The McConnell McGrath Debate could Hurt Republicans in other States

Kentucky is a very difficult state for democrats because it's a very conservative southern state but without the large minority population many other southern states have which help democrats win.

I hope McGrath can somehow win this but it will be difficult. But I think the debate and especially that moment when McGrath is bringing up McConnell not doing anything to pass a bill to help people with Covid and instead he just laughs that weird, inappropriate laugh could hurt Republicans . McConnell had no other response to what McGrath brought up .

Democrats across the country running for Senate should bring this up and make a case that supporting a democrat means defeating McConnell. I think it could help in places like North Carolina and Pennsylvania and maybe even Alabama and Mississippi. McConnell is NOT popular or liked much in the way Trump is by the Republicans. Maybe it could get some conservatives that are voting Trump to vote for the Democrat when it comes to the Senate.

Defeating McConnell should be a huge part of the democratic campaigns . And show that clip of his disgusting laugh.

Should be in ever ad in Ky.

And Cornyn laughing as Whitehead read off his actions against health care should run in Texas.

A Buckeye, we have no Senator running. Our great Sherrod Brown would welcome a fellow Texan.

Ohio put Obama over the top, I hope he spends time here. People are fanning out to campaign for Joe. Trump seems to be running all over by himself.

SC is killing me this morning.

The accusation was that she would "take away your Medicare", an obvious confusion about actually giving it to others instead.

McGrath did everything right. I suspect it will barely move the needle.

in a big plus for the Democrats. As much as I would like to see McConnell defeated, him having to serve as minority leader (if the republicans don't go with someone else) might even be a sweeter moment.

It encapsulates the "why" about everything this country is going through.
