In Kentucky, Racial Justice Movement Transforms Quest to Oust McConnell

9. That's the same crap I heard about Andrew Gillum

He was the better candidate because Gwen Graham was too dull and wouldn't motivate the base. Meanwhile any Floridian who knows one fleck about electoral politics realized that you needed a moderate to win during a midterm, given the demographics of the turnout. Midterms are older and more white and more conservative in this state.

Turnout doesn't win anything. Kentuckians who would have considered McGrath are going to laugh at Booker.

Neither one is going to win a state with 42% conservatives and 23% liberals. As always, that is the only variable that really matters. It is the same reason Beto was never going to defeat Ted Cruz. The nation is 9% more conservatives than liberals but we're going to swipe a senate race from an incumbent in a state with 19% more conservatives than liberals. Tell that to Rachel Maddow. She'd be chirpy and limited enough to believe it:
