Quote:“We deserve better than a win-at-all-costs mentality,” McGrath said. “I was unwilling and we remain unwilling to be part of the problem. I was unwilling to be part of the problem just to get to the office.”
This was her explanation for having refused to run a negative campaign, allowing Barr to control the narrative. It's more than a little bit amusing..because...ofc, she ran on the "country over party" slogan and this, mainly, was a euphemism for intending to be a consistently red vote on key issues.
Barr, for his part, noted that she went to the east coast and swore she was more liberal than anyone in the state.
Congratulations, McGrath, you put your foot on the gamesmanship board...and then inexplicably refused to play. You -are- part of the problem. You -were- willing to be part of the problem just to get to the office. You tried to grab kentucky by the pussy and take it furniture shopping...but you just couldn't get there.
Why would any progressive vote -for- you? So, in this race, did the republicans win because dems just didn't turn out to vote...or did republicans win because regardless of which candidate one picked the premise was that republican positions and policies would dominate?
