A big deal in a presidential election.

Bodes well for Trump nationally.

Wheeeeee!

Now, I hate to ask, but are these people TRUE Conservatives, or do we have a whole ‘nother bunch of RINOs to do battle with? ;)

Remember the last time the Republicans won big in D.C.? What was that in 2012 or 2014? What a pack of frauds.

Kind of a mixed bag that depends on the issue at hand, really. Kentucky is kind of a diverse state - rural coal, rural agriculture, urban, suburban, exurban, etc. I guess that exists in every state to a degree but our state is much longer across than it looks on a map and these different interests are very isolated from each other.

The gov, Bevin, is a TEA Party guy who challenged McConnell in the R primary four years ago. Lost, but had a respectable showing. Ran for gov two years ago, all the polls showed the Dem winning, and Bevin won by 3-4 points.

His crazy election night ‘sermon’ from last year when Bevin won (as well as other down ballot races) came back to haunt him - being featured prominently in radio and TV advertising.

On the contrary, he won by about 9 points.

In any case, it’s an interesting statement on the value of polls.

He’s got coattails.

The reason HE’s not carrying swing states is fraud on HIS direct spot on the ballot. I’m going to take a look at Broward FL percentages tomorrow and they are going to be absolutely skewed as to the rest of the Republican vote. Rubio won big. You watch. The infamous fraudulent counties are going to have very strange numbers.
