They better have a battalion of lawyers in Louisville and Frankfort and the black districts in Memphis to make sure that harvesting (vote stealing) is kept to a minimum.

Something really is rotten in Kentucky. Desperate Democrats will do anything, commit a crime, break the law, rig the gig, etc.!!!

They think they have the right to win by any means necessary.

If they lose, they spend the next four years trying to make it impossible for the Republican to get anything done, with the MSM helping them.

Whether they like Bevin or not, only idiots would elect a far left Democrat.

I have a conservative Republican congressman. He doesn’t answer my calls and I can’t stand him. But I’m not going to cut my throat either.

Bevin blew it, and this is what happens.

The only reason I’d like to see him pull it out is to give Trump a win. But is it really?

Let's be honest, this result -- even if Bevin loses -- is a HUGE victory for President Trump.

Matt Bevin was declared by USAToday "The least popular governor in America" TWO MONTHS AGO.

He had a 30% approval rate. The teachers unions universally opposed him.

Yet Trump went 100% behind him, and tonight it's TOO CLOSE TO CALL? INCREDIBLE!

If 1/4 of the morons who backed the Libertarian voted for Bevin he would have won. And the GOP flipped the SoS or AG that has gone Democrat for 90 years!

Isnt it just.... strange. Friends there tell me the Durham County (ultra leftist county thanks amazingly to the PRIVATE Duke University influence).... made the difference in statewide voting. Extremely late (like, next day returns, from a county that is not super populated... and suspect dead voters).

Another reason cited was the incumbent Gov. McCrory (who literally ran ads targeted to assuming hitlery winning, and the state needing a Republican balance- kid you not). If McCrory had jumped on the Trump train with Thom Tillis— he’d have been re-elected. As it is— he did not campaign as much because he was doing his job helping hurricane flooding victims in E. Carolina from massive flooding in September.

The current governor (was the AG and is a LGBTQ and “bathroom whatever you think you are that day: idiot lib. Should be a one-termer)

If you look closely at the Republican down ticket vote totals it’s clear that people voted the straight Republican ticket. But yet Bevin came up short.
Not hard to believe when our Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes watched as her father and her former campaign manager were convicted two months ago for campaign finance fraud. Her father Jerry Lundergan was trained in campaign finance and vote fraud techniques when he served as a major campaign finance bundler for Billy Jeff Clinton. Something smells plenty fishy here in Ky. Just 4000 votes separate the candidates out of right at 1.5 million cast.

If this were a matter of 400 votes rather than 4000 this might mean something...I think we are just prolonging our misery over what happened.

……

Misery?

Bevin will make the good fight Trump has won in Kentucky & Mississippi tonight and will win in Louisiana next week and with that come Novewmber, 2020...trump will carry Kentucky, Mississippi and Louisiana easily, Just add Texas, Florida & Ohio and (1,2,3) we got us another four years of Trumpie!!!

I mean, how dumb can those criminal, crooked, Democrats thinking they can steal the election from Matt Bevin while the rest of the entire state GOP candidates running for offices in Kentucky won hands down...all of them, everyone of them!!! Go, Matt Bevin......you got a winnable case...go all the way to the Supreme Court, if you have to!!!

Don’t bet on it. Cooper has the full support of the local media outlets in perpetuating the fraud that he is a moderate. And North Carolina is experiencing the same pro-Democrat demographic shifts that have occurred in Virginia. They just aren’t as advanced yet, probably due to not being unlucky enough to border Washing DC.

Also, McCrory was only the second or third Republican elected governor in NC in forever. There are still a significant number of right-leaning voters who will split their ticket and vote Democrat for state offices. A leftist AG was elected the same night Cooper won which was the same night Trump and Burr won. (Did you mean Burr when you spoke of Tillis? It was Burr who won re-election in 2016...Thillis won in 2014).

Cooper will be favored to win re-election. Count on it. And Thillis will struggle to hold his seat next year.
