IMO, Ashley won’t run. I don’t believe TPTB in the Democrat party want her to enter the race.

The KY state party, yes. With the exception of Yarmuth, who is an unrepentant booster (since she'll drive up Dem/Lib/Progressive turnout in his district in what looks like a bad year for him) they've been at best tepid in support for her, knowing that their other candidates (Yarmuth excepted) will have to run like scalded dogs from her.

She's also being pushed by the NE Lib establishment, who think they can engineer another Missouri/Indiana and take out McConnell. PLUS a whole bunch of Dem Consultants who are seeing the Hollywood $$$ she can rake in and drooling over the potential cash cow.

In the meantime, the McConnell campaign is already taking good shots at her over her opposition to coal, bearing children, guns and really being a resident of Tennessee. As of this morning they're ALSO taking good shots at that Progressive group's racist tweets about McConnell's Asian-American wife.

If she jumps in, it's going to be a very fun campaign.

I believe the national party is also starting to hedge their bets.
