Businessman Matt Bevin is the guy some see moving up in the Kentucky GOP governor's primary. Bevin also challenged now-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in a primary last year.
These two things are not distinct from one another. Now that Bevin's chances appear to be on the rise in the May 19 primary (thanks to Agriculture Commissioner James Comer's problems), here comes Team McConnell to knock him down a peg or two.
And boy do they. Here is top McConnell aide Josh Holmes on Bevin in a new Lousiville Courier-Journal story:
Josh Holmes, McConnell's former chief of staff and an adviser to his campaign, was even more critical, saying that Bevin can't be trusted and is essentially running to satisfy his ego.
"If Matt Bevin had moved to a state where he had a better shot at being elected to office as a Democrat, he would articulate the values of liberalism with the same conviction he now talks about conservatism," Holmes said in a statement.
"It's abundantly clear that his guiding light is to embrace whatever gets himself a little further down the road," he said. "If somehow Matt Bevin got into the governor's mansion his only agenda would be the commissioning of his portrait."
Ouch.

Point out one post that I pined for a GOPe....
I'm not a jack ass....but you are gaining ground on attaining that distinction.
You use phrases like "You guy's", "your propaganda"..and "spreading GOP BS"....Please point to ONE post I've made pining for a GOPe..in the years I've been here. You can't!
Post's like yours are wrong..and without any substance whatsoever. And make FR....look bad.
Prove I'm wrong. You won't...you can't.
Spare me buttercup. FR has an abundance of lesser evils that demanded that Mitch be re-elected. Demanded it. I don’t keep lists of names. You want to deny what we all saw and lived through? Thats on you. And no one makes FR look worse than someone that tries denying what anyone here clearly experienced.
You have gone around the bend.....
You want to be a smart ass, dumb ass..go ahead.
You totally misunderstood what I said in my post....but of course you know what's best.
You have no idea how you look...
FR took some backwards steps with you today.....
You will have the last word...
Yep. That “r” after his name got him a lot of votes.
Posting “Hillary thanks you” when you reject a liberal-republican should get members banned for life. The “lesser of evils” bull should get posters smeared with jam and staked down on a red ant mound.
What color is the sky on your planet?
One would hope.
Maybe I missed it but I never read anyone supporting McConnell. I said with others that nothing justified voting for a Democrat and I stand by that. But I also said and still say that I wouldnt vote for him either.
I said I wouldn’t vote if the choice was a repub-lib vs a dem-lib. Some trolls claimed “by not voting you are voting for the democrat.” They also said if I didn’t vote lib-repub in the general election “Hillary would thank me.”
I’m not sure what it will take to restore our Republic. Liberal, big government collectivists won’t make it happen.
It’s like choosing water with 10% raw sewerage rather than 20%. Isn’t choosing the lesser of raw sewerage water better? Drink up!
Hillary thanks us, Barry thanks us, Jarret thanks us, we hate our country, we hate America, we hate conservatism, Reagan would vote for (insert liberal here). You just want to make sure conservatives lose...
I can’t even remember all the excuses and the accusations. Now that the GOP fully unmasked themselves, the very same people that hurled that feces are not crying the blues because we are ‘holding their feet to the fire’ about it.
Oh well.
Edit: ARE NOW crying the blues
Conservatives did not benefit with mcconnel winning.
They’ve said they intend to destroy Conservatives and overtly attacked Conservatives. They’ve also been implicated in the IRS targeting of Conservative Groups.
But Conservatives are stupid and wrong for not voting for them.
Screw the FR GOPe lib-repub contingent!
You must not have been paying any attention then. There was a good number giving Norm and a couple of others hell. Telling them that if they did not vote for McConnell, they were voting for the Democrat, that Hillary thanks them. among other things.
Oh yea, Holder thanks us, Soros thanks us, Axelrod thanks us. Can’t forget those. Then there were all the meme pictures.
We took a lot of heat. Oh how the lesser evils did throw themselves on the floor kicking and screaming! And isn’t it funny that going back 3 elections now how amnesia sets in every single time about it? SHOCKER! NONE OF THEM REMEMBER anything of the sort!
Why, it’s almost like it was willful amnesia to get the wholl ball rolling yet AGAIN.
It’s more ‘rewriting’ reality than ignoring it. He knows full well what the truth is. He just doesn’t like it after all his efforts on FR to push the GOP.
10% raw sewage is better than 20%
It’s really a much more apt metaphor mathematically or logically
If jebstie (or his equal) gets the nomination, that is the bumper sticker.
You’re still drinking raw sewerage.
And could those red ants please have frick’n lasers on their heads
