The logic of those on this thread who are going to vote for Grimes is confounding. I can (sort of) understand sitting out the election. But to actively vote for a Democrat just because they want to “clean house” is patently absurd. Ms. Grimes is young and attractive, and will potentially be in the seat for decades if she decides she wants to be. Incumbents are very difficult to knock out. So by a need to “punish” Mitch and the establishment GOP, these people will actively support putting a Democrat in a seat for possibly decades, with all the consequences that come with it.

Good strategy fellas. And you wonder why Republicans never win??

There’s no “punish”ment in this at all. McConnell made it abundantly clear in the primaries that he neither wanted, nor needed, the votes of true conservative patriots.

Someone dumps a bucket of shit on your head, then turns around and asks for a dollar, do you give it to them? Not me. I’m tired of the GOP abused wife syndrome. Tired of “vote for me because at least I’m not a democrat!”. Tired of the threats and empty warnings of what will happen if the Dems take control of congress. Tired of not having a candidate to vote FOR...when all I’ve done is vote AGAINST someone. Tired of campaign promises of strength, only to have the victor turn quisling and lose backbone once in office.

Tired of it all. McConnell is not getting my vote.
