Folks, we've GOT to get the Senate!

[elleng]

Obviously in addition to the WH.

Without the Senate, we're seriously handicapped, as is obvious now.

[samnsara]

1. i agree....more than anything thats what we have to win..

..trump can be neutered if he wins a second term..

[vlyons]

2. McConnell must be target #1 to defeat

Do the Dems have a good candidate to run against him?

[Funtatlaguy]

5. We should find a popular sports figure from UK or UofL.

[elleng]

7. Right!

Thought we had a good candidate last time, but she didn't make it.

I'm sure we're not the only ones with these thoughts, but laying a FIRM foundation for removing him should begin NOW!

12. Getting the states with democrat majorities in the legislature to pass a bill so that no

presidential candidate can get on that state's ballot without submitting 10 years of tax returns is a start.

[HuskyOffset]

14. What kind of majorities?

I think "democratic" is the adjective you're looking for. "Democrat" is a noun.

[fescuerescue]

19. The SC will would probably strike that down

Setting constitutional requirements for Presidency is the role of Federal, not State governments.

While I'm sure that State governments will put in qualifying language stating that its only for ballot access, that's a smoke screen that the SC will wipe away.

It's probably why none of the 50 states have passed such a law yet.

[OhNo-Really]

13. we need to win more House members too for a 2/3 majority

[Miigwech]

17. Yes, but he has the biggest political machine in Kentucky

... he will bamboozle the uninformed voters and there are plenty there. In order to do this the political fight needs to begin now. Little nibbles, big bites ... take this fascist out of office. DNC, lets roll!

[Poiuyt]

18. Mitch McConnell only has 33% approval with Kentucky voters

His reelection is not a sure thing. I've even heard that he might just retire.

[Miigwech]

20. Yes, I know this. The turtle has submerged

for now ... but watch him change that, like I said, big political machine ... don't be lulled into compliance

[Fritz Walter]

21. Ditch Mitch is real

There’s an organization that is actively drumming up support to send Yertle McTurtle back to Kentucky. Use your Internet search engine to find “Ditch Mitch” for more info.

And — for the record — I’m an expatriated Kentuckian, who (sadly) remembers this POS when he was an almost decent county-judge-executive in Jefferson County (Louisville). Almost. Don’t ask about his campaign against incumbent Democrat Dee Huddleston.

There may be an opponent who can put this turtle back on the fence post: Amy McGrath, a Marine, who has served honorably— as opposed to the so-called Senate leader who managed to dodge service to our country in uniform.

Whether Marine McGrath chooses to oppose Yertle in 2020, or if the KY Democratic Party chooses a different candidate, we must rally our support to Ditch Mitch!

[watoos]

3. No kidding.

They are packing the courts with Nazis.

[lunatica]

4. Oh yes!

It’s possible and can be done.

A clean sweep is in order!

[TruckFump]

6. Well, looks like AZ may go Dem

Kelly should take it, IMO.

[elleng]

8. Great! I was hoping,

but e.mails I receive from him sound kind of down/panicky. I hope I'm misreading.

[Tiggeroshii]

9. once we get both

we need to brIng in all of the territories for statehood (and dc)to finally give us some balance.

[elleng]

10. Would be good.

[colsohlibgal]

11. Unlikely But Hopefully We Do

Dems are not only shafted with the Electoral College, they are shafted by the Senate. States like Wyoming, with the population of a large City get 2 Senators the same as densely populated States like New York, California, etc.

[oldsoftie]

15. I think the '20 races would favor the Dems, right? Based on who is having to run?

[INdemo]

16. We have to maintain the House and anyone can guess what the Repuke

strategy will be. Putin will be very busy
