I still think Rocky Adkins would've made this an interesting race (and Dems should still consider him for 2022). And recruiting to go against Mitch was hard BUT when the state Dems had to pick someone who couldn't beat Andy Barr in the 6th in a blue wave year that's just sad and pathetic.
Not in this kind of national environment. They shouldn't waste him on a Democratic midterm race either, unless he's running for local office. After seeing what happened to Bullock, do you still think there's a path for Adkins to beat Rand Paul in a 2022 Democratic midterm? I just don't see any level of candidate quality overcoming the national environment there.
