Kentucky will keep Louisville as the lone Democratic district due to our wonderful Gov. Beshear

FOR NOW. Only the governor can call a special session, and the legislative session is over for the year. We need to work hard to put up electable nominees in the southern states and stop thinking someone way to the left will win over a red state. We need to put Dems in these office. We can't be doing these purity tests in southern offices. We need to win...full stop. We need to stop being idealist and look at cold, hard facts.

Just not here. She was at our Dem county meeting last month, and is more impressive in person than in her ads. She's not far left. Andy Barr is probably going to take over McConnell's seat, and he's a real nightmare.

Beshear has been a great gov! He has done so much for this state.

One may be the loneliest number, but they still have a loud voice. Let it roar, Louisville and perhaps the other districts will hear.

We need to put Dems in these office. We can't be doing these purity tests in southern offices.

Sing it out loud! You are absolutely correct.

We need to win...full stop. We need to stop being idealist and look at cold, hard facts.

I am not from Kentucky; however I agree and am with you every step of the way.
