Fancy Farm Picnic 2019 almost here!
7/30/19 UPDATED: Senator McConnell has confirmed he will speak (then leave early).
Senator Paul would rather go to a 3rd world country than come to Fancy Farm.
Party loyalists are already booking hotel rooms and setting up super secret squirrel meetings for the first week of August in the Purchase. Lots of partisan events to attend that week - plus the Lakes and the Discovery Park of America and the American Quilt Museum in Paducah and...and...and...
Here's the line up of speakers and how long they can talk. Contests have coin tosses on who goes first. Three public officials have not decided whether to show up or not.
Expecting McConnell to confirm, Paul and Grimes - not.
