope]

I am saying this again because it's this important, because the crux of Republican power right now is Mitch McConnell.

If Amy McGrath can utilize this latest scandal, of the WH cozying up to Putin despite Russian bounties being placed on American troops, it would prove as important as anything else at stake this fall. She needs to link McConnell's enabling of Trump with the cost in American lives and the treason following.

Things along the lines of "Moscow Mitch chose to stand beside a traitor who endangered my brothers and sister in arms. Trump has their blood on his hands. Will Mitch keep wiping it away for him?"

Just hammer it, over and over and over. She has the military bona fides and red state electorates are very pro-military. Don't waste that. If the Senate Majority leader, the Machiavellian maestro who engineered the denial of Merrick Garland to the SCOTUS and the packing of the federal judiciary, if he is removed, it would prove crucial in repairing this country.

1. Did she win the primary?

I admit I haven't been following the KY results.
I would agree her military background gives ample authority to shove this up Mitch's self righteous ass all the way to November.

2. Booker is ahead so far, not McGrath

3. Well, that's not optimum.

I heard it was pretty close but she was trending higher. I think McGrath stands a better chance in the general than Booker would solely because I think the racial component will work in McConnell's favor there.

4. I'm sorry to hear that. Booker doesn't stand a chance in the GE

5. More of one than McGrath has according to many of the actual

Kentucky posters I have seen on so many threads. The last poll showed Booker doing better against Moscow than McGrath did as well, although it is simply one poll to be fair, and certainly not definitive. McGrath ran a poor campaign from the start, when she went full Bredesen and said she would voted to confirm that POS Kavanaugh.

Many of the anti-Booker comments I have seen have come from the same side of the forum who were predicting doom for AOC against the RW plant MCC and also predicting smooth sailing for Engel verus Bowman so I take their prognostications with a rather large grain of salt.

6. To be honest, I had not heard of Booker until several weeks ago...

The only thing I saw were McGrath’s ads and commentary about how she was running within a point or two of McConnell. I really can’t comment on Booker, since I have seen very little of him, but if he’s the one, then he will have my support.

8. Same as most people outside of Kentucky

“For many people outside of Kentucky, they only know her name. They don’t even know there is a primary,” one Kentucky Democratic strategist, who spoke on background to maintain anonymity because of their position, told Teen Vogue. “I think in general at the state and federal level, the Democratic Party needs to do much more investing in the people that already agree with them. Democrats who don’t vote or people that are not registered but agree with Democratic values.”

The Breonna Taylor shooting & BLM boosted Booker. He is out polling McGrath & Biden in the state.

7. It appears that Booker already has enough to win the primary.

He's pretty awesome, but I hope Amy McGrath will still stay on his side, on the side of democrats, as the race starts to heat up over getting rid of mitch. If she really cares about this country, that's what she'll do.

9. I don't think red states or Republicans are pro military

They talk a good game but they don't give a shit. Republicans are the ones that want to privatize the VA.

10. she is not the nominee and is so far behind in the count.

11. She's doing poorly in Lexington and Louisville. She likely won't win

That's my analysis. She is totally neglecting urban areas. She even refused to talk about the Breonna Taylor issue until she was called on it. Black people aren't too happy with her at all. Her overall campaign has been terrible as well, especially her ads.
