Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton To STORM Into Kentucky To FINISH OFF MITCH McCONNELL

[Segami]

Democrats are sending in the big guns during the last week of the Kentucky Senate race as Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will both take part in rallies for Alison Lundergan Grimes. The Grimes campaign announced that Sen. Warren will rally with Grimes on Tuesday in Louisville, “Senator Elizabeth Warren will join Alison Lundergan Grimes to rally Kentuckians who are ready for a Senator who will put hardworking families before millionaires and billionaires – as Mitch McConnell has done for far too long.” After Warren leaves the Bluegrass State, Hillary Clinton will be campaigning with Alison Lundergan Grimes in Northern Kentucky and Lexington on Saturday November 1.



Grimes campaign manager Jonathan Hurst said, “Just days before the election, Alison is honored to have Hillary Rodham Clinton join her for campaign stops in Northern Kentucky and Lexington. Her recent visit to Kentucky drew thousands of grassroots supporters to hear her endorse Alison’s plan to get Washington working for Kentucky. As she said in that speech, ‘more than any other race in the country, this election in Kentucky is a referendum on the future.’ It’s a privilege that she will be making the case for Alison on the final weekend of this campaign.” Sen. Warren has been out to defeat McConnell since he blocked her student loan bill.


In June, Warren said,

Well, accountability is exactly the right word. I plan on fighting back on this, and I hope that everybody else does too. One way, I’m going to start fighting back is I’m going to go down to Kentucky and I’m going to campaign for Alison Lundergan Grimes, . She’s tough. She’s feisty. She endorsed the student loan bill, said she wanted to bring down interest rates for Kentuckians, and so my view is, I’m going to get out there and try to make this happen for her.

I hope lots of people give her money at alisonforkentucky.com. I hope people will support her, because it’s really a way to say Alison is a candidate who’s there for all of us. For trying to make sure that everybody gets a fighting chance. It’s one way to deal with this. I gotta tell you, given what Mitch McConnell’s has been doing in the United States Senate. The way it’s just block, block, block, no, no, no. We get Alison Lundergan Grimes, in there and I feel like she could almost single-handedly get rid of some of the gridlock here in Washington.

Sen. Warren has been true to her word. The Massachusetts Democrat has been actively campaigning for Alison Lundergan Grimes. It is a brilliant strategic move for the Grimes campaign to feature both Warren and Clinton in the final week. Sen. Warren will help get the hardcore left out to support Grimes. Clinton will be able to target the moderate Democrats, Independents, and Republicans who could be learning towards supporting McConnell. The contrast between the two campaigns is stunning. McConnell is paying people to attend his rallies, while Grimes is drawing thousands of Kentuckians who are craving change.

1. Get 'em!!!!!

[Cha]

2. Good! Good Luck to Alison Grimes~ Mahalo Segami

[walkingman]

3. Kick his butt!!

[Segami]

4. McConnell won't even know who ate him

[Fearless]

5. "Sen. Warren will help get the hardcore left out to support Grimes...

...Clinton will be able to target the moderate Democrats, Independents, and Republicans..."

Exactly why I would vote for Sen. Warren over Hillary Clinton any day.

[Hekate]

7. Exactly why Hillary got so many votes when she went up against Obama

Not a bad thing, all things considered, and she WILL help GOTV for Grimes.

[wyldwolf]

12. Just one of the reasons I'd vote for...

Hillary over Warren any day.

[Fearless]

19. How does one appeal to Republicans?

They agree with them.

TPP for instance.

[wyldwolf]

21. how does one not appeal to independent and red state voters?

If they're not moderate, they don't. The LOSE.

[Fearless]

22. Is the same not true then for Republicans who want to win

Would they not have to cater to democrats?? I think not. They need to cater to their base and inspire them to vote. We don't change our views to elect Democrats, we change Democrats to elect people who suppory our views.

[wyldwolf]

23. of course it is. Elections are won in the center, not with magic progressive pixie dust

[Fearless]

24. Please let me know when Republicans start courting Democrats

[wyldwolf]

25. Sure. How about I let you know now?

Now here's the part where you create some kind of excuse as to why these examples don't count.

[Fearless]

29. Scott Brown lost.

I have no desire to vote for a politician who acts like Rand Paul.

Cochran is an established Senator in a Republican state. He was in no threat of losing his seat.

[wyldwolf]

30. So? What does that have to do with Republicans courting Democrats?

[Fearless]

31. It doesn't work, it's irrelevent, or in Rand Paul's case, it's a joke.

[wyldwolf]

32. that's irrelevant to our conversation on whether it happens or not.

[Fearless]

33. The issue is whether or not it works!

[wyldwolf]

34. Post #24: "Please let me know when Republicans start courting Democrats"

I also said in post #25 "Now here's the part where you create some kind of excuse as to why these examples don't count."

So predictable.

Show me where your point was EVER whether it worked or not (before post #33)

But I can show you many examples of Republicans courting Democrats and it working.

[Fearless]

35. Post 5

"Sen. Warren will help get the hardcore left out to support Grimes...

...Clinton will be able to target the moderate Democrats, Independents, and Republicans..."

Exactly why I would vote for Sen. Warren over Hillary Clinton any day.


Leaning "center" DOES NOT WORK. It alienates your base and hurts you. Your examples have shown this or have shown to be irrelevant in that the Senator would win regardless because of the hardcore Republican base in Mississippi.

[wyldwolf]

36. Post 5 says ZERO about Republicans courting Democrats. Quote the line.

[Fearless]

37. Reread it

The part where I said I'd support Warren because she courts the left versus Hillary who courts the "center-right" and my comment later responding that courting the opposition is not the way to win an election, but a way to disinfranchise your base and cause them not to turn and and then for you to lose the election.

It's all there.

[wyldwolf]

38. Post 5 doesn't come close to saying Republicans never court Democrats

[Fearless]

39. That's not what I said. I said it never works.

[wyldwolf]

40. Post #5, and there are many example of it working. Shall I list a biggie?

[Fearless]

41. Please.

[wyldwolf]

42. What the hell. Two MAJOR ones

Nixon wooed Democrats.
Reagan wooed Democrats.

Both scored major electoral victories with Democratic votes.

Next?

[brooklynite]

17. So, you can win a national election with just the hardcore left?

Who knew?

[Hekate]

18. It's a dearly held fantasy by some.

I try not to burst their bubble more than once a week -- mostly because it's an unrewarding exercise for me anyway.

[Fearless]

20. The Democratic Party was strongest when we stood for things

Not catered to republicans or republican-lite candidates. Is it a wonder we're seen as weak and spineless?

[Hekate]

6. Well, damn. That's outstanding. You go, girls!

[Ykcutnek]

8. I admire both women a great deal.

They represent the very best of the two best segments of our party.

It's good to see both wings working together to Ditch Mitch.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

9. Yay!

[PAProgressive28]

10. Good for them!

We need to finish the job by voting!

[ReRe]

11. They need to call Pricilla Presley...

... and ask for permission to play Elvis's Kentucky Woman this last week in these rallies. That would be sweet! Mitch is playing that Ky woman ad twice at a time now a gazillion times a day. We need to make him EAT it.

[bigbrother05]

26. Neil Diamond?

[ReRe]

27. Oops?

May be a senior moment on my part, but my mind told me Elvis did it too?

[ReRe]

28. Yes, it was my feeble mind...

... Elvis did Kentucky Rain. Neil Diamond did it and I know he would see yes, if asked. Thanks for correcting me!

[davidpdx]

13. God I hope this finishes him off

[Mister Nightowl]

14. The Cavalry Cometh!

[napkinz]

15. kick!!!!

nt

[WinkyDink]

16. I guess neither woman will use the term "Pennsyltucky."
