So you do prefer a Democrat to McConnell—this is insanity,
Did you even read what I wrote?
McConnell is a piss poor leader. He is constantly helping the democrats and undermining conservatives at every turn. He looks like a turtle and his way of speaking has no energy whatsoever, just a droning quality brought about by reading speeches that he didn’t write to an empty senate chamber.
If McConnell could be re-elected but would be a back-bencher like he used to be I would be happy to see him re-elected. But as republican leader he is terrible. Ideally I want him defeated in a primary so the republican can go on to defeat the democrat. But either way, he must be defeated so a stronger, younger, more-able, more-energetic leadership can rise up. He won’t step aside and nobody will try to remove him, and even if they did, his senate buddies would rally around him. Therefore it’s up to the people of Kentucky to choose somebody else to represent them in the senate.
