Today is Kentucky's primary. There are 8 Dems running....most visible being Amy McGrath and, more recently, Charles Booker.
We see all the ads here in Cincinnati because Northern KY is part of our media market and it's a big urban center.
McGrath likely wins the primary in spite of Booker's late surge. Neither have a chance vs. Mitch. I desperately want to like McGrath because of her background and my deep core loathing of Mitch. But she's been tone deaf as a candidate and, in her first foray into the political arena, she couldn't pull out a congressional district win in KY's most liberal district (Lexington). Close, but still not a win.
Honestly I don't know much about Booker's politics other than he popped out of the pack based on his proactive participation in the protest movement over the past month (that McGrath has avoided like the plague).
For different reasons, the likelihood that rural KY will vote for either of these two is absolutely zero...maybe less.
McGrath drew a lot of financial support early on but I believe that most of her money is out of state, showing just how much the nation wants Mitch out. But it's just not going to happen in this dimension.
Mitch's commercials are sickening. The key message: he's tighter with Trump that anyone in washington and he single handedly stopped the "sham impeachment".
So the path to neutering the turtle is through Maine, Arizona, Colorado and a couple other states where the republican incumbent doesn't have zombied electorate by the short hairs.
