Moved here 2 1/2 years ago. No one likes this guy in my area either.

Makes you wonder if he was the original voting fraud test case. Spooky.

I suspect if the turnout was higher Mitch would be out of a job.

has to be something going on with the elections in Kentucky, but I would hardly call it original.

I made some great friends and nobody was "dumb," A little bit "blinded by religion," sometimes. It's very true that part of PA is much like these more southern states politically, but the people are nowhere nearly as nice. I lived in Kentucky prior to Mitch, however. He's a puzzle in every way, but certainly his last challenger (Grimes) handled it badly. This man has a super-rich, younger, attractive wife. WTF?

Definitely very very odd. Right now tho we need to be focused on the Governor, and taking his selfish lying stupid ass back to the rock he came out from.
While im passionate about my primary pick for the general election, im definitely taking the 'anybody but' stance for this race.. im not even going to post anything about candidates until may so i can see how the waters looking

He said something about running for office, I think.

Anyone that advocates getting rid of Bitch McConnell is ok in my book.

Online it says he resigned from the senate district to run for POTUS 20/20, weird. No further info. that I found.
