Interesting.

Do I donate directly to Amy McGrath, or do I give my money to a Republican organization that is going to help her win Kentucky.

Opinions?

Also, I think the Lincoln Project has already pulled in a lot of donations.

He is worse than Trump in that he is much smarter and manipulative than Trump.

By the way, the sponsors of these ads, The Lincoln Project, is made up of former prominent Republicans including Rick Wilson, George Conway and Steve Schmidt.

It's another weirdness of the Era of Trump that some of our allies against him used to be our fiercest enemies.

'friends' need to be thrown out of office after failing to meet a list or criteria for succeeding in office, e.g., get unemployment roles down by 10% of Kentuckians (and increase pay of all Kentuckians by 10% etc.).

What's really bad about this is that these people skip and dance all across the floor at a barn dance w/o doing a damn thing it seems. Basically they are in office to enrich themselves, seemingly.

I hope that the fighter pilot lady gets this scumbag out of office. She deserves it more than Moscow Mitch.

I remember the feeling of disbelief when he was first elected. Have yet to encounter a single person who is actually in favor of Moscow Mitch, yet he keeps getting elected.

He is so smarmy and despicable. I just sent a healthy contribution to Amy, hope she wins!
