KY-SEN: Amy McGrath in

[Rookie Yinzer]

Teresa Tomlinson and Cal Cunningham could use the money instead of her but Resistance Twitter is about to blow their load all over this race.

[Rookie Yinzer]

People are really about to waste millions on a rural, low educated, 90 percent white state while GA and TX sit on a treasure trove of affluent suburban white women, white progressives, Black, Asian, and Latino voters.

K.

The problem for Democrats is that this race won't be competitive and will siphon money from left-wing idiots that could go to actual races

That's not how donors work. Her average donation is something like $36, so mostly small donors. This isn't money that can be transferred to Georgia or North Carolina — it's people giving to a candidate (or, against a candidate) who they feel strongly about, in a way that they don't feel compelled to donate to random b-listers in Montana

That doesn’t make them any less gullible or this any less of a scam. If anything it shows how easy it is to scam people in America nowadays by playing off people’s emotions

Goes to show that even the most informed and dedicated activists can be swindled. Had one on my feed saying they will expand the electorate in Kentucky. Like.... expand to who? LOL. Other poor white folk who have racial resentment? Kentucky is a waste of time but go off.

I told y’all.... waste of time, energy, and resources

[Rookie Yinzer]

I really love this quote : ''Yarmuth said it is a waste of time for Kentucky Democrats to court Trump voters, who delivered the president a 30 percentage point victory in 2016. He said the better pathway to defeating McConnell is running up huge margins in urban centers, such as his district of Louisville, and other Democratic strongholds such as Lexington.''

Yeah that's still a double digit loss in this state. LOL.

Whew! Imagine donating all of your cold, hard cash to this race hoping to flip the Senate with a dud candidate and ignoring states that have sprawling metros with hordes of non-white people and white progressives eager to be mobilized and flip their respective states.

[Rookie Yinzer]

I genuinely don’t think he has the mental capacity to understand the difference. Either that or he’s trying WAYY too hard to save face over his previous assertions of Texas definitely NOT trending blue

If you ask me, it just sounds like he’d rather Democrats try to win homogeneous white areas over diverse ones, but whatever

He thinks 70 year old retired white factory workers who watch InfoWars are a more viable long term strategy than white progressives in Austin and Dallas, or low propensity black voters in Houston, or first time Latinx voters in Phoenix, or the burgeoning Asian electorate in Atlanta.

We must fight for people who will be dead in 10 years, in states that are becoming less and less electorally relevant (if they aren't already)

[Rookie Yinzer]

I’m sure the Resister Sisters will keep throwing money at her because NC, GA, and TX aren’t as “sexy” as getting Mitch McConnell out. Smh.

[Rookie Yinzer]

She’ll probably have a big fortune to spend because idiots keep on pumping money into a lost cause in some vain effort to beat bogeyman McConnell. She raised $2.5 million on the first day alone. Talk about money on fire

Imagine if that was spent in GA and NC where GOP are already trying to smear our people. Ugh.

[Rookie Yinzer]

McGrath needs to drop out and donate this money to the Democratic parties in NC, AZ, GA, and TX.

[Rookie Yinzer]

She's tweeting out delusions about how she is going to replicate Beshear's performance and get rid of Mitch, and she's raising a sh-t ton of money doing it. I hate her. LOL.

[Rookie Yinzer]

After all, Beto O'Rourke was criticized for diverting money to a "hopeless" senate race in Texas, but he ended up doing way better than people who "should" have gotten the money.

Texas is a fast growing state with half a dozen highly populated metropolises. The electorate there is also 41% non-white, with a burgeoning population of college ed white liberals. Not the same thing at all.

They are lobbing money at a poor, 85% white, rural state that abhors national Democrats. McGrath can NOT run away from national issues in this race and will lose no matter what.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Booker on the offensive.

Unlikely to happen, but it would honestly be hilarious to see McGrath break ActBlue records just to lose to Booker in the home stretch.

McGrath is awful.

[Rookie Yinzer]

If McGrath loses the primary, can she then donate her leftover money to other candidates and Democratic entities (like the DSCC)?

She could/should give it to the Kentucky Democratic Party and the state parties in TX, NC, & GA.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Me and Bernie agree

[Rookie Yinzer]

Lord help me, I'm going to start volunteering for a Berniecrat next week. They're both going to lose to Turtle but Booker is better and I want McGrath banished from politics.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Is someone scared?

Damn, McGrath must be toxic to actual Kentuckians.

[Rookie Yinzer]

I am heartened to see KY Dems rally around a Black candidate who is qualified, capable, and on paper without any biases... the better candidate. Far too many primaries I have seen state parties (especially in states with KY's demographics) rally around inadequate white candidates based off of nothing but the fear that anything else would scare the electorate.

McGrath is a terrible candidate with putrid consultants.

https://twitter.com/MediumBuying/status/1272879428205510656?s=20

She couldn't even acknowledge Breonna Taylor, a Kentuckian first responder murdered by the police while she was sleeping. SMH.

[Rookie Yinzer]

McGrath did everything she could to lose and still won (probably) while progressives prove how ineffective they are at winning big races yet again (though tbf this wasn’t seen as competitive until a couple weeks out)...

Booker would have won if not for the massive mail in voting happening before and during McGrath's collapse. Unlike most progressive socialists, Booker had strong Black support due to BLM & Breonna Taylor's murder.

[Rookie Yinzer]

It is pretty pathetic that McGrath couldn’t even break 50 with all that money she had. I hope she does worse than ALG so she can go away forever.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Good thing McGrath has her 40M dollars, she should coast on that until E-day and not drain funds from actual electable Senate candidates.

So are we gonna do the thing where we pretend that a progressive is somehow more electable than a centrist in a red state?

There's a thing called turnout, that a certain centrist in 2016 didn't get in red states in her general election. Nor in purple states either.
Labels are pointless - what matters is activating a solid base.

Clinton was seen as more radical between her and Trump among the general electorate. Stop spouting this lie that she was seen as centrist. The only people who think that are Twitter Bros who are out of touch with real people.
