Fair point. Believe he was a Doctor of sorts. But he had been known for being a follower and believer in our Constitution. And so far, has made that case and performed well as a Senator. I cant say Judd knows anything about the Constitution but she knows the lefty agenda. She makes her lefty agenda more clearly known than anything she may or may not know about our Constitution.

Just to add, he has been heavily involved in liberty and founded a Tax watchdog type organization in Kentucky.

So he has been more involved than just saying he believes this or that for quite some time now.

Schumer, for whatever reason, is one of those that will be re-elected over and over for life. I dont know why or how, but its a foregone conclusion.
You might do well to do a little research about your subject before you post such negative biases.

Ashley Judd has a masters degree from Harvard. She has a varied background, including graduating from University of Kentucky, lots of charity work, and political volunteerism. She's not your "typical" Hollywood star, although a number of them these days do have degrees from impressive schools. Btw, didn't Scott Brown of MA appear in a national magazine in the nude?

"In 2010, Judd received a master's degree in public administration from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government."

Ashley Judd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He was a doctor. Guess the kettle is all alone now.

Which means she can't possibly win in an ultra-red state like Kentucky, which means you people shrieking about her candidacy are wasting your breath.

Reagan was doing the exact same thing Judd has been doing the last 15 years in politics, which is work on campaigns, fund raise, and work on committees.

This is true. Reagan ran CA before jumping onto national politics. He also failed to get nominated a number of times before finally succeeding at an advanced age. I didn't agree with many of his policies but I do appreciate his perseverance and American traits of keep on trying to achieve what you believe in and using your failures to learn and better yourself.

I think its a joke that she is even running in the first place. That she really believes people in a state she doesnt even reside in are going to want her representing them, because she likes to take her clothes off on the big screen.

I really don't know, but I'm betting that having a masters degree in public administration from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government indicates that she knows more about the Constitution and the average citizen out there.
