Beshear is certainly no hillbilly. His corrupt father was governor twice. He squeaked in for multiple reasons, but the two biggest are his baby face looks and the family political dynasty here. I call his father Papa Doc Beshear and him Baby Doc Beshear. Most illiterate younger people have no idea what I am referencing. Both are corrupt far leftist authoritarians who present themselves as moderates. NOT true. But they are successful at it.
