Don’t believe it either. I think it’s media conditioning

But we all both believe McConnell needs to be voted out of office in 2020 right?

It is crucial that the Democratic Party win votes in Kentucky. Maybe it would be productive to get the word out to Kentuckians about how we can make their lives better! A lot of people voted for Trump because they were tired of being poor and angry about their lack of life chances.
