Grimes: 'I'm not Barack Obama ... and Mitch, that's not how you hold a gun'

be true to who you are run away you may not see another day if you are Progressive run on being a Progressive and what we have done for the country not to it.

ALISON LUNDERGAN GRIMES (voiceover): Mitch McConnell wants you to think I'm Barack Obama. Mitch is the same guy who thought Duke basketball players were UK. Who's attacking me on coal after doing next to nothing while we lost thousands of coal jobs. He even said it's 'not his job' to bring jobs to Kentucky.
GRIMES (to camera): I'm not Barack Obama. I disagree with him on guns, coal, and the EPA. And Mitch, that's not how you hold a gun.
So she's for UK basketball, guns, coal, and holding a gun correctly whilst target shooting. And she's not Barack Obama. So vote for her.
But whatever you do, don't talk about the fact that she wants to protect Kynect, Kentucky's implementation of Obamacare, from her opponent, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Sure, Kynect is delivering health insurance to a half-million Kentuckians—nearly ten percent of the state. Sure, McConnell wants to repeal Obamacare and along with it Kynect. And sure, the biggest gains in insurance coverage have come in the areas where McConnell is running strongest—the areas he can't win without dominating.
But don't mention that, because voters don't care about tangible things that make a real difference in their lives. What they care about are the intangibles: Like not being Barack Obama, not confusing Duke with UK, not saying your job isn't to bring jobs to Kentucky, and not holding a gun incorrectly. And it's important to stay focused on the things that people care about most.
i understand living where things are not so much Progressive values and more republican "PRINCIPLES formerly known as "VALUES" can be hard they were elected to even be in that position but if you are  Dem and vote right wing agenda to appease those voters to vote for you are you really serving your party or playing along to get along?  what good is a Dem in republican clothing i see it as betrayal of our trust if you do get elected you have to still cater to the right wing majority so who's the boss?
after all Pres. has done for this country and the thousands in KY. why run away from him and ACA KY. is benefiting big time while McConnell tried to deny them run on that oh and perhaps this:
