KY-GOV: Bevin reportedly considering withdrawing

[Bidenworth2020]

The KY House is 63% Republican and the KY Senate is 71% Republican. Clearly whatever residual strength Democrats had outside their base there is rapidly dwindling.

And as clearly - without running candidates with crossover (far beyond "base") appeal Democrats can't win statewide. Exactly because this reason.

Kentucky is too far gone no matter who the Democrats run. It was a miracle they held on as long as they did, but their luck has finally run out.

Yeah, that's why Democrats picked up 8 seats in the state Senate this year that Trump won with 80%+. I really wouldn't be so confident, if I were you.

Inb4 IceSpear says "HES TRYING TO APPEAL TO MUH RACIST HICKS"

lol . Picking a black women than a hispanic man. The dems might have a slight chance if they go after the hispanic man. They could atleast win Elliot then.

What evidence is there that Elliot County is MORE racist than any other rural county in KY?

The primary profession in Elliott is probably prison guard, I don't know if that makes them more or less racist than their neighbors.  Though EKY is filled with prisons.

Just saying, Elliott enjoys this pedestal of being a "Deplorable™" place on this forum, and it consistently receives more negative attention from lefties and independents than other rural Kentucky counties that have been Republican WAY longer and, you know, didn't vote for a Black man twice.  I find that completely nonsensical, LOL.

I haven't seen this hate? But if your point is true, it is probably it is the most recent to snap away from dems, and lefties are still mad.
