I just got this email from Amy McGrath, who's running against MoscowMitch:

A Democrat just defeated one of the most unpopular Republicans in the country in a statewide election in Kentucky. Congratulations to our next governor, Andy Beshear, and our next lieutenant governor, Jacqueline Coleman!

Here’s the part that should keep Mitch McConnell and his cronies up at night: Andy Beshear flipped counties that Donald Trump won by double digits in 2016. He won in coal country. He won in places Democrats aren’t “supposed” to win.

All I have to say is: Mitch, you’re next.

there... fixed it. That said, I hope Amy McGrath brings her A game to this fight. Moscow Mitch will not go quietly. Further, I think he would do anything to win.

in the urban counties were phenomenal. He kicked serious butt in Jefferson and Fayette which Hillary won but not by the margins we are seeing tonight. I hope Amy has the ground game and GOTV that Beshear had. If she does, she can kill the turtle
