With ALL other races for offices, how can the Governor's numbers be SO different? Makes little sense. No coincidences.
Oh stop it
You can’t find voter fraud in the numbers, not everyone votes straight ticket and yes, Bevin wasn’t that best candidate and suffered from foot in mouth syndrome. Insulting teachers, building toll booths, anti-Trump nonsense, wasn’t a winning strategy for ANY politician.
If the ‘rats were going to cheat, they would have stolen the other state offices as well.
Thank about that
Not saying there was no fraud on the part of the Dems but keep in mind Bevin’s approval rating was at 33% and was the most unpopular Gov in the Country.
The Democrat ran as a Conservative in every way. I say he RAN like one but of course is NOT since he strongly backs abortion and never criticized Trump.
My guess is if he doesn’t govern as a Conservative he will be a one term player.
Bevin was a horrible candidate. He could have been the savior for the teachers pensions which was failing because Jr. Breshears daddy looted their pension for other spending when he was gov. The teachers stared wailing like 6th graders and showing their asses and Bevin got down in the mud with them and started name calling. I really lost all respect for the teachers in this state over their cry sack behavior. And I am witnessing their results working in a community college. The students they are graduating can barely function and write a coherent sentence and most of th time they cannot.
Still Bevin put tens of millions back into the retirement fund, all unappreciated by the “educators” of the state. I work in higher ed. in KY and those tens of millions came out of our hides. My department alone went from ten full time employees to five and our budget was slashed on top of that. I would love to shove my foot up the ass of the “educators” bitching and moaning about how bad they have been treated. Still after taking hits from Bevin, we voted for him recognizing, he had issues but Jr. is going to be a disaster.
Bevin called the (R) legislature back into special session and gets nothing essentially on the pensions and they took a political beating and what they did kicked the can down the road and they actually looted the teachers health care pension which was as stupid as daddy Breshears.
Plus in Kentucky there have been three Republican governors since 1970 and Bevin just said things that set people off when he didn’t need too.
With ALL other races for offices, how can the Governor’s numbers be SO different? Makes little sense. No coincidences.
+++++
1. The Governor was very unpopular with Republicans in general.
2. 10-15 thousand or so decided to not vote for governor at all.
3. Those missing votes cost him the election.
Libertarian defectors, and he pissed off the teacher’s Union.
