Businessman who has been likened to Trump wins Kentucky governor’s race
Washington Post ^ | 3 Nov 2015 | By Aaron Blake

Republicans stole a key governor's seat in a hotly contested race in Kentucky on Tuesday, installing an outsider businessman who has drawn comparisons to Donald Trump as the state's next chief executive.

Meanwhile, neighboring Ohio voted against becoming the fifth state to legalize the recreational use of marijuana.

In Kentucky, millionaire GOP investor Matt Bevin led Democratic state Attorney General Jack Conway 52.5 percent to 44 percent with 99 percent of precincts reporting. The race, which was perhaps the most watched among a series of lower-profile races in Tuesday's off-year election, has been called for Bevin.

Oh yeah!

The national polls are total b.s. Trump is up 30%+. Will be more when a few folks like Rand Paul drop out soon.

Carson was being inflated by the MSM in hopes when they popped his fake numbers people would go to Rubio - the Jeb replacement candidate. It’s not working.

MSM has lost its death grip on the narrative. The internet killed them - just like newspapers.

“Stole”, huh? Can’t even be gracious enough to say “surprising victory” or “outsider wins”, or something like that, can they?

The miracle Carson surge in Reuters has dissipated. Cooler heads at Reuters decided there is an advantage at playing it straight. No more single day Carson at 50% to juice his 5 day average. Please see my screen caps on the Reuters poll thread from earlier today

Yes Stole ,
That the hard left Compost.
An insulting rag.

Yet we allow these radical left wing media shops to peddle false polling for months to suppress the Gop voters and nothing us done to STOP IT.

This was intentionally !
You can not have a accidental 16 point swing !
The same thing happen in 2014 for all the Senate races .
The Gop by huge margins while the polls showed Dem's tied or ahead .

Yet , the DC trolls here still peddle the NBC- WSJ push polls as the gospel or a NYSlimes - Cbs poll !

These polls were complete lies !

Well except in this case the guy (Bevin) is REALLY a conservative! Not just a Johnny come lately-Kardashian-pretender to conservatism.
