(34 posts)5. She had a rough start of the campaign but I'm still donating
she definitely stumbled out of the gate, implying that she would help get DT's initiatives passed and she would have voted yes on Kavanaugh, which she later backtracked, but she's still better than cocaine mitch. Amy is trying hard to paint herself as an outsider, like DT, and may be hitching her wagon to his popularity.
There's another D that needs to throw his hat in the ring who I think has a better shot than McGrath. It's probably tough for him to leave his sports broadcasting gig but he's a big name in the state with a populist draw.
But everyone should temper expectations, Mitch will win by 15+.
