Ugh... I was really hoping he would retire so Massie could run.
Which Kentucky Democrat can give him a tough challenge?
No one.
Yeah, likely no one. Democrats put a lot of effort into defeating McConnell last time, and Grimes didn't even come close to winning. As much as I'd like to see McConnell lose, I don't think it's gonna happen
Grimes was objectively a bad candidate, and it was in the middle of a low-turnout Republican wave. Back in 2008 when he was just semi-unpopular he nearly lost to Lunsford, who was also a less than stellar candidate.
