"SNIP....
Chuck Schumer is actively recruiting a celebrated fighter pilot to take on Mitch McConnell in 2020 a calculated act of aggression against a leading Democratic foe, Politico reports.
Schumer met with Amy McGrath, a Marine veteran-turned 2018 congressional candidate, at Democratic Party headquarters last month to pitch her on running against McConnell. McGrath listened and didnt rule it out.

(11,115 posts)McConnell has to be defeated.
BluegrassDem
(1,693 posts)She refused to go negative against Rep. Andy Barr and allowed him to crush her with attack ads. McConnell is known for dirty fighting and he wins. She is the wrong choice. Also, if she couldn't win in a swing district, how can she win in statewide?
LiberalFighter
(51,388 posts)She will need to run a strong campaign. That includes attacking McConnell. Tying him with what is wrong with him.
BluegrassDem
(1,693 posts)She refused to say anything bad about Andy Barr. She wouldn't even talk about Trump and how his tariffs were killing the bourbon industry. She didn't run a single negative ad. McConnell is a dirty politician. He will chew her up and spit her out. He'll also talk about how she will support the Green New Deal and she will lose by 60 pt's in the Appalachian counties because of coal. I live here. She won't win.

(3,667 posts)The Democratic party puts up a candidate to run and it's considered " a calculated act of aggression against a leading Democratic foe,
Is that the way it's reported if a Con runs against a Dem? Is it considered an act of aggression?
