    I don’t think youre crazy but in this situation, why would the dems want a special election? He will be replaced by another able bodied voting republican. As of now, the Republicans simply lose a vote until midterms.

      I don’t think he would be. Gop been losing races across the country, I feel like there’s a decent chance they would lose this one too.

        This is Kentucky, they are not worried about losing the seat. What they should do is just put a dem in his seat and let the courts sort it out, which is exactly what Republicans would do. But ya… Controlled opposition…
