Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes began her one-week sprint to Election Day flanked by one of the most popular members of her party.
Before the week’s up, she’ll be joined again by a former president and his wife, whom many believe will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2016 if she decides to run.
Grimes was joined by U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., before about 400 supporters at the Copper and Kings Distillery in Louisville Tuesday, and the two hemmed close to Grimes’ primary talking points on the campaign trail. In Warren, who made her second appearance in Kentucky’s contentious U.S. Senate race between Grimes and Republican U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, Grimes had an advocate for student loan reform.
Warren spoke about the Democrat-backed student loan refinancing bill she sponsored earlier this year and McConnell’s role in leading a filibuster against the legislation, effectively blocking its progress in the U.S. Senate. McConnell, the Senate’s Republican leader, said at the time the bill was aimed to help Democrats’ political prospects.
“Every single Democrat in the United State Senate supported this bill,” Warren said, noting 40 million Americans have a collective $1.2 trillion in student loan debt. “Alison Lundergan Grimes supports this bill. So why is it not the law? Two words: Mitch McConnell.
“Now, I want you to think about that. We’re talking about refinancing student loan debt. … Mitch McConnell could have said, ’Yes.’ He could have said, ‘Yes,’ to 359,000 people here in Kentucky. He could have said, ‘Not yes to that, but let’s negotiate and see if we can find some other place, maybe we’ll have a different interest rate.’ I at least would have heard that, but Mitch McConnell had just one word. He said, ‘No.’”

Did Warren wear her Indian headdress?
How this woman had any credibility left all her lies to advance her career was exposed is beyond me.
Campaigning with a fake Indian. What does that tell you about DemocRATS? Geesh. Ya gotta be a real, gullible moron or a DemocRAT jackass to vote for these idiots.
If that crazy woman had been a republican after her lies to advance her career were exposed, the media would have roasted her and her political career would have been over.
Sort of like Obama’s career would have been over after the rev. Wright videos were made public. There’s no way a republican could have politically survived if such was made public about them.
Yes, she would have been forced to resign.
And she’s also not being truthful about the bill she’s making a big deal about in this instance...Reid put it straight on the floor for a vote and didn’t even let it go into committee - no way for any discussions to take place. I bet he didn’t even allow any amendments to it.
How much is she charging to campaign for these people? Hillary gets anywhere from 300K to 500K per candidate. She’ll make 3-5 million dollars campaigning for candidates. Hillary serves the almighty dollar, not the United States
Allison wants to be Kentucky’s Obama girl.
She’s got Obama, Warren, Hillary, Soros, and every other left wing extremist behind her and some on here aren’t sure if they’re going to support her.
Fauxahontis “helping” liar fraud Grimes at a local whiskey distillery— how appropriate. You’d have to be hammered to listen to their drivel.
This also points out it is the “Tavern” democrats— just like in Tammany Hall days who are trying run and ruin things. They run bars... not productive businesses.
