Do you think Cory Booker has a shot at unsettling Senator Rand Paul, in 20/20 or is he just another Amy McGrath should someone Tougher Run as an Independent?
 
No. Kentucky went for Trump in all but two counties. The Democrat running against Moscow Mitch only took three counties. Paul has a lot more negatives than Mitch but not enough to overcome that level of polarization.

I could Beat Rand Paul in Kentucky, because I am not a coward to tell the Truth.

I think it's less a question of telling the truth, and more a question of whether the people of Kentucky care about what you have to say, and whether they believe you when you say it.

What truths would you tell Kentuckians, that would cause them to vote for you instead of Rand Paul?

If you say so.

I'll just repeat my question to you:

What truths would you tell Kentuckians, that would cause them to vote for you instead of Rand Paul?

There are a 1000 page book full, first showing how Kentucky has been held back for decades by Republicans.

I'm pretty sure that Kentuckians aren't going to be interested in reading a 1000 page book just to figure out who to vote for. You would probably have to come up with a short list of clear, concise, and true summary statements about why you would be a better candidate than Paul. What kind of bullet points would you use to summarize the truth, in a way that fits into a campaign speech or campaign ad?

Not how it works. Even before partisanship went nuclear in the US, people dug in on their chosen truths. That's why swinging big and trying to take high-level seats rarely works (KY governor is an exception under special circumstances). You gotta do the groundwork. Why do you think the GOP focused on older voters and local elections for so long? Political movements work from the bottom up, even if you are juicing it with money from the top.

It's not that someone like Rand Paul is well-liked or a skilled politician. He's a transplant from Texas who went to the same medical school as his daddy, who also held political office for decades. He's everything they claim to oppose. But, the GOP has driven the messaging in Kentucky from the lowest levels on up. And Rand Paul happens to be the guy there.

It's a lesson that progressives have either finally figured out or is finally bearing fruit. You're not going to flip Senate and governor seats in one cycle. You gotta win hearts and minds.

One The Fact that Paul cannot prove his Covid Conspiracy Theories, even now White Tailed deer in Kentucky are catching Covid -19, that shows this virus is highly transmittable between Humans and other species. Any Species in c.ose proximity to man that could carry the Virus could have transmitted it to a Human In China. Nature needs no human hand to design a virus to kill us Providence God is Perfectly Capable of doing that on his own.

I happen to live in Kentucky.
 
So does Amy McGrath. So does Jack Conway. So does Jim Gray. What do you think you can do that they can't?

That sentence is sure unsettling me.

There is kind of a deep pun on 2020 hindsight if you read it right. But no, the Senator from New Jersey shouldn't go around unsettling anyone. I'll be placing my absentee vote for Tougher Run (I).
