With McGrath's terrible gaffes and McConnell's terrible optics, Kentucky looks like it's heading for a dumpster fire election. It would be a good thing for the state and country if both lost their primaries imo.

Certainly possible we see other Dems express interest here now.

McGrath vs. Adkins vs. Booker could wind up looking a lot like Beshear vs. Adkins vs. Edelen.

Starting to see a lot of activity regarding Mike Broihier.

Will be interesting to see how this primary plays out.

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.

The Democratic nominee against McConnell will have absolutely zero trouble raising significant money, and the national Dems know that. They're wary of swapping in Booker for other reasons.

I have some ideas, but what do you think those reasons are?

The national party will support the candidate using more moderate rhetoric 99 times out of 100 regardless of their actual platforms, due to both perceptions about electability and the belief that vocal progressive candidates will cause headaches for party leadership if they are elected. I'm sure there's also some quiet worry that Booker as a Black Democrat in 2020 has limited appeal in Kentucky.

I see you guys ignored the example of KS02, which I think is the most relevant example of what a hypothetical KY-06 election with Gray would have looked like. Davis kept his margin from 2014 in Lawrence, but lost ground everywhere else, leading to a close loss.

Not a perfect example, federal vs. state race. Jim Gray performing as well as he did in KY-06 (and he performed well) despite no aid from the national party and probably being hurt by the top of the ticket more than he was helped. No question he was formidable and an incredibly well-defined entity in the district.

McGrath also (in)famously refused to run negative ads against Barr, hard to imagine Gray doing the same.

McConnell challenges McGrath to 'socially distanced, Lincoln-Douglas style' debate
