A Brand New Initiative Has Been Launched To Fire Mitch McConnell
Let America Vote has launched a new campaign targeted four GOP Senate seats that if flipped would fire Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader.
According to a Let America Vote statement provided to PoliticusUSA:
Later this spring, Let America Vote will add Kentucky to the list of targets to help stop McConnell from coming back to Washington at all. We will also be watching Senate races in Georgia, Maine and Texas, among others, throughout the cycle to determine additional races to add to the project.
McConnell has been the biggest enemy of voting rights in Congress. He is also the biggest proponent of Citizens United. There are a lot of reasons to get rid of Majority Leader McConnell. His protection of Trump, shady dealings with Russia, theft of a Supreme Court seat, and obstruction are four of the biggest, but the Senator from Kentucky is also a champion of making it more difficult for the American people to vote.
Republicans are going to be fighting battles on multiple fronts in 2020, but unless Democrats want a return to the years of holding the White House and having obstructionist Mitch block everything in the Senate, they must not only take back the White House but send Mitch McConnell packing.
One of the best ways to protect voting rights is to make Chuck Schumer majority leader and strip Mitch McConnell of his power.

(692 posts)Wife that he couldn't possibly please.
He's now worth tens of millions of dollar, He's stolen a SC Justice, undermined the first non-white President at tje expense of ALL Americans, ensured that only bills HE wanted to pass are put on the Senate floor for a vote...
I'm thinking that homely POS has already accomplished almost everything he wanted - I'm thinking He's ready to retire. He wants to spend the rest of his days sitting back and watching the Dems try to fix the mess that republicans have left...

(I have said as much in messages to Gardner's office answering machines.)
Romanoff is an excellent Democrat, and will fight hard for all the correct issues.

(21,195 posts)The Russians interfered in our elections, they are putting lies on Facebook and Twitter. Putin is not our friend and is trying to destroy America. If we can get that out in Kentucky early we can get McConnell taken out. I hope whoever runs against waits Until the last minute to run so they cant slime them early. No repuke lite like Allison Grimes though. Id love to see the old governor run against him.

(10,078 posts)A February poll of Kentucky voters showed an approval rating for McConnell of only 33%. His polls are generally low and yet he somehow keeps being reelected. Rumors have been around for years that elections are manipulated to keep McConnell in office. Knowing how Republicans. Heat in other states, I would not be surprised that similar cheating goes on for McConnell. Although, rural Kentucky still outnumbers the more progressive cities.The state as a whole is red, red, red.

Multiple times. I kept thinking to myself, "This little thing is tough as hell. I can't crush him".
He kept crawling out of the bottom of my screen and in spite the many 1000 of times I've seen those little buggers, this time it got me good.
