Kentucky Democrat Amy McGrath Announces 2020 Challenge to McConnell

[edpc]

Kentucky Democrat Amy McGrath on Tuesday announced that she will run to unseat Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell in 2020.

The former Marine fighter pilot and mother of three, who lost her 2018 bid to defeat Republican representative Andy Barr, made her announcement in a video message posted to Twitter.

McGrath says in the video that she wrote a letter when she was 13 to McConnell, her senator, telling him she wanted to fly fighter jets in combat.

“He never wrote back,” McGrath says in the video. “I’ve often wondered, how many other people did Mitch McConnell never take the time to write back or even think about.”

Proof that no one should be allowed to major in political sciences while attending a military academy on the taxpayer's dime.

McGrath winning would be a huge victory for the DEMS.  It's certainly a possibility.

IMO, it’s only possible, if something substantial grows out of a scandal involving his wife.

Well, I hope the people here who hate Mitch let the people of Kentucky make the decision.

I'm just wondering how such a leftist nutjob lands a career in the US Marines.

No one would like to see Mr. Chao gone more than myself but voting for a lunatic Democrat isn't the way to do it.

I'm wondering how so many US Marines wind up becoming leftist nutjobs.

Looks like Team Mitch moves quickly....

Well, it's not like the media is constantly telling us about all of them that don't.

It's like how suddenly there was all this extreme weather -- about the same time as we got national weather channels and the internet became popular.

On Sunday President Donald Trump raised new questions on the political fate of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis when he told ’60 Minutes’ journalist Lesley Stahl that he thinks the career military officer may be “some sort of Democrat."

Also, he had Flynn on his campaign and briefly in his admin. Though he was career Army, he comes from generations of Dems.

I don't ask.  I don't tell.
