Republican Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell
has a lot, a lot of problems right now.
According to the latest round of polling,
Mitch McConnell stands at a paltry 18% approval
rating among Kentucky voters, and let's keep
in mind that Mitch McConnell is the longest
serving us Senator in the history of the state
of Kentucky.
This latest poll also show showed only 37%
of respondents in Kentucky said they're going
to vote for McConnell in 2020 when he's up
for reelection only 37% I don't know if Mitch
McConnell understands this, but you can't
win an election with only 37% of the vote.
He's also in trouble because his democratic
opponent is raising money hand over fist because
Mitch McConnell has become the new Ted Cruz.
And is just kind of universally hated across
the country.
That's why Beto O'Rourke did so well against
Cruz because he was raising money from outside
the state, and that's exactly what to Mitch
McConnell's opponent is doing.
Mitch McConnell is suffering this fate.
Not only because he hitched his wagon to Trump,
but a lot because he hitched his wagon to
Trump.
And that's what's happening to lots of Republicans
across the country.
We're seeing these state by state races right
now, the polling from those races favoring
the Democrats, you know, swing districts that
Republicans currently hold our polling heavily
in favor of Democrats, senators who have held
their seats for decades like McConnell polling
now as favoring the Democrats fundraising,
same way favoring the Democrats and McConnell
who wants seem like a safe bet.
The guy wasn't going anywhere.
Now suddenly finds his very seat as the Senate
majority leader in jeopardy.
That's big.
And that's important.
And hopefully this trend continues.
And again, a lot of it is because he's backing
Donald Trump the most unpopular Republican
president in our lifetime.
Those of us who were born after Nixon resigned
from office like myself.
But here's the thing, it's not just Donald
Trump.
McConnell also has several other problems.
Again, something we spoke of recently where
you had all those black lung victims that
people suffering from black lung, dying from
black lung took the 10 hour bus ride to DC
only to be snubbed by Mitch McConnell.
Those were his supporters and he wouldn't
even talk to them.
They got angry.
That story ran for quite awhile in Kentucky
and other people got angry too and they saw
what this man really stands for.
He doesn't care about us.
He doesn't care about the people that have
kept them in office for over 30 years.
So why should we care about him?
He's got another problem, a bigger problem.
This one, a potentially legal problem and
that is the fact that his wife is currently
under investigation.
Elaine Chao, the secretary of transportation,
because she has allegedly had been funneling
money to Mitch's donors in Kentucky giving
them these lucrative contracts that they are
not qualified for given Kentucky more contracts
than any other state meeting with Kentucky
contractors more than any other state's contractors.
And now she faces a very serious investigation
that also threatens Mitch McConnell himself.
The dude is in trouble and he deserves to
be in trouble.
Mitch McConnell has been horrible since the
very first day he stepped onto that Senate
floor and it's not going to end until the
very last time he steps onto that Senate floor
and hopefully voters in Kentucky do the right
thing and they end his tenure.
They end his reign, they end his oppression
and his obstruction, and finally say, Mitch,
come on back to Kentucky.
We'd like to have a word with you.
