    1. Moscow Mitch must go! That old senile is responsible for holding the country back! He is an absolute disgrace and shame to humanity!

    2. Still? You have a much better chance of getting rid of McConnell with McGrath on the ticket. Thank goodness Democrats in Kentucky were smart enough that they chose McGrath.

  1. Can I ask how does that Mitch McConnell manage to keep a seat for 30 years plus he is odious little creep what People get from Him, I will never know truly outrageous set from affairs

    1. Very dirty dealings in life. I’m sure he will put it all on full display come election time. So Democrats need to be ready to fight those dirty tactics.

    2. McConnell has won all his elections by small amounts. This could be his toughest election ever

    3. when you grease the gears of the democratic process with $$$ you tend to win a great deal with magical numbers appearing out of nowhere.

    1. @Mary Hubbard
      If Mitch had his way, those same poor folks you care for would have no health insurance.

    2. @Trust Yourself
      Modern day Democrats have voted for every right you have, including Social Security, Medicare, and if not for the Democrats black people wouldn’t even be able to vote at all unless they wanted to risk being killed.

    3. @bryanatwku
      You’re a misinformed liar. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Bigotry is in the marrow of your bones.

    4. @Evelyn Brown Jim Crow was a Democrat not a Republican. The ones who was using the kkk to terrorize black people from voting, hanging them on trees was Democrats. The majority of the governors in every southern state was Democrats. It’s sad our people today totally forgotten who was the slave owners and the ones who started the kkk. Absolutely sad…

    1. @Walt Schmidt Just because one is old does not mean they know anything worthwhile. Sometimes they do, but not in this case. He went into the senate almost broke and now because he and his wife are fleecing America and consorting with the enemy they are almost billionaires. So I guess he does know how to do something.

  2. Either way, McGrath is a moderate Democrat, but still a Democrat. Who ever makes it to the end, we need to support them. The goal is to remove McConnell.

    1. Trust Yourself Trump is going to lose badly. All Biden has to do is keep his head down and he will coast into the Oval Office.

      Trump has screwed up covid and the protests too badly. Stick a fork in that guy.

    2. @Jason Collins The majority of black voters who knows about the Biden Strum kkk Thurman joint crime bill not going to vote for Biden. Biden try explaining why he made a bill for 5 years in prison if caught with a quarter size amount of crack yet his son hunter had baseball size amounts of crack and never spent 1 day in prison.

    3. @Rabble Wolf Ain’t no trolling here. Joe Biden crime bill got hundreds of thousands of black men sent to prison for non violent crimes. Most young blacks sitting out the 2020 election. Same way Hillary lost to Trump because of the Clinton crime bill that hurt blacks.

    4. @Deborah Freedman What is a “Marxist” Here in Sweden 0 people die from lack of Healthcare per year while 36-68 000 Americans dies from not affording Healthcare, while 500 000 people goes bankrupt thanks to Healthcare costs. Furthermore Healthcare and medicine is much cheaper in Sweden, while also being better. All thanks to social democrats and progressives. Meanwhile you’re at least 60 years behind in the US and your so called moderates do what to give the people good Healthcare?

  3. “My biggest regret in life was nominating Mitch McConnell for the U.S. Senate” – Thomas Jefferson. 🙂

    1. I remember when he said that it was the day I had bought my first flying car from the ESPN dealership. That was a great speech 🙌🏾

  4. I’m a Republican, voted for our new Democratic governor, and can’t wait to vote a straight Democratic ticket come November! And I hope our country can recover from the fiasco of the past 4 years! Term limits for all would have helped….I would have voted for Booker also…I agree the Washington Swamp needs to be CLEANED! It’s time for a new world for my grandchildren!

    1. @ChannelSurfer 2020
      Yes!! Its not the Republican Party. Its Trump and Mitch. People are crossing Party lines to get them out.

    2. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 When did he mention that idjit.Quit your unproven conspiracies you’re starting to sound like your liar in chief Drumpf!!

    3. @Johonnac No but neither was Sanders who also changed partys thinking they had a better chance in running!!

  5. This is what voter suppression looks like. A ton of people in line to vote left when they locked the doors. Not even getting into the distance and voting requirements. Sad.

    1. No, this is a success for mail-in voting. Sure, it took longer to count, but people had a voice.

  6. Gotta get Booker’s support and more to get Amy elected. Retire MCConnell… needs to happen.

    1. Yo Lol
      Moscow Mitch, the grim reaper will no longer be killing ideas… the senate will turn blue like the sky🌊 Moscow Mitch will just keep taking cash out of Kentucky.

    1. Caribbean Girl how come the voters in MI continue to elect old white people to the Senate instead of the dynamic and experienced young African American who is running again this year??? Kentucky is relatively conservative on social issues, the Democratic Party is on the far left…

    2. Pizza Pizza I disagree. Mitch McConnell takes partisanship to a new low. He makes up rules that don’t exist.

      When George W. Bush was president, Harry Reid allowed all his judicial nominations to go through except one, and Bush pitched a fit about that.
      When Obama was president McConnell blocked practically all of his nominees. He made up some new rule to prevent Obama from choosing a Supreme Court Justice in his final year. That has never been done before.
      Mitch McConnell is notorious for making deals with Democrats and then welching on them. He is dishonest and without a shred of decency. No one is as bad as Moscow Mitch… except for the Top Turd himself, Trump!

    3. @Pizza Pizza Compromise ranks low on the hierarchy of conflict resolution. Collaboration is the highest form of multiple-party problem solution. McConnel has shown am absolute opposition to bi-partisan collaboration. However, he is but a single person. Are there any collaborative policies that you would like to see enacted?

    1. Logic B4Religion uh, look at Canada’s PM… dudes daddy was a PM and his experience consisted of being a high school drama teacher…

  7. I’m so proud of this comments section. Red and blue coming together to take out Moscow Mitch

    1. Raven Stark, when I say “I have never met”, obviously I am speaking from my own personal experience which of course is anecdotal. Of course, I don’t know every Democrat. But just in general, Democrats around here are poor. People associate them with government support programs like welfare or food stamps, which is why no one openly says they are a Democrat here. I’m sure there are some successful Democrats in larger Kentucky cities like Lexington or Louisville. I just never met any personally. Are there successful Democrats in your area?

    2. Pizza Pizza, I think most Kentuckians are open minded. But they live in the real world and aren’t going to support the crazy Democrat policies. Most people here are hard working Christian patriots.

    3. SkyGemini the only problem is that we (conservatives) own about 300,000,000 guns… so make sure you confiscate them before you defund the police…

  8. Bunker Boy Mitchi Boy Vote them Away I want a huge wave that wipes them away . Big love from Germany 🇩🇪

  9. I look forward to watching EVERYONE IN KENTUCKY line up at the poles, NO matter HOW LONG those lines are!! Remember folks we need to help each other if we wanna win. Ask your elderly neighbors/friends that dont drive if they need a ride, DO WHATEVER YOU CAN, NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES……WE GOT THIS IF WE WORK TOGETHER 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

    1. Amen , as good democrats we should also each vote multiple times . We have got to get Moscow Mitch out by any means necessary and replace establishment republicans with establishment democrats .

    1. we need term limits for every level of government: from the sheriffs in small towns and villages all the way up to and including the supreme court.

    2. @Albert Brammer ~ *and the word ‘congress’ applies to the entire body: which is the house of representatives and the senate combined. …”The United States Congress is the bicameral legislature of the federal government of the United States and consists of **#two** chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate.” ~ definition courtesy of **congress.gov*

    3. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it… Kentucky has been electing pro life, pro 2nd amendment Senators for a long time, even if Mitch were to retire, he would most likely be replaced by another conservative…
