I haven't read the entire thread but has nobody made the connection that Bevin is unpopular because he's trying to take away people's healthcare? Downballot nobodies can get away with this because they weren't the public face of dismantling a popular government program.
People are acting like Bevin is unpopular because he's ugly or he smells bad or something like that. He's unpopular for a reason! And that reason is a thing that also makes Donald Trump unpopular! Bevin doesn't operate in a vaccuum - he is the way he is because he's a Republican and Republicans think poor people shouldn't have subsidized health care. So does Donald Trump. So do many Republicans. Similar things will happen in 2020.
Nope, haven't really seen the take that it's
because he's trying to take away people's healthcare
