Mitch McConnell/Alison Lundergan Grimes debate - highlights

[Stevepol]

6. Great point!

I only saw the last part of the debate in real time, and the moderator allowed McC to talk about twice as much as Grimes during that time. It's true that the moderator brought up some facts that seemed to undercut McC's position but the longer you listen to a specious argument, the more reasonable it seems. I don't think the moderator was a Republican but he definitely allowed McC moretimethant Grimes. Grimes needed more face time, especially considering how good she looked up there.

But my gripe is that Democrats need to defend the ACA and the other proposals that are out there when the facts are so much in favor of them. The ACA is NOT a failure. It's true that insurance is rising but it's rising MUCH LESS THAN IT DID BEFORE THE ACA. Why not say that for God's sake? Why shilly-shally to try to avoid saying Obama's name like it's a curse word? If you don't want to use his name, then talk about the DEMOCRATS' ACA, the DEMOCRATS' minimum wage law, the DEMOCRATS' stimulus, etc. The American people are in favor of what these laws do. In KY as thru-out the country there are a lot of people who unconsciously are racist and you get nowhere getting them to think by calling them that. But it seems to me it would be easy as pie to get the facts out there. Why are Dems so reluctant to defend the DEMOCRATS' successes with FACTS?
