Extreme Amy McGrath’s doomed race for the Senate is still fumbling nearly one year after its launch. From airing false, negative attack ads against Senator McConnell to inauthentic claims about working with President Trump, — whose impeachment she supports — Kentuckians are clearly not impressed by McGrath.
In case you missed it, here’s what an analysis published in the Richmond Register is saying about Amy McGrath’s campaign of deception:
“It’s hard to feel bad for Amy McGrath”
“The Democrats, desperate to finally Ditch Mitch, want so badly to deny him one last victory. The biggest problem, though, was finding a good candidate. At the top of the list for many was McGrath, who had lost to Andy Barr two years ago in the race for Kentucky’s 6th Congressional seat. Just one problem. McGrath wasn’t really that interested. It took plenty of arm-twisting from the top Democrats in Washington, most notably Senator Chuck Schumer, to get her to change her mind.
“The 44-year-old retired Marine announced her candidacy almost a year ago. I can’t help but imagine that she’s probably regretted that decision ever since. Her campaign certainly has not been able to gain any real traction at all. […]
“McConnell, meanwhile, has garnered national attention by helping pass one of the biggest financial relief bills in the history of the country. The six-term senator is getting things done in Washington D.C., while McGrath is stuck at home relying on television ads to reach her desired audience.
“And McGrath’s commercials are painfully ineffective. They seem to have no focus. The spots lash out at McConnell in any number of directions, often with conflicting messages. Each ad, of course, is quickly countered with another brilliant rebuke from McConnell’s veteran campaign staff.
“It’s painful to witness. […]
“In one of her latest commercials, the increasingly desperate McGrath uses one of President Trump’s favorite terms. She claims she’s going to drain the swamp and even looks right at the camera and in a stern voice says, ‘Senator, you are the swamp.’
“It’s really getting kind of embarrassing. Seriously.”
