Bevin could not have been that bad of a governor; how is it that a commie dem got elected to that position?
The main thing he dared to do was to try and strengthen the nearly insolvent state teachers pension fund. Try winning votes by making localities share part of the burden through higher property taxes. Throw in foot in mouth disease and you lose when the rest of the state office GOP ticket wins.
Vote harvesting that’s how.
Kentucky and West Virginia are a special kind of stupid and are mentally still stuck in 1936. Conservatives only accidentally get elected here.

He couldn’t control his mouth...saying teachers were increasing child molestation by protesting in Frankfort and other similar things. Right before the election he called for tolls in northern Kentucky which put in the final nail - those counties went blue when they are normally deep red - no way that happens had he just kept his mouth shut. Beshear didn’t beat Bevin - Bevin defeated himself.
And Bevin fully destroyed his reputation with some of the pardons he issued just before leaving office.

NY, MI, GA, PA, LA, WA, MN, IA, IL, to name just a few.
