Why would he even debate McGrath? Is he worried that he might win by less that 20?

Remember that he did debate his last opponent, and wound up crushing her. Perhaps he wants to repeat the same feat with this opponent.

Grimes was competitive until the last month.

Lincoln-Douglas in the same sentence as McConnell-McGrath is pure heresy.

McConnell needs to focus on the stimulus bill and passing it, or he will be in trouble for reelection but he is an obstructionist

Grimes was competitive until the last month.

Grimes shot herself in the foot with her refusal to just admit she voted for Obama in 2012.  Wouldn't have hurt her campaign because she was a Democrat, but her unwillingness to state the obvious just made voters sour on her candidacy.  A poor debate performance against Mitch + the GOP tsunami that built the last six or so weeks of the midterm cycle finished her off.

Due to the anti-Democratic environment of 2014, Allison Lundergan Grimes would have lost anyways.

Why are we obsessed with KY, it's going to McConnell, the QU poll that showed McConnell down by 5 and Graham tied has failed to show up again. Safe R

Probably so, but she could've lost by a more competitive margin rather than letting the race get away from her.  Looking back, she made a big error trying for this seat instead of just building up her state reputation some more and then challenging Rand Paul later.  Now she's just fallen off the political radar screen.

McGrath sucks and will lose, what else is new. Hopefully she retires with her bags of taxpayer pension money after this election. Maybe Kentuckyites will do the smart thing next time and nominate Booker who would have won in a normal year.

Probably not this year. He'd have done better than McGrift, but he doesn't have much of a record outside of Louisville and a KY Democrat who intends to win at the federal level needs to have an insane level of credibility with rural voters (not that a Louisville politician can't, but that usually means winning statewide first so that it's harder for McConnell to define one's candidacy). It includes not really being in favour of much gun control these days but Booker supported measures which would have driven too many of these single-issue voters away.

I meant win the nomination, but I agree with your points.

McGrath should have ran in KY-06 again, she may have won.

She would be a good Defense Secretary under Biden

Dems as I said before were never gonna beat more than 4 to 6 incumbent and AZ, CO, GA, IA, ME and NC was always their path to the majority and maybe KS. Bullock was a dark horse, but he got bogged down in a sex scandal

I doubt it. 2020 is a good year but not significantly better than 2018.

And since she'd most likely run it into the ground I'm all for it.

I wanted Booker too but there is no way a black guy wins in Kentucky. Especially not one with left policies like the GND.

McConnell and co would have a field day.

I meant he would have won the nomination, not the election, since he was surging but lost due to absentee votes before his surge. No, I don't think he would win but he would do better than McGrath imo, and actually shift the conversation in Kentucky better than five months of "former fighter pilot who loves Trump" bs.

MS is safe R, but the McGrath bucks might have changed that (and a whole host of other downballot races).

Mississippi is too racially polarized and that won't change no matter how much money Democrats spend. If I could decide where to send McGrath's money that'd be Texas.

Kentucky will now get a whole lot of attention and the polls will tighten some as McGrath and the Dems hammer Mitch on his hypocrisy, but ultimately Mitch will still win by close to 10 points.
