I thought KY was solid Republican?

In 2016, Donald Trump easily carried Kentucky with 62.52% of the vote, to 32.68% of the vote for Hillary Clinton, a margin of 29.84%.

Good job, Bevin.

Bevin = one of the former Nevertrumpers

Bevin, who was elected governor last year, delivered a speech on Saturday that was widely viewed as anti-Trump, even if he did not use the real estate mogul’s name.

“People who will constantly give you what itching ears want to hear for the sake of getting in that moment what they want from that individual at that time, this is not what the greatness of America was built on,” Bevin said, according to the Kentucky politics website Pure Politics.

“When we talk about the greatness of America, I will tell you, while there are many who would tell us otherwise, America is great,” he added.

West Virginia gave Donald Trump his biggest margin of victory out of any state in 2016 -- 68% to 26%

And yet registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans there.
