Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes reportedly joked on Friday about the assault on Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., by his neighbor, saying it shows he can be beaten.
Associated Press reporter Adam Beam tweeted that Democrat Grimes made the remark at a local Fancy Farm Picnic in Kentucky on Friday, which Kentucky political candidates often use as the kickoff for election campaigns. Grimes is considering running for governor in 2019.
...
Grimes remark sparked a response from Paul's chief strategist Doug Stafford, who made a reference to Grimes failed 2014 Senate run, where she attempted to unseat Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.Thats almost as sad and pathetic as her last campaign, he said. Mitch beat her so bad he almost got charged with a hate crime.

I hope the Kentuckians don’t promote her to governor, but they just might do so.

I think we should be as forgiving as the left would be, if a similar joke was made about one of theirs.
We all must get away from the double standard. Right now it extends to the DOJ (Manafort treatment compared to Hillary's treatment). We must not tolerate a double standard: one for liberals and another for conservatives.

There is nothing wrong with using nicknames for dimwits who are the wrong side. Stay on our side, please.

I was just playin’ a little. I like President Trump’s style. It’s funny and refreshing and so not the standard stuffy GOPe style.
Being “unique” like everyone else is not fun. Gotta do it your own way eh.

Let us know when the left starts doing so.

If Allison was raped by MS-13, I'd feel sorry for the MS-13 for being hard up.
Allison, your remark is as bad as mine...

I was referring to posters on
this very thread who said they thought it was funny, thereby letting the leftists get away with it.

Grimes’ advocacy for violence requires that she must step down. Kentucky residents should not tolerate this garbage.

Sorry. I felt the need to circle the wagons and I wanted your wagon next to mine as the Antifa metaphorically encircles us.
From the escalator onward I was for Trump. I did cringe when he started with the nicknames and thought maybe he should make and keep friends first and then lean on them later.
But that is the old politics and never worked anyway. If Trump said, “Hey Kasich, loved your latest. Big fan, believe me. Come over sometime and we’ll have a picnic watdya say old pal?” Would that have made Kasich turn gracious to him during the Ohio nat. convention nomination week. No. Trump was nicer to Cruz who didn’t return the favor. The most gracious one at the 16 person debates was Huckabee and he got the lowest power and praise.

Come on folks, have a sense of humor. It was actually a funny line. It wasnt vicious, it was a play on words. So let me see if this passes your "humor" test.
"Gabbie Gifford's attempt to be re-elected can be easily shot down",
of course her assailant was a left wing nutter so the comparison is not strictly apt. In neither case do I find it funny.
