It is probably why he spent so much effort trying to get Bevin re-elected despite the fact Bevin is definitely not his cup of tea so that a Dem would not be in that position. There was speculation McConnell planned to retire mid term and Daniel Cameron would be appointed in his place. Probably a deal he and Bevin struck with Cameron being someone acceptable to them both. Unfortunately Bevin destroyed himself. Cameron is the nominee for governor now.
I still can’t get over articles being posted about Fancy Farm picnic as though heckling never occurs and this was a sign of something big happening against McConnell. Whether or not it is, heckling at the Fancy Farm picnic is certainly no sign of it. People are proud of their willful ignorance, I guess.
Further complicating matters is Cameron is trailing in all the polls I’ve seen - not by that much but sheesh. This could really be a Senate flip if Cameron can’t pull it out and McConnell has to resign or dies.
I just can’t figure out these solid red southern states that vote for Democrats for governor. Do they want a Chuck Schumer representing them in the Senate? That’s what they will get if Beshear gets his way.
