Powerhouse Amy McGrath - 44-year-old progressive Democrat who lost her mid-term Congressional race by a whisker, longtime Marine Lieutenant Colonel and

first woman Marine pilot to fly in front line combat, holder of an

undergrad political science degree from the U.S. Naval Academy and a Masters from Johns Hopkins, mother of three

married to a lifelong Republican and all-round, straight-talking bad ass - is running to unseat Mitch "Treason McTurtle" McConnell, the "

monkey wrench destroying the gears of democracy" who likes to boast he's the Darth Vader of the Senate. In her earlier race, McGrath ran a hard-hitting ad that gently nudged the increasingly unpopular McConnell and quickly

went viral ; in Tuesday's first fiery Senate ad, she is not fooling around. McConnell, she proclaims, represents "everything that's wrong with Washington." "

Everything that’s wrong with Washington had to start somewhere," she goes on. "It started with this man, who was elected a lifetime ago, and who has, bit by bit, year by year, turned Washington into something we all despise - where dysfunction and chaos are political weapons, where budgets and health care and the Supreme Court are held hostage, a place where ideals go to die." Team Vader already released a supposed rebuttal, which simply, weirdly quotes all her eloquent, compassionate, right-on positions - the wall is stupid, a woman should control her own body, she wants to be a voice for progressive values. "We have to win this," she insists. Yes, please.
