Funny, I'd ask the same question of her. WhiskeyGrinder Aug 2019 #3
Why would you ask her which side she's on? I am only curious, nothing more. n/t CaliforniaPeggy Aug 2019 #4

She really nails him.

Of course, he doesn't care. His money mostly comes from outside Kentucky. He is used to using the blackest tactics to slur his opponent. And they usually work.

and Kentuckians voted for Trump to drain the swamp, so McConnell needs to go. My tent is pretty big, but not that big.

I thought I’d send some money to her campaign. But the site wanted all your personal info (I know they need most of it to charge my CC) but I didn’t want to give them my email & cell phone. I don’t mind the email, probably use that to send a receipt. But I already get too many unwanted texts and emails.

For me this ad really highlights how naive a great deal of our country is. Why would these guys think they could get on a bus a go to Washington and get quality face time with Moscow Mitch? It's a great story that shows how little empathy he had. We'll have to see how it plays. My guess is that you are going to have to be willing to run a pretty nasty campaign to beat him.
