Yeah Paul made the silliest of comments saying that Teens particularly Afro Americans would quite HS to take a 15.00 and Housing costs aren't keeping up with inflation and the Minimum wage is in incriminates

Paul deserves to lose by Booker

[Arizona Iced Tea]

Safe R, but it would be interesting to see a progressive run against a libertarian.

[Canis]

I wish someone would contribute the 2020 Kentucky senate democratic primary map to atlas with Booker in. Bookers one of my favorite rising democratic stars this race is 100% safe R though sadly Booker should run for house eventually if the seat he's in opens up.

Booker's delusional, no surprises here.

He's probably grifting. I doubt he seriously thinks he has a chance against Paul whatsoever. Atleast McGrath had a slim chance at first.

She really didn't.

Not this again.

[Terlylane]

Booker is a terrible candidate. Can’t wait to see him lose the primary again.

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

I hope he wins, but it’ll take a miracle. Kentucky isn’t ruby red, but there’s still a loooooong way to go for him

Not everyone running in a safe-seat is grifting. People who run primarly social-media focused campagins based on outraging the base to get donations which they launder to themselves are grifting. Running in a no-hope race isn't grifting unless you think everything should be left uncontested if it isn't competive.

[One Term Floridian]

Kenf**ky grifters back at it again!! Can’t wait to see coastal funds going there instead of states like WI, NC & PA next year

Of course, there's some nuance that Atlas is conveniently forgetting here (& I say "conveniently" because Atlas' general consensus a year ago was pretty solidly behind Booker in his campaign against McGrath for the nomination, & certainly not painting both of them as being grifters), & that is that McGrath was never really all that chummy with the KY Democratic establishment to begin with, as opposed to Booker, who'd basically managed to lock up all of its support last year despite some major ideological differences therein (i.e., more liberal urbanites & more moderate - if not conservadem - folks in Appalachia). Remember: Booker is a veteran of the KY House, whereas McGrath isn't an elected official & basically just got lucky in popping up onto the scene from out of nowhere with Schumer's support after having contested a surprisingly marginal House seat back in the Blue Wave of 2018. In that light, has it occurred to anybody that the KY Democratic establishment which actually knows Booker was probably confident that Booker wouldn't be a grift a-la McGrath but would actually put any funds which he raises to the good use of the KY Democratic Party by using it to help build their capacities to mobilize voters, recruit candidates, train activists, provide campaign services, & raise funds. Y'know: party-building, that thing that very lonely minority-status parties such as the KY Democratic Party are desperately in a perpetual need for.

Seriously, if you think that Booker is just here to be a giant grift like McGrath, then you just haven't been paying attention.

[UWS]

Booker has no chance to win in a dark red state like Kentucky, especially as Rand Paul is more popular than Mitch McConnell. And Booker’s positions are too socialist for KY and are so close to Bernie Sanders, especially Booker’s support to the Green New Deal and supports socialized medicine.

He's not wrong, but you're exactly right about his electoral prospects. I think Paul could break 60% against him, as I'm sure Booker will do worse than both Gray and McGrath in Kentucky's rural areas. A black progressive Democrat is exactly the kind of candidate who would turn off Trumpists and Republican voters.

One of the best candidates in any state in the country. He deserves to be in the US Senate and I'm going to do what I can to try and help him win. It's an uphill battle but I believe in this man. I hope Kentucky will too!

Let me be excited

I really wish a well funded third party would run in this race because as it stands, this is going to be a race of extreme right and left that's going to leave a LOT of people in the middle unhappy with their choices.

I wish Rocky Adkins would give this race a go, but that's not going to happen.

Democratic party is just begging to get whipped here. Rand may get north of 70%.

He won't do that well, but I wouldn't be surprised if Paul overperforms McConnell and approaches Trump's numbers in the state (~62% or so) against Booker next year.

[Sir Mohamed]

Safe R, nothing to see here.

[Suburbia]

Safe R. Rocky Adkins or Morgan McGarvey would have made it Lean R

You do realize that Kentucky isn't West Virginia.
