Brownback is the least popular in the country, with a 26-65 approval rating. He still got re-elected. Bevin likely will as well.

...if the Republican Party even still exists in 2019.

Figures Kentucky would get some buyer's remorse. It doesn't matter, though. Bevin will still win re-election.

What if Andy Beshear runs?

He'd win.

The State Legislature is trying to change Statewide elections to Presidential years, is it not? That cold really help Andy Beshear.

A few lawmakers wanted to do it. It might help Democrats by increasing turnout, but it might help Republicans by bringing in more national money.

It occurred to me after posting that, by moving the Gubernatorial election to the Presidential year, Gubernatorial candidates would get linked to the national party, which might well be a bad thing. Does anyone know if Democratic Senate candidates have faired any better in Presidential years?

In 2004 and 2008, the Democrats nearly pulled off upsets, so yes.

He's sort of a Clinton/DLC type, not really a progressive.

The legislation he's helped get passed in CT is very progressive:

Didn't he allow Paul Vallas to destroy the Bridgeport school system?

Because he is so extreme, and corrupt too.
