like Kentucky where economic hardship is rampant. Why do you think Andy Barr uninvited AOC to visit KY and talk to voters? Because her message would've resonated with Kentuckians. Sometimes I think Dems make the mistake of thinking conservative Dems are the answer in these states, but they can be so bland as to be uninspiring.
