Bevin was a lousy candidate who kept doing stupid things like speaking before the John Birch Society and supporting the legalization of cock fighting in KY, and there is nothing in his background that supports his claim that he’s a conservative—we just have his word for it, and we know that he’s far from honest, as his risible claim to being an MIT graduate shows. A good candidate running to the right of Mitch McConnell could have defeated him, and then gone on to trounce Grimey (as she prefers to be called) in the general, but, alas, McConnell didn’t face a good candidate in the primary. I think that we really got lucky that Bevin lost the primary, because I’m afraid that he would have lost to Grimey, but, had Bevin defeated McConnell, he would have had my enthusiastic support, since even if Bevin turned out to be disappointing or incompetent he’d still be a heck of a lot better than giving Grimey a six-year Senate term and allowing Reid to control the Senate agenda.
You’re just spouting the Mitch McConnell smearing talking-points just like the rest of the clapping-seals media and Ruling Class hacks that support the GOP no matter what they do.
Bevin NEVER claimed he was a graduate of MIT. Bevin clearly stated he completed an EO/MIT Entrepreneurial Master Program which was part of the MIT Enterprise Forum…. errr - you know what - ONE MAJOR REASON Bevin never got traction was because from the moment he announced his intentions to run for the seat, he had been continuously defending himself from bogus attacks.
Bevin was outspent 5 to 1 and STILL McConnell only got 60% of the GOP vote.
McConnell loses to Grimes, and deservedly so. I will be happy as a clam to see him retired.
At least I will know who and where the enemy is, rather than having to look behind me all the time wondering when I’m going to be shot from the back on orders from General Mitch to his Praetorian Establishment goons.
