Beshear or Mitch?

I don't live in KY but I will support their opponents financially as best I can. Beshear is up for re-election I believe in 2022 which bodes well for us. As for Mitch he's not up for re-election until 2026 and he'll be like 87 years old.

I don't support him in leadership but I also don't see any value to having a bloodbath right now. We can wait until 2022 or certainly 2024 or really whenever we get the Senate majority back we just pick a different guy as the leader. Unfortunately this is something the Senators themselves vote on and we don't have any real input on but Trump's influence and perhaps presence on the ballot in 2024 should hold a considerable amount of sway I'd think.

Worked for who? Was I supposed to support the Democrat against McConnell? The guy has insulated himself to a degree in party leadership for the moment. It won't last but he is hoping to outlast Trump.

Ultimately the important thing isn't who Kentucky selects as their Senators its about party leadership in the Senate not being weak. Mitch also isn't a Murkowski or Flake level turncoat he's just a wishy washy old man who doesn't know how to go to for the jugular when it counts.

He's basically the Marty Schottenheimer of politics. He can manage the defense okay but when our team is ahead he's basically worthless because he's too timid and cautious.
