OT: Our guy running for office

Hal has been a godsend to many in this state. The sad part it is some of it hasnt been taken advantage of...
I’m just saying: the guy has a massive ego. We know, in all probability, he’s a “vanity searcher”
Congress ONLY hasn't been working like the public wants since Trump was elected? Did I read that right? Really?
I'm not so sure about this. Can you actually provide any examples other than...

Ran out of time...
I don't think he meant that, just that they were mired in a dysfunctional standoff with the previous president, who was of the opposite party. Now that Republicans control all three branches, we shouldn't expect the same lack of productivity.
Complete waste of time. Kentucky has become possibly the most conservative state in the country. If Hitler was on the Republican ticket he’d beat the most popular Democrat in a statewide election.
If he wants to get into politics then he needs to go back to the original plan of running against Barr.

No way he could beat Jim Gray in the primary for the 6th District. Not sure Barr will hold that seat.
He might want to live in the district if he wants to represent it.
Presidents need 60 votes in the senate to get anything done. We have become so partisan that this won't happen for most things a president wants.
Straight white males took colonies located in the wilderness of North America, built the greatest and wealthiest nation in the history of the world. A nation that helped win two world wars, liberated jews from prison camps, mixed the races and even had time to put a man on the moon. The next time you get out of your liberal Ivy Tower, look around at what the white straight male built. It is called civilization.
TBF, they might have not been all straight. Or white. We straight white males did have the whole slavery thing to help us.
help us do what exactly? so slavery helped win 2 world wars and helped to send man to the moon? please don't be another stupid
They helped us build our nation which would go on to do great things, including freeing those slaves later. That's not exactly a controversial take. It isn't meant to discount the contributions of any race or sexual orientation, including our own. We just occasionally subjugated entire races of people in order to maintain our position of power.
Yeah I realize that...but it's still his position and probably doesn't play well with most KY voters
Jones isn't a career politician, tells it like it is, has built a successful business, and has weird hair. If he can dig up a history of sexual assaults he'll win easy.
I wouldn't vote for Mitch to water my lawn and I'm not too big on Jones. I'll either abstain or vote against Mitch.
EDIT: I'll vote for any candidate in any party who will legalize pot. Sooooo, I'll probably never vote Republican because those people hate anything fun that doesn't involve pulling a trigger.

You mean the ones the Africans sold? Those slaves? Slavery has a history with all races of men. White, black, American Indians, Muslims, Asians.
You do know blacks owned black slaves in America don't you? You do know the American Indians owned black slaves don't you?
I'm just not a fan of claiming all of America's accomplishments as products of the sweat and blood of the white race while at the same time owning up to none of our faults.
Makes things happen for KY? Like what exactly? One of the poorest, unhealthiest, least educated states in the country and Mitch has done little to improve that. But he's improved his net worth immensely.
I think you mean he makes things happen for his wealthy donors. He is good at avoiding talking about actual policies and just tying Dems to Nancy Pelosi. That's his playbook and it works. If he had to actually talk about issues and defend his record, he'd be toast.
I provided a list a few posts back but ok...
The only way to keep being reelected is to help your state and those donors in your state. Mitch has done a very nice job of keeping those donors and if you had actually looked at my previous post or taken the time to actually view current rankings you will see KY has improved.
I'm not here to advocate the man but for KY to maintain the valuable position it currently has and like I have stated many times... regardless of party affiliation. Your post appears to be much more emotion than actual comprehension.
To each his own. I'd vote for Mitch if he was a Dem, but I am a business owner and I totally understand the value that his position can bring to business and employees, just the same as Hal Rodgers has in the years he headed the appropriations committee.

Did you see the Mitch people tweet at Matt yesterday?
Matt responded with anger...even though they weren't particularly rude to him at all. Matt is gonna stick his foot in his mouth more often than not because he is just too thin skinned. I mean this whole hate of Mitch comes from Mitch coming on KSR and making Matt look bad.
I see him being a liberal Ted Cruz in where he just whines and moans in Washington and doesn't build consensus...he will just get angry. He needs to stay where he's at and make those Louisville fans scream.

That seems to work in politics now. I don't need to give examples, I'm sure.
If he has had sex money and/or assault was definitely involved. And likely a hole in rest stop stall.
I'm Republican, but Turtle is g'damn awful...plus I don't believe in career politicians Mitch doesn't give a **** about anyone in this state.
Matt Jones let Marc freaking Maggard troll the **** out of him and own him on a regular basis. how the hell is going to handle big boy politics?
though Matty did make his current living by letting everyone else do the work and just plagiarize it so he might make a good unethical politician anyway.

Mitch is a big free trade guy. He helped push normalized trade with China, since then his net worth has shot up.
Which has been good for his father-in-law's shipping business.
Mitch just a DC turtle living in the swamp. You's think at his position of power he would do more for his state residents.
Responded with anger?
I read every Tweet and I saw no anger. He simply told Mitch's toady that any time Mitch wanted to come on the radio or tv to come on and discuss the issues.
Why would Matt do so with a toady? Mitch can't speak for himself?
Matt definitely came out on top in that exchange.
I have nothing against Jones. I occasionally watch Hey Kentucky and he comes across as someone who doesn't have a good grasp of economics and how things work. During some of his coverage of the pension reform plans, he kept referring to the pension crisis as being manufactured. If he doesn't understand the severity of the pension problem, then I doubt he can understand much of anything that has to do with finance or economics. Many of the points he makes are very poorly thought out and show very little depth of knowledge. Aside from his liberal views, which are a turn-off for me, I just don't think his background gives him much in the way of valuable knowledge. I personally would like to see someone replace Mitch, but I'm not going to vote to replace him with a liberal Democrat. If there is a good conservative Republican challenger in the primary, I will vote for that person, otherwise Mitch will get my vote in the fall.
Wendell Ford was the last Democrat elected to the US Senate from Kentucky in1992. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen but is definitely an uphill climb.
Well you're gonna vote for him anyways, so anything he does in your eyes will be righteous. I see the anger in your post so I will just let you be kind sir.
Right. I guess any time he avoids actually giving a defined position other than catchphrases that is a win. He likes platforms where he can give his opinion and cut off any disagreement.
On a live remote to promote ACA he did not know there were fines for not having healthcare for some people.
