The GOP doesn't play by the rules, so why should we?

He is up for re-election this year. Then we can work on McConnell.

It would be totally awesome if Kentucky ended up with 2 DEM Senators.....wishful thinking I know!

If the Democrats can somehow find a way to take control of the Senate Trump and Turtle will be shut down for 2 years. Hope we are willing to put some resources into Arizona,Tenn and Miss because I think all three are doable and maybe even Texas too.
