Berg was maybe a poor candidate, but he wasn't hated, like Mcconnell is.
However, Mcconnell is definitely what we can say a political killer, and I believe like you ALG will be nuked.
I disagree. The more he goes negative, the more his own negatives go. ALG has real Teflon potential IMHO. She's no Dan Mongiardo.
McConnell's approval sits at 27% and there's no way he can do much worse than that. A lot of Republicans who are angered with McConnell and who will vote for Bevin will just end up biting their tongue as usual and vote for McConnell over Grimes. The ceiling for Grimes is the mid-40s and I mean she will really have to convince those undecided moderate voters that McConnell isn't in line with the values of Kentucky anymore and need new officials. Defeating a Senate Minority Leader is by no means easy and Thune, a Republican,
barely did it against Daschle in a Republican friendly state like South Dakota. The last time a Republican incumbent Senator lost their seat to a Democrat in a state that went to the Republican two years prior in the Presidential was Faircloth falling to Edwards in 1998, so unless Bevin pulls an upset on McConnell, I don't see Grimes winning this thing.
In less serious news,
here's a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very creepy ad by Team Mitch McConnell's official YT page. I think this gives McConnell's Harlem Shake and "What Rhymes with ALG?" ads a run for their money on worst and creepiest ads so far.
To give him credit though, his
"Care" ad wasn't all that bad, actually.
