There’s no one, myself included, who could go to Washington for 20-30-40 years and not change. It’s cathartic, good, refreshing for there to be turnover. You’ve gotta be careful of staying anywhere too long. It’s best to retire with dignity. I’m offering Mitch McConnell the chance to do so.
— Kentucky U.S. Senate candidate Matt Bevin (R), quoted by Time.
I’m David, and he’s Goliath. That’s just the reality of it. However, the path to victory just gets wider and wider.
— Matt Bevin (R), quoted by the Wall Street Journal, on his long-shot bid to unseat Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
I don’t intend to run to the right of Mitch McConnell. I don’t intend to run to the left of Mitch McConnell. I intend to run straight over the top of Mitch McConnell and right into the U.S. Senate.
— Kentucky U.S. Senate candidate Matt Bevin (R), quoted by the Louisville Courier Journal, delivering “what may have been the sharpest attack of the day” at Fancy Farm.
