I don’t care who you are.
False. She is running in KY and she ended her ad with “Democrat” across the screen.
Good luck …
She makes me want to move to KY just to cast a vote for her.
Yeah well, there’s that.
Great ad, though.

Very much so. Impressive.
It’s a great ad.
I don’t know how elections work for the Senate and House but it seems to me that anyone from the military, particularly those in combat, don’t have a very good chance of winning the Presidency.
Clinton, Bush 2 and Trump all did everything they could to avoid service and won handily (particularly Trump…). The Presidential nominees with service (Bush1 vs. Clinton, Dole, McCain, Kerry,) were beaten handily.
I find that a little odd.
Personally I’m sick of hearing how Repubs want to take your healthcare away, but I can see how people benefiting from Obama care get fired up regardless of how unsustainable it is.

She’s a retired Marine. She’s not benefiting from Obamacare. She has Tricare health insurance as a retirement benefit.
Amy was a classmate of mine at USNA. Never knew her that well, but she had a good reputation as far as I can remember.
So now the act of no longer forcing people to buy health insurance they don’t want has been rebranded as “taking healthcare away”?
That’s not a good ad.
That’s insulting.
Oh yeah, there’s no way a gnarly lesbian democrat wins in Kentucky either.
PS: the republicans can kiss my ass (McCain especially) for that cowardly bullshit they pulled last week.
Fuck all of them.

Must have been so hard for her to have been married to a Republican dude for 13 years and had three children.
This bit about her induction into the Ky. aviation Hall of Fame is pretty impressive (non-political). She was on the flight line at Miramar during 9/11 awaiting orders to scramble to take down airliners (as a WSO, not a pilot at the time).

I can’t imagine the struggles “she” must have endured.

Tell that to this guy; POTUS 1953-1961. Maybe after another 3 1/2 years, what America needs is a little discipline…SLOWGUY 2020!

X2. I will likely vote with my dollars

For the life of me I cannot imagine why you would ever need to delete any of your posts.

And there were people here who thought the LR couldn’t survive without your stellar contributions. Go figure.

Every president from Eisenhower through GHW Bush were active duty during WWII.
Clinton was the only one of those 3 that won handily. G Bush and Trump just squeeked by - remember Bush was awarded the presidency by the supreme court and barely beat Kerry for reelection 286 v 251. Clinton began Vietnam as a student at Oxford then registered for the draft in law school, but got #310 (no one over #195 was drafted). Bill did protest the war though. He planned on ROTC at Arkansas, but didn’t. The guy who ran that thought that he gamed the system to get a very high draft number.
Despite the situation that the armed services in the US get enormous respect (deservedly so) and if you say anything negative about them you will be stomped on it is only a tiny proportion of the population. The gap between people in the military and the general population has widened in the last 50 years. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1997/07/the-widening-gap-between-military-and-society/306158/.
It is an all volunteer army very professional and much more conservative than the population at large. I don’t think the average person knows that many people in the military or can relate to what their lives are like. Ergo military service is much less likely to be viewed as an asset in the political arena. I did read a better article about this a few months ago that was more recent and from the Atlantic but a quick internet search has not found it right now.
Al Gore went to Vietnam and lost. Kerry lost. McCain lost. Romney got republican nomination no military service. Ms. Clinton no military service nor Mr. Trump. Military service doesn’t help you win the presidency anymore. The 80s was a long time ago.

Worked well for so many out of staters in the Georgia election.
