Amy McGrath Beats Bernie-Backed Charles Booker!

Amy McGrath beats Charles Booker.
Amy McGrath beats Charles Booker. She will take on Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Majority Leader of the Senate and Donald J. Trump's most reliable ally.

The polls have the race as LIKELY REPUBLICAN but we can change that if we get out to vote and put McGrath in the Senate.

The retired Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath narrowly beats Kentucky state representative Cory Booker in a race that would have determined if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) had an impact in the direction of the Democratic Party.

Booker, an African American state lawmaker from Louisville was hoping to capitalize off the Breonna Taylor tragedy. He was experiencing heavy turnout in Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green and Fulton.

Booker got endorsements from controversial agitators like Cenk Uygur, Briahna Joy Gray, Nina Turner, (Jeffery) Shaun King, Benjamin Dixon and David Sirota. These were the leftists agitators who backed Sanders.

Leftists websites Common Dreams, The Intercept and The Nation were pushing bullshit about McGrath in order to generate support among Booker.

I seriously believed that Russian propaganda played a role and McConnell, himself was hoping to use Booker as a scapegoat.

In the end, McGrath who was doing reasonably well in rural Kentucky pulls off a victory.
Charles Booker's rise to fame came from endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
This comes as a warning to Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ro Konna (D-CA). Their push to make the Democratic Party more progressive is going to be a turnoff to progressives, moderates and even some conservative Democrats. Their push for Medicare for All and taxing the rich isn't motivating voters. The coronavirus has pretty much eliminated any consideration of a Bernie Sanders-inspired agenda.

No one wants his agenda.

Republicans already paying the price for being too conservative and embracing Donald J. Trump.

They have shown themselves to by highly hypocritical towards their beliefs due to the fact they endorsed and supported a man who is not a Christian. A man who has no family values. A man who is willing to sacrifice his own country for the amusement of foreign dictators.

Booker's surge was not expected but it did give McGrath a run for her money. She was close to being defeated. The projections of the results shows that McGrath beat Booker by only 4%.

McGrath ran against Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) in 2018 and narrowly lost to him.
Mitch McConnell will fight dirty and continue to tag his Democratic opponents as too extreme for Kentucky.
McGrath now has raised millions of dollars for the Senate race and has the backing of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

"I'm humbled that Kentucky Democrats have nominated me to take on Mitch McConnell in the general election and can't wait to get started in sending him into retirement and finally draining the toxic Washington political swamp that he built. I want to congratulate Charles Booker for his very impressive result, and also to Mike Broihier for stepping into this arena and making his passionate voice and ideas heard. I am proud to have competed against these men and, undoubtedly, doing so made me a better candidate. I hope I can rely on them for their help, guidance and advice for the fight ahead of us."

McGrath is willing to at least take Booker's advice on how to win over voters. That's a good step ahead.
