Three Quinnipiac Senate polls out yesterday featuring Republican incumbents

Kentucky Senate - McConnell vs. McGrath: McConnell 53, McGrath 41

Maine Senate - Collins vs. Gideon: Gideon 54, Collins 42

South Carolina Senate - Graham vs. Harrison: Graham 48, Harrison 48

https://poll.qu.edu/kentucky/release-detail?ReleaseID=3673

So here's my take. Collins is done. There's no way she's going to come back from being 12 points behind. Seems like Mitch will win too, he's up by 12. As for SC, it's an exact tie. I'd still put it as leaning Graham because Trump is up in that state. I just don't see Republicans voting for Trump and then voting for Harrison. None of them are staying home either.

And even if Mitch wins we need to hamstring the asshole.

Simple tv/internet spot

Mitch knew about Trump and Russia. Mitch sold out Kentucky and America.

I’d be more inclined to help Harrison in SC if possible. I don’t have a problem with helping McGrath, but you don’t want to throw away valuable resources at a race that just isn’t going to be won.

Mitch is not losing. Best to put the money into close races like NC and SC.

If he thinks the repubs are going to work with him because he has some history with some of them, he's wrong. They are not that party anymore. If they hold the senate, McConnell will stop all judicial nominations just like he did with Obama. He will hold up all legislation just like he's doing now. We need laws put in place that don't allow this kind of obstructionist shit, but we'll never get it without the House and the Senate.
