But the polls I’ve seen show Bevins beating the Democrat in the general election, while McConnell is a toss-up.
Further, the Republicans are going to re-take the Senate with or without Kentucky, so who wants McConnell to be majority leader?
If Bevins does not win the primary, vote third-party in the general.
The flaw in your logic is that there’ll be a general election following the primary.
Bevins will be up against a pretty powerful Democrat machine that has a good track record of winning statewide elections. He’ll get no help from the KY GOP apparatus, which is controlled by McConnell’s people. He’ll get little if any help from the national GOP apparatus, which is controlled by McConnell’s friends.
People here’s will b*tch to high heaven about that, without considering that politics is a contact sport and that if we’re willing to burn McConnell down he and his people and his friends have every right to go scortched earth in response. If no quarter is given, none can be asked, right?
