The wife & I refuse to vote for him this time. Strange how angry people can get when their Senator threatens them and craps all over them. We’re not like abused wives, we are NOT coming back for our fair share of abuse.
I have no idea how many conservatives feel as we do out here. Going to be interesting to see. My gut feeling at this point is he will pull it out by the skin of his teeth. The Dem fraud machine here is not sufficient (yet) for a Republican to be ahead by 3 points and still lose.
But.....they want this one pretty bad, so I see the likelihood of some heavy duty smears late in the campaign.
Here’s how I would run Grimes campaign: Why would anyone want a Republican that can’t be trusted and betrays his own base? Sell it as a man that can’t be trusted by his own party, so why should Dems *or* Pubbies want him.
Grimes ain't weak.
I think McConnell is toast.

Yup, the Dems are really obsessed with defeating McConnell.
A close race is to our advantage. Means the Dems will pump money into KY that they’d otherwise spend elsewhere. Might be enough to swing one or two other marginal races our way.
I still think McConnell wins. Especially if Obama tries to implement that climate treaty. Grimes is pulling out all the stops in trying to win votes in coal country, will see her chances there implode if Obama follows through with his plans.
So, presuming that he’ll win, I want McConnell to damage Grimes as much as he can to hurt her chances at other elective offices (like Governor) she might try for down the road.
I have no idea how many conservatives feel as we do out here.
