KY-SEN: Amy McGrath in

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

After what McGrath said, Jim Gray should immediately jump into race and try to beat her, or Beshear will lose. Bredesen and Strickland and Bayh made conservative positions and lost the elections, by not taking progressive stances

[MT Treasurer]

Easily one of the worst and most overrated Democrats out there, so I’m definitely looking foward to McConnell annihilating her:

Solid thinks this is Lean D, seriously,  she didnt learn from Bredesen, who said the samething and lost. Safe R and KY-Gov

You repeatedly said McConnell might lose? And Beshear is likely to win.

[Skye]

...is this like the fastest campaign blunder ever?

[Mr. Illini]

The Democratic leadership couldn't get Bullock or Hickenlooper to run and instead are focusing recruitment attention and money on this fool's gold seat. Fell into the same trap in 2014.

What a joke of an opposition party on the Senate level.

[Pericles]

On one hand it is unfortunate that McGrath seems to be a worse candidate than expected but otoh even if she were a perfect candidate this race would still be Safe R.

[Karpatsky]

Adkins should run and beat her in the primary just to flex on Twitter Dems.

[Continential]

Had Jim Gray won the primary, he would have won in KY-06.

[Continential]

Also, I'd support Matt Jones and not Rocky Adkins in the primary.

[Roll Roons]

Cornyn isnt losing to Hegar, he will lose to C Bell. We need Franken to run in Iowa against Ernst

Franken running in Iowa?  What on God's green earth are you talking about?

Not Al Franken lol. There's a retired Navy Admiral named Michael Franken who's apparently considering a bid.

[InheritTheWind]

Jesus Christ she's so bad at this.

Usually agree with most things you say; but honestly what would you do differently as Schumer & co?

Like the Senate is a god awful place to work; both Bullock and Hickenlooper are ex governors in their 60s (so are hardly going to be lifers) who want the ego trip of running for President.

What can Schumer do to get them to run?  People seem to forget how egotistical, stubborn and tin eared a lot of politicians are- it's not like there's just a lever for Schumer to pull.

I think we tend to obsess slightly over recruiting; Strickland, Bredesen, Bayh, McSally, and lots of others were seen as great recruits where as people Jacky Rosen were at the bottom of Harry Reid's list to run

Damn, that's devastating and it's only the first ad.

Yarmuth and other local Dems are on record as wanting a primary, though not endorsing someone else. Jones sounds more interested than he initially did, and Adkins is also being courted. National Dems aren't interested in Jones though.

[Frenchrepublican]

I really love this quote : ''Yarmuth said it is a waste of time for Kentucky Democrats to court Trump voters, who delivered the president a 30 percentage point victory in 2016. He said the better pathway to defeating McConnell is running up huge margins in urban centers, such as his district of Louisville, and other Democratic strongholds such as Lexington.''

This strategy worked really well for Jim Gray.

Anyway, I think Rocky Adkins would have at least given McConnell a scare, but McGrath is going to do worse than ALG and Gray.

Worse than ALG is a pretty hard thing to fathom.

A Democrat getting less than 40% in KY is quite easy to fathom. Even against McConnell. And McGrath hardly inspires confidence.

Her campaigns off to a rocky start but don't count her off yet she nearly won a trump +10 district last year. I think Adkins is our best shot at the seat but McGrath isn't DOA just yet though this race is almost safe r

If anything that bolsters the argument against her. If she couldn’t win the second Dem friendliest  seat in KY last year what the hell makes people think she has any shot statewide

Actually Trump +16

Yeah that's still a double digit loss in this state. LOL.

Whew! Imagine donating all of your cold, hard cash to this race hoping to flip the Senate with a dud candidate and ignoring states that have sprawling metros with hordes of non-white people and white progressives eager to be mobilized and flip their respective states.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Yeah I'd rather even spend on GA than this mess.

[Some of My Best Friends Are Gay]

Adkins would have the best shot, but he still most likely loses by double digits. at least he'd win back some ancestral Democrats and maybe a handful of moderate Republicans who don't like McConnell but won't vote for a "progressive" Democrat.
