FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andy Beshear has won an endorsement from the Kentucky State Fraternal Order of Police.

Beshear has stressed his record as attorney general in his campaign against Republican Gov. Matt Bevin. Beshear says he has worked with law enforcement on his top goals.

Beshear points to his efforts to prosecute child sex offenders, clear the rape kit backlog, combat human trafficking, stop senior scams and battle the drug epidemic.

The Democratic challenger says he’s committed to fully funding pensions for law enforcement officials, and says he’ll fight for policies to keep communities safe.

Bevin’s campaign says the governor’s support for law enforcement has included protecting funding for training and pushing for better pay for officers.

In reviewing candidates, FOP official Drew Fox says conversations focused on pensions, benefits and officers’ safety.

Note that Democrats rarely win endorsements from police unions and that the national Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Trump in 2016.

This won't make any difference. Beshear is still well on his way to defeat in November. Does anyone really think that Kentucky voters will care about this endorsement?

They care more about the imaginary illegal immigrants from Latin America that will swarm the state if Beshear is elected, as evidenced by Bevin’s effective new ad riling up the racists

Even if quite literally every word you said is true, it’s sad most posters now sound like this in 80% of topics.  This isn’t analysis, regardless of truth.

Go on over to the KY thread. Old School Republican was trying to argue that racism had little to nothing to do with the Republican success in Kentucky in the past decade and then literally the next day Bevin put out a highly racist ad that said Beshear will let the state get overrun with illegals. You can’t make this stuff up lol

I stand by it, the fact is I bet you that ad only probably helps Bevin maybe a little bit. If he wins its cause the KY suburbs are still extremely Republican and the Anti-Coal Direction the Dems have gone in has made the Democrats starting position very weak.

No he’ll win because Republicans know exactly what it is they need to do to win these white aggrieved states: stoke racial resentment and pour gasoline on the fire. It’s worked remarkably well in this part of the country for the past decade, I’ll grant you that

LMAO , if Appalachia was so racist why did they trend D in the 1970s and 1980s while the Deep South Trended Hard R(It was more D relative to the Nation in 1988 compared to 1968).


Face it they changed because of Coal but because so many Partisan Dem Hacks are butt hurt that that they lost a former solid voting bloc they decide to rationalize it by saying they lost it over the fact those voters were racist.


Why is it so hard to believe voters wont vote for a party that wants to destroy the industry the area they live in relies on.

Even if you are naïve (dare I say stupid?) enough to believe that, only about a third of Kentucky can be classified as Appalachia. How do you explain the rurals in the central and western part of the state voting in ever increasing Trumpingrad numbers, exacerbated when the black man became president?

Those parts of KY were Republican years before Obama was even a Senator and lol Central KY voted for HW in 92 and Bob Dole as well and both Bush in 92 and Dole in 96 win KY if not for Perot . So the last time KY would have voted Dem without a spoiler is back in 76 and that would have been the Dems only win in KY since 1956.

The Reagan administration was viewed as anti-union, especially after the crackdown on the air traffic controllers’ strike in 1981. Back then, union membership in Appalachia was quite high so this should easily explain the D trend there at least in that decade. It also explains why Reagan/Bush tended to run well behind their statewide numbers in the Appalachian parts of states like KY, OH, PA and VA.

I know why it trended D , just asking the question rhetorically
