He did not put up much of a fight.
He would have lost by 5000 votes even if every republican in the state had voted for him twice
That house plant aka Allison Grimes is the KY Sec. of state and you can bet the recount was half-hearted at best. The best thing the R’s in KY can do is the legislature can make Jr. deal with the pensions that daddy looted and the new R Attorney General can put his legal foot up Jr’s ass 24/7/52.
Bevin lost this because of his own big mouth. My best at work has a family friend that works in the govs office and according to her they would tell him gov. no don’t say XYZ here or in this speech, you need to say it in this area of the state and it was like water off a ducks back. He had good intentions but just doesn’t know when to shut up.
