Bevin ran a poor campaign and argued for a toll bridge on the main interstate over the Ohio River to Cincinnati, that was lethal to his campaign.
But the other five statewide offices all went to the GOP. To include a shiny new pro-life Attorney General. There is a lot of brightside to the KY results.
Who runs on “toll bridge” !??! I understand that MIGHT be necessary but no one wants that (of any party). What a dope.
And there’s the story the MSM doesn’t want you to hear. The GOP in KY has a deep, deep bench; plenty of viable candidates for the next governor’s race in 2023, and to maintain a stranglehold on 90% of the statewide offices—and the state legislature.
KY’s new attorney general is a star in the making. Don’t follow Kentucky politics very much, and had not heard of Daniel Cameron before. But if you want to see the first African-American governor of the Commonwealth, he will be n the AG’s office for the next four years. And I hope he can give Andy Beshear a taste of the harassment campaign he mounted against Matt Bevin.
And it’s not just KY; GOP did the same thing in MS, and in the “jungle primary” in Louisiana last month. Swept the down-ballot races, and with a little more help from DJT, they can flip the governor’s mansion in Baton Rouge in a couple of weeks.
