Are we talking Stockholm syndrome?
Is this about intense self-loathing? Do his constituents hate America, (no, not his REAL constituents getting richer)?
Masochism? Whip me, beat me, hurt me Mitch!!!

(10,726 posts)I always say this, but he's hurting his own KY citizens. There have to be citizens voting for him whom he's literally killing. I don't understand. It's infuriating to me. What has to happen?

I guess it's the devil you know or something.

However, I do not think it is hopeless. After the Democratic Convention into September, that is when I will start paying more attention to the polls
Also, no one should assume the General Election is a sure thing either

(627 posts)It may be that McGrath will bring out many voters who were not polled here -- who were not deemed likely voters.

(29,322 posts)Maybe neither candidate can win but I think Booker brought a better argument than McConnell is preventing Trump from making America great again.
In Campaign Launch, Amy McGrath Accuses McConnell Of Blocking Trump
(Snip)
In an interview on MSNBCs Morning Joe, McGrath said that Kentuckians voted in favor of Trump during the 2016 election because they wanted to drain the swamp, and because he promised to bring back jobs and lower drug prices.
Who stops the president from doing these things? Well, Mitch McConnell. And I think thats really important and thats going to be my message. That the things Kentuckians voted for Trump for are not being done. Hes not able to get it done because of Sen. McConnell, McGrath said.

(43,491 posts)better chance v Moscow Mitch.
This was the only poll that included Booker near the election, and it is not a highly rated one, but here it is.
Moscow seems fairly stable, FFS!!! 52 to 55%, SMDH

The collective really does seem to enjoy self-abuse and don't seem to care how millionaire moscow mitch (and his chinese shipping magnet second wife that happens to sit on the fucking cabinet) 'represents' them.
