He joins Kentucky’s former attorney general, Daniel Cameron, in what could become a thorny GOP primary for a likely ruby red seat. […]
Cameron has long been seen as an heir apparent to McConnell, but his political career was derailed after he lost a 2023 gubernatorial contest to Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear.

Shirley that can't be what you meant to say.
The GOP has a problem nominating and electing blacks to statewide offices. Remember Herman Cain? He would have been a better senator than Issakson who lost I believe down the road. Then there’s the Oklahoma house speaker who lost to paleface Lankford. Throw in the ineptness of Robinson in NC and you can see they’ve got a tall hill to climb.
Winsome Sears should take note. Let’s hope Florida republicans can carry Donalds.
**Does one understand you correctly? He’s a loser but put him on the Supreme Court?**
It’s simple. He won’t have to face the voters.
Well what about me?
Put me on the Supreme Court and then I won’t have to face the voters.
Donald’s WILL be the next FL. Gov.
Any of them have the stones to serve their nation in uniform?
Andy Barr is definitely NOT a solid conservative (then again, neither is his district), but he could hardly be worse than McTurtle. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it, but perhaps Barr will move to the right as a Senator since he represents the entire state and not just one squishy district. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves though; he isn't elected yet.
You are very smart.
Andy Barr is mediocre wilted salad - the status quo. Of course he also didn’t have the guts to run against a very popular incumbent with approval ratings in the mid to high 60s, either. Cameron did...and did well with a fraction of the resources against said incumbent. Had he been funded so he could actually compete instead of being on the defensive the entire time the result may have been different, despite the odds.
There’s another candidate waiting in the wings as well, Nate Morris.
Like Daniel Cameron who was nominated and elected to statewide office? And literally everyone knew he was black? And he was not the first.
This has been pointed out to you numerous times before - so you have to know at this point it is not true, yet you keep on saying it. All of the other people you mentioned were and are statewide nominated *and elected* black candidates. Nothing you say is correct. Nothing.
If I’m mistaken, you are the same person that took data from completely different types of election races to compare instead of the same type of election race to make a non-existent point. You claimed that we should compare presidential race data to governors races vs. governors races to governors races, which makes absolutely no sense, especially in a state like Kentucky. You even compared Trump’s performance vs. Biden and Hillary as somehow noteworthy vs. the governor race results, even though Biden and Hillary certainly did not have 65% approval ratings in Kentucky...probably wasn’t even 30% for them...yet you argued the comparison was valid. Comparing him to prior Republican candidates for governor he historically performed well. This is not refutable.
Daniel Cameron was running against a very popular incumbent office holder with approval ratings in the mid to high 60s. That is reality. Extremely difficult scenario for any candidate to prevail under as a challenger. And you know that. And he had the guts to make the run. These other guys did not. But, having just run for governor and lost, he can indeed look like an “also ran” for jumping back into the saddle so quickly after that loss - which would be a completely valid point against his candidacy.
There’s also a third prominent candidate possibly looking to run - Nate Morris.
**Daniel Cameron who was nominated and elected to statewide office? And literally everyone knew he was black? And he was not the first.**
Loser.
**If I’m mistaken, you are the same person that took data from completely different types of election races to compare**
You are mistaken.
**Daniel Cameron was running against a very popular incumbent office holder**
Unforced error.
