This is troublesome: KY may be wavering...

Rand needs to be doing his anti abortion ads right now, exposing Trump. Special air time in KY . We would be lucky if at the same time Cruz would launch "recall" of Mitch McConnell who cares nothing about representation but found a gravy train for himself and his cocaine dealer father in law.
 
Be mad at Trump if you want to, but you can rest assured he didn't think of this.
 
"There is a lot of other stuff that McConnell did. For example McConnell attached Rand's Hemp legislation to grow industrial hemp in Kentucky the Farm Bill before it was voted on. That at least gives Rand the ability to say he got something passed for Kentucky. I could come up with at least a dozen other examples if I thought about it."

Wonderful! But there's a big difference between helping someone in the Senate and helping a person get to the White House you would agree?

Mitch McConnell could end this with a couple of phone calls, calls he's apparently not making. And because of it, Rand has to spend time and lot of money securing something for him in his own home state that should have been done eight months ago.

McConnell doesn't control the state party. And the article doesn't say it isn't going to happen, just that it is starting to meet resistance. And let's not act like this is some unreasonable sentiment. Changing to a caucus generates a great deal of work and expense. When Rand was a top tier candidate and the potential payoff was a Kentuckian as President, the upside trumped those negatives. But Rand's crappy campaign and plunging poll numbers are causing some to express doubts. Why go to all this trouble if the guy isn't even going to be in the race by the time we hold the caucus? That's a perfectly reasonable thought and it is nobody's fault but Rand's that people are having it.
 
Rand or his team is relatively wise enough to have a decent back up plan to maintain his senate seat in the advent of any scenarios that might let him move on to run for president but maybe not make the general election and people here are still whining?

Hey thanks Politico! You guys do a great job weeding out the weak ones.
 
"McConnell doesn't control the state party."

He doesn't? He's Senate Majority Leader and his words can't get a view souls on the state's GOP executive committee to quit their wavering and support the switch to a caucus to help the candidate HE ENDORSED?

Then his endorsement means nothing. Randoids can't have it both ways. McConnell needs to straightened this out or his word is meaningless.

Whiner? How about pissed off my donation to Rand is going to pay for a bloody caucus someone else should have foot the bill for. That's means less money for Ads, for organization work, for the other things which campaigns effective. It doesn't include paying for your own state's caucus.

If McConnell controlled the Party, Rand wouldn't be Senator right now and Bevin wouldn't be the GOP Candidate for Governor. Rand made a strategic alliance with McConnell because doing so helped Rand in the Senate. And that alliance worked beautifully for the most part. McConnell let Rand do what he wanted and didn't clamp down on him like he did with Cruz and as a result Rand became the most popular GOP Senator in the country in very short order. Rand has since squandered most of the good will built up among the GOP base, but that isn't McConnell's fault. The alliance with McConnell set Rand up perfectly for a Presidential run. He was popular, well known, and respected at the start of this thing. It took a lot of hard work by Rand and his campaign team to lose all that. If Rand were still in the Top 3, he wouldn't be having these issues with the State Committee and Rand would still be in the Top 3 if not for the horrible campaign he's run.

So enough with this "Rand got nothing out of it" argument. He got a tremendous amount out of the alliance with McConnell. The problem isn't that that he didn't get anything, but he inexplicably chose to piss away everything that he got.
 
Trump could start financing primary candidates. would Rand win a primary for senate, and how much attention from presidency would it take?
 
Kentucky is forgiving. McConnell's father in law with a bunch on cocaine on his boat... After he was busted, we never heard another word about it, so apparently Kentucky got their heads up their arse, and the guys were forgiven by the judicial system .... unlike anyone unaffiliated with a politician, or black.

Kentucky must be forgiving. They continue to re-elect that maggot Mitch McConnell, a super piece of dog dung with no loyalty to anyone other them himself and the Bilderberg Group.
