I met with him last year, and he’s very impressive, but as I‘ve said before, don’t support candidates for emotional reasons, especially hatred of the opponent. As much as you hate Paul, there’s no data to suggest that KY voters do. Cook, Sabato and Gonzales all rate this as “Safe R”. Your money is better spent in NC, PA, WI and In protecting GA. AZ and NH.
