Sir: See....Demographics means a lot. Some folks cannot think strategically!!! The numbers show that Kentucky is basically a “Red” state where Obama has very low approval ratings. The large Republican/Conservative turnout in November. plus the independents jumping to the Pubbies....will deliver a “Red” state, November, 2014!!!
Like I said...i cannot stand Mitch McConnell...he sank Ted Cruz & Mike Lee when both men were dead right about failed Obamacare. but....having said that....i cannot even stand to hear “traitor” Obama open up his “Pajama Boy” mouth. The very sight of him disgusts me!!! I can never forgive his “Benghazi” abandonment of our four public servants...left to die in terror and pain...and, now the VA gig of killing our military veterans by Obama panel choice!!! IMHO....Obama and the entire Democrat Party must be defeated politically...right now!!! McConnell...we can easily take down later.
You are so wrong it isn’t even funny.
KY is a YELLOW DOG DEMOCRAT STATE, it went “RedPublican” only due the social issues that went way Left for a lot of church-folks out here.
The only reason the GOP made any headway in this state is the fact the Democrats went full Marxist and the old Guard Democrats felt more at home in the GOP than the NeoMarxist party.
McConnell needs to be defeated in November no matter how it is done. Subterfuge and treason from within and by your won “leadership” is far more deadly to a movement than the enemy you clearly know.
I’d rather see Grimes in that seat than McConnell. She at least has not publicly declared war on Conservatives.
However, if McConnell wins reelection, which I think he will, the above scenario will not happen. The other senators fear retribution if McConnell wins and so nothing changes.
It is always my preference if the republican wins because I would rather get 70% of something than nothing. However, there are many on this website that are so blinded by outrage, they lose all perspective and frankly, can't think strategically. I call these people, absolutists, because that is what they are. Unless, they get 100% of something, they pull their knives out and call them liberals. These are the same people that are just shocked that Tillis won the NC primary, even though there was a ton of evidence he would win for months.
They are their own worst enemy and don't know it. The conservatives need to take over the republican party, but it is not done overnight. It takes time and patience and these people have none. There is no foresight and they don't care.
Having written all that, one has to admit that Mitch has been waving a red flag, drawing all kinds of attention to him because of his war on conservatives. Occasionally, one needs to put a stop to it. If Mitch is abandoned in November by conservatives, then Mitch has only himself to blame and would let future leaders know they are being watched.
Personally, I think Mitch will win. It is a republican year and voters don't usually vote out a Majority Leader from their own state.
