when he refused to confirm President Obama's Court nominee in 2016 because the election was too close.for giving more money to his opponent: former Marine pilot Amy McGrath. As a Kentuckian, and a progressive, I share the desire to push back against McConnell. But there are better ways to prevent him from being Majority Leader come January than pouring tens of millions of dollars into McGrath's campaign — which is almost certainly doomed to fail.
To be clear: this isn't disqualifying. Her opponent, Republican six-term incumbent, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, has similarly raised more than 90% of his campaign funds from out of state. Both campaigns recently reported having more than $16 million cash on hand. And in a state with cheap media markets, neither one needs much more for the remaining five weeks between now and the election.

ZachariahSippy Donate to Barbara Bollier’s campaign in Kansas. She has a real chance of flipping a Republican seat. McConnell is so worried that his PAC is spending big in Kansas on ads.
ZachariahSippy McConnell is the reason the rest of the country thinks Ky is stupid
