Per source, Dem operative makes a pitch to celeb on resistance Twitter to ignore Amy McGrath. It doesn't go well.

1. ALRIGHT!

2. The "Democratic operative" is likely Dana Houle -- and he's giving good advice.

Put money where it can make a difference in tight, winnable races, instead of sending "feel-good money" to a candidate who has plenty and is a near-certainty to lose.

3. Yes, it is good advice.

I was surprised by the nasty response.

Sadly, the latest poll (rated B+ on 538) has McConnell up by 9.

4. I've seen this argument here on DU

with people supporting it. The difference is that the earlier DU post included links to candidates who need donations more than Grath.

5. Not a single poll has ever shown McGrath winning.

She’s getting crushed by 9 points in the latest one. Has there even been any polls that showed the race close?

She’s not going to win. People have been wasting their money donating to her. We stand a better chance of flipping South Carolina, Mississippi, and Alaska than we do Kentucky. People have allowed their (completely justified, mind you) hatred of McConnell cloud their better judgment.
