We've talked before about the Kentucky Senate race.
A longtime Republican senator and current Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has
a real challenge in former Marine and Democratic nominee Amy McGrath.
They recently debated and disgusting Mitch McConnell just laughing, cackling when Amy
McGrath confronted him about his abject failures in dealing with Corona virus.
He just laughs.
He's laughing as more than 200000 have died.
Take a look at this.
The House passed a bill in May and the Senate went on vacation.
I mean, you just don't do that.
You negotiate.
Senator, it is a national crisis.
You know, that the Corona virus wasn't going to end at the end of July.
We knew this.
I mean, I just think you've got to and here's the thing.
If you want to call yourself a leader.
So will you.
You want to call yourself a leader.
You've got to get things done.
Those of us who served in the Marines don't just point fingers.
And the other side when we get the job done.
Senator, you went on vacation when people needed corona virus relief.
Quite a guy, right?
I mean, we we have to assume I really believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt.
And I know there or every state has a lot of ideological nutty right wingers.
We have to assume that not all Kentuckians actually like Mitch McConnell, don't we?
In other words, part of why Mitch McConnell has been in power for so long has to be that
many people simply aren't paying attention and don't actually endorse this guy's complete
and total immorality.
I hope for the sake of humanity that that's the case, at least to some extent.
Here's more of Mitch McConnell laughing off accurate statements from Amy McGrath about
the Supreme Court, about corona virus relief, about everything.
This montage includes part of the clip I showed you just a couple of minutes ago.
And he's walking away from negotiations even now when President Trump even wants negotiations
to happen before this election.
It's it's irresponsible.
Senator McConnell.
And instead of doing that, he is trying to ram through a Supreme Court nominee right
now instead of negotiating.
Which is what he should have been doing all summer long to make that happen.
Senator, you have an additional response.
We've got to get our democracy working because we have to get through this crisis crisis
right now.
That's your time, Senator McConnell.
The Senate went on vacation.
I mean, you just don't do that.
You negotiate.
Senator, it is a national crisis.
You know that the Corona virus wasn't going to end at the end of July.
You want to call yourself a leader.
You've got to get things done.
Those of us who served in the Marines don't just point fingers and the other side and
we got the job done.
Is it all a joke to Mitch McConnell or or does he at least see Amy McGrath as a joke?
Is that what it is?
Because that's the laugh of a hypocrite.
Unfortunately, there are many voters in Kentucky who think at least he's not a Democrat and
they're going to vote for him.
That counts for a lot in many Republican stronghold.
Like Kentucky.
But imagine removing Mitch McConnell on November 3rd.
It's an uphill battle, no doubt.
But if you look at 538 ICOM, it says McConnell has a 96 percent chance of being reelected.
The truth is, we don't have very recent polling in Kentucky.
If you look at the polls on Real Clear Politics, you'll see the latest poll is nearly a month
old.
Yes, McConnell was leading by 12 then, but that was a month ago.
A lot has happened since then.
It could be six right now, within three weeks.
It could be less than six.
We just have no idea.
And it's a great race to get involved in.
And then briefly, just as a reminder, South Carolina incumbent Republican Senator Lindsey
Graham has a serious challenge from Democratic candidate Jamie Harrison.
Harrison has been raising ungodly amounts of money lately.
But the concern is how much of the money is from around the country rather than from voters
in South Carolina.
But the latest polls there are good for Harrison.
In the last month, the polls are a tie.
Lindsey Graham ahead by one and two more ties.
If you go beyond that, you're looking at polling from July.
Very important race.
I think Harrison has more of a shot than McGrath.
But both really key races that you can get yourself involved in.
Phone banking.
Door to door campaigning.
If you live in the states and you can do it safely, et cetera.
Get involved.
