“I know enough Kentuckians who will vote for Grimes over McConnell just to get rid of McConnell. That could just be limited to those I know, but they sure want him gone.
They’d rather have an open liberal than a traitor in their midst.”

The GOPe would rather have their establishment candidate win the nomination and lose the Senate seat than have a conservative alternative win the nomination and then GO ON TO ACTUALLY WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION AGAINST the DemocRATS.
McConnell has become VERY unpopular in Kentucky. He’s a weasel in a turtle’s shell.
I’m right across the river, rural Ohio across from rural KY, but they don’t like Mitch.
McConnell (31%) is polling about the same level as Jim Bunning (28%) was. Funny thing is that Cornyn forced Bunning to step aside because they said he would lose to the democrat. Looks like Cornyn wants McConnell to lose to Grimes so he’ll take Mitch’s place.
