Koch-backed group launches ad campaign to support four vulnerable GOP senators (Note who's missing).

[RandySF]

he political arm for the network of groups led by Charles Koch is putting more than $1 million behind new ads running in Texas, Montana, Georgia and North Carolina to support vulnerable GOP senators.

Americans for Prosperity is putting seven figures behind positive ads supporting Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Steve Daines (R-Mt.), David Perdue (R-Ga.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), praising their efforts to cut taxes and reduce regulations.

“Americans are resilient and capable of extraordinary things. As individuals and businesses across our country begin to rebuild and recover, we know that we can count on John Cornyn, Steve Daines, David Perdue, and Thom Tillis to continue their work to promote opportunity for all Americans,” AFP Action senior advisor Tim Phillips.

1. Some who are missing?

Susan Collins
Martha McSally
Cory Gardner

It seems noteworthy that Cornyn is considered vulnerable.

6. I'm hearing faint rumblings that MoscowMitch might be in trouble......

His approval numbers are extremely low for somebody running for re-election. But he does have container-shiploads of black money. And the state is horribly blood-red............

Hope springs eternal, And I'm donating every dime I can to McGrath.

7. I think Amy has caught up with in the polls? just a day or two ago, But details are fuzzy right now

8. Amy McGrath Takes Narrow Lead Over Mitch McConnell in Kentucky Senate Race, Poll Shows

https://www.newsweek.com/amy-mcgrath-takes-narrow-lead-over-mitch-mcconnell-kentucky-senate-race-poll-shows-1509691

Democratic senatorial candidate Amy McGrath appears to have a very narrow lead over Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky's race, according to a recent poll.

The polling, which was conducted by RMG Group, shows McGrath, a former Marine fighter pilot, with the support of 41 percent of voters, while McConnell is backed by 40 percent. However, the polling also showed that when voters are informed that McGrath supports congressional term limits while McConnell does not, her lead over the Republican jumps significantly.

With the candidates' positions on term limits factored in, McGrath was backed by 45 percent of respondents, while McConnell was supported by just 30 percent. But 17 percent of those surveyed were still undecided, and 8 percent said they'd vote for a different candidate.

2. The all important 4th Dem pickup!!

Each one would represent the all important 4th Dem pickup!!

However, I did notice Amy is within the margin of error and even ahead in a recent poll!! Now that would be Champagne worthy!!!!

3. Mcsally left off is a foregone conclusion considering who she's up against

Even her party is giving up on that fight.

5. Mitch steers a giant cruise ship-size load of Dark Money from Russian,

Chinese, and of course American kleptocrats and governments.

9. For those not aware:

The Payback Project is targeting nine or more of the most vulnerable and obnoxious GOPher senators who opposed Shitgibbon's impeachment--Collins, McSilly, Graham, Loeffler, Ernst, Tillis, McTurdle are among their targets. I've been donating some $$ to them, and would like to encourage other DUers to do so. Anything (and this year, EVERYTHING!) for the cause!
