Warning Signs Grow That MITCH McCONNELL IS LOSING In Kentucky Senate Race

[Segami]

"...The mainstream media is trying to give this election to Mitch McConnell, but the reality is that there are warning signs all over this campaign that Sen. McConnell is losing in Kentucky..."

SHHHHHHWEASEL, MY PRECIOUS!.............





Mitch McConnell is so desperate to get people to attend his campaign rallies that he is paying people from Ohio in order to make it appear that he has supporters. This is another sign that McConnell’s campaign may be losing in Kentucky.

According to The Independent Online in Ashland, KY,

"....With a backdrop of two gargantuan dump trucks displaying banners which read “Protect Coal Jobs” and “Support Coal or live in the Dark,” McConnell addressed about 100 supporters. They included some of the same young people decked out in red “TeamMitch” t-shirts on hand at stops in the area Tuesday and a few Whayne Supply employees, at least one of which said he lives in Ohio and can’t vote in Kentucky’s senate election. The online publication, The Hill, reported the Republican Party of Kentucky solicited volunteers to go on the trip to show support, offering to pick up the cost of their meals and lodging. McConnell would only say he has “enthusiastic supporters” when asked about the story..."

McConnell is refusing to answer questions about the supporters that his campaign paid to be on the bus tour, but reporting from the scene suggests that if the paid supporters, campaign staffers, and those who are ineligible to vote in the Senate election are subtracted, Sen. McConnell could probably comfortably fit all of his organic supporters into a few tables at Denny’s.

Candidates, Democratic or Republican, who can’t generate crowds at rallies usually don’t win. The absence of a crowd is direct indicator of a lack of enthusiasm for McConnell’s reelection bid.

1. "...McConnell campaign is sharing many traits with losing efforts...

"...The Kentucky incumbent has low approval ratings, is struggling to draw a crowd, most of his fundraising has been from big out of state donors and PACs, is being criticized for forgetting about the folks back home, and he has no clear campaign message...."

3. Republicans in KY don't want to cheer for Mitch McConnell

...but they'll vote for him, and an unenthusiastic vote counts as much as an enthusiastic one.

4. May the Toad eat his words.

[Jack Rabbit]

5. If the Turtle loses, is the Toad disqualified?

Just wondering.

[riqster]

7. If the turtle loses, it'll be the end of his shell game!

[Jack Rabbit]

9. Turtle and Toad are both going nowhere

6. GOTV to make sure!

[wyldwolf]

8. the DSCC going back in means someone has seen something...

[Jack Rabbit]

10. That they are going back is delightful

I still don't understand what they thought they saw that made them pull out. This race is winnable for the Democrats and it is crucial for the Democrats to win this one, both to deny Republicans control of the Senate and also just for its symbolic value.

11. I look forward to McTurtles concession speech.

It will make my day, year, life.

[TRoN33]

16. Nah. The moment Mitch realizes he lost, he will take Eric Cantor Walk...

Mitch would quit the Senate right away and looking for obviously lucrative jobs in corporate and lobbyist world. Mitch probably will break the rule and going ahead and join with lobbyists in less than a year.

12. LOSE YOU POS!

We got rid of one parasite (Eric Cantor) time to go for the other one!

[BlueJazz]

13. I would even vote for Mr. Toad if He and the Cockroach brothers would give everybody in ...

....Kentucky 250,000 dollars. (and I also lived there). That way, the hard working people in Kentucky can get back some of the damage that those bastards have caused.

[geretogo]

14. It will be a win for democracy unless a worse tyrant replaces him .

[Octafish]

15. No bester turtle a friend of Wall Street Warmongers ever had, that.

Mitch has sided with Money and War Inc 100-percent of the time, meaning the 1-percent of 1-percent who get the lion's share.

Mitch voted for deregulation. Mitch voted for bailout and welfare for Banksters.

And Mitch voted for wars without end.

[Blue Owl]

17. Wait what about his own cesspoll?

18. Alison is grassroots...

If the people that come to her rallies get out and vote, and I think they will, then she will defeat Mitch.
