Last time I was in Mitch's DC office, he had this prominently displayed...
Kentucky Senate Race
- Thread starter kybobcat_rivals185207
- Start date
Matt "Mouth" Jones is nothing but a glory *****, who's milking this talk of him running for the U.S. Senate for all he can get out of it. He said after the governor's race that he would announce if he's running or not. Well it's after the governor's race. What's he waiting on. I've said all along that this big, clown has no more intentions of running against Mitch McConnell than I do. Several years back he starting running his mouth about running against Andy Barr for a seat in the U.S.House. But when it came time for the "Mouth" to put up or shut up. The "Mouth" didn't run. Personally I hope he does run & I hope he gets the democrat nomination. So we can all watch McConnell beat him like a drum.
Funny thing about the TV show that "Mouth"Jones was on. He was on there ripping on Mitch McConnell 5 night a week, week after week, month after month this went on. That was fine no problem there. But the 1st time he said one negative thing about liberal, Amy McGrath, he's off the air. Is there any doubt why people has so little respect for the media.
National politics and state politics are two different beasts. I can write a whole laundry list of things he could do at the National level that he couldn't do at the state level. On the business side of things I've heard Matt speak enough to know he knows that the most important thing is in the state of Kentucky at this point is jobs. IMO he would never do anything to drive jobs out of the state and would in fact do whatever it took to bring jobs to the entire state not just to Lexington and Louisville.
-friendly reminder that sports ain't real life. If you vote for a candidate due to shared rooting interest...you are a child.
The whole ordeal is orchestrated. Jones and the Democrats knew MCconnell would do this, because it is the law. The only chance Mcgrath has whatsoever, is if people vote against McConnell instead of for McGrath.
Jones is popular, Make it appear McConnell had him kicked off the radio, even though it's Jones' own doing and she might have a shot.

I think this is Mitch letting him know his sophomoric cap won't work on this level.
Jones is using his radio, TV, and soon book positions to further himself. I rarely listen due to work and not caring, but I was travelling yesterday and did. He made it clear he would talk politics, didn't care that no one likes it. His yes men all agreed as usual. He gave his liberal rah-rah for Bevin losing, then tried to shut down callers who wanted to talk politics.
Then today he is going on about the unfairness and woe is me. Time to put his big boy pants on and get in the game or admit its over his head.
When he announced what had happened you could hear the shock in his voice, but if you want to dance, you gotta pay the piper.
He has now had the Dems and Reps run him off his media shows.

If only someone would have warned Matt Jones to keep the politics out of his show
Matt Jones is a typical dishonorable democrat who ignores the rule of law, except when it furthers his agenda.
He's counting on the ignorance and blind adoration of his audience to gain popular support, knowing most are idiots who are swayed only by FEELINGS, the law be dammed.
He's not above the law, so he shamelessly paints himself as a VICTIM and you little whiners fall right in line. He's playing you for a FOOL and you DGAF.

This is a perfect setup for Jones. He breaks the rules that most people dont know or understand, gets called on it by BOTH parties, then uses people's ignorance to claim victim status. Liberals LOVE to be fake victims...

I quit listening to KSR about 2 years ago. When they were not talking politics, they were talking about wrestling, tv shows, or their bar. Everything except UK sports and that was why I was supposedly tuned in to them.
He always says don't punch down but then retweets anything that is said to him so his minions will attack. :chairshot:
I think his approach to his audience changed a while back. Whether taught by Finebaum or realizing that every UK fan is a potential voter, I think snarky hyper defensive Matt mellowed on the show and on social media. He used to fight with everyone and often got silly.
I think Mitch wants to stir the pot. I also think he wants Jones to run. I don’t think Jones will run. I think Jones wants to make money and get attention.
I’m in the camp that thinks a socialist can be disastrous wherever they are. I’d prefer that they hold no positions of power.
It shot itself in the back of the head. Twice.
The body was found in Fort Marcy Park. [winking]
This will be Matt's best chance to knock off Mitch. Turnout in 2018 and 2019 on the Dem side has been off the charts.
Run up the scores in Fayette and Jefferson...
Andy winning did not help Matt in terms of walking away from running.

I hope you are correct about that, but history hasn't proven that to be the case. He could expand free healthcare, implement tax policies unfavorable to business, expand and create new social programs, etc. The laundry list of socialist policies he could implement in Kentucky is pretty huge. Look at the Democratic parties history in the state is all you have to do to realize why we rank so low in many categories. He believes the same things that past democrats believe. I see no reason he wouldn't resort to the same type of policies. I've heard him discuss economics enough to know he doesn't understand it at all.
I hope Matt does run, because he can't win. Why would anyone vote for a guy to be a US Senator, when he can't change the oil in his car?
Bevin was also unpopular with Louisville fans, as is Jones. Jones may not get the turnout in Louisville, and he would need every bit as much as Beshear. Trump wasn't on the ticket this year, he will be next year.
Personally I don't toe the line for any one party. My views on most things tend to lean conservative but I know social welfare programs are something that are necessary in some cases and in some states. For instance Obamacare. Kentucky is a very poor state. You take Obamacare away and most medical services would dry up in rural areas.
Looking at my Twitter feed I can see why. Drew Franklin, Nick Roush, Tyler Thompson and his regular callers like Fake Barney, Fake David Beckham and others must have tweeted with that hash tag about 50 times each.
There are similarities between Jones and Trump. Both are celebrities (different scales, obviously) and totally unafraid to say anything they want publicly. Some call that "unvarnished" and like it. And, both have mastered the use of Twitter. Amy McGrath may (at least for now) have the Dem machine behind her but she is a nobody when compared to Jones and does not have nearly the "reach" he has on social media alone. Now I doubt he can beat McConnell, but he can definitely be the Dem nominee IMO.
Could Jones raise enough money to get through a primary against McGrath? Is there any possible way the Dem political machine would let Matt run in the primary?
I will be floored if Matt actually runs. Just ain’t happening. Meanwhile, UL Card fan Mitch McConnell makes a lot of UL fans happy by shutting Matt up for a while. LOL
It takes a lot more than a few people tweeting it over and over again to become #1 topic worldwide.
I agree with you. I don't think the Dem party let's Jones into it. He would have a nearly impossible time going at it alone.
I am a Republican through and through but was happy as hell to see POS Bevin ousted and would love to see McConnell hit the road. Even with how hated he is I don't think Mcgrath is the person to do it. She does not generate much excitement.
Not trying to be argumentative, but those medical services existed before Obamacare, and would continue to be needed and exist if it went away. Basically, you seem to be saying that you favor socialism in poor states but not in wealthier areas. To me that doesn't make sense as socialism in poor states raises the tax burden and makes it more difficult to attract industry. These policies are the very policies that have made Kentucky a poor state to begin with. It has never had leadership that is pro business until recently. You can't really provide free social programs to a significant amount of the population and have tax policies that attract business. The two just don't go together. But healthcare isn't the only place a socialist governor could really derail our economy.
I don't really understand this. I could understand it if Bevin was replaced in the Republican Primary with a different candidate that went on to win the general election, but I can't understand why a republican would ever be glad to see someone who disagrees with what they believe in win an election. Bevin said a lot of offensive things, but he has been a pretty successful governor with respect to policy and attracting business to the state.
Why would anyone vote for a President who claimed troops took over the airstrips in the Revolutionary War? You really think a son of a ***** that stupid could change oil in his car?
How do you think those medical services get paid? Let me help you out with that answer......health insurance. You may or may not have noticed that a large part of the state has been decimated by the loss of coal. Along with the loss of coal came the loss of jobs. Along with the loss of jobs came the loss of medical insurance. The healthcare industry is the largest employer in some counties in Kentucky. You just can't take Republican talking points and blanket them over on ever state, ever county and ever community. Economics is a little more complicated than that.
