Why?

Matt Bevin is a provocateur. He's like a slightly more professional but much less likable version of Trump. That's why people hate him but that's also why he'll get re-elected.

Because Kentucky voters are going to realize that they actually don’t like obnoxious rich Republican assholes in executive power. Oh wait.

For anyone deluding themselves into thinking Bevin can lose:

He's going to get destroyed in those red districts that he kept to a respectable margin in 2015, and Louisville isn't going to come close to countering that.

I am one of the largest proponents on the forum that 2016 was a continuation of inevitable trends. 2018 confirmed that with high turn out.

However the thing is that not every election will have a counter wave that 2018 did. They may not be any counter wave at all this November.

It is hardly inevitable that Beshear will be destroyed in the districts he kept to a respectable loss in 2015 and it is hardly inevitable that Bevin will win.

The people who say, "A [party] will never in [state] again!" may be in for a surprise in a few years.

The R Senator who represents Bullitt and part of Jefferson endorsed Beshear today

Honestly this is starting to give me Kelly-Kobach vibes a tiny bit. Still not convinced that Bevin goes down in the end, but this is playing awfully similar.

Only problem is that Kentucky is Trump +36 instead of Trump +20.

Not only is it Trump +30, not +36, but the Democratic tradition is far stronger and the republican has a lower Approval.

I was considering posting this but I didn't want to jinx anything, but I gotta to say this brings a valid opinion up.

I wouldn’t call it a KS-GOV 2018 redux. There will be no Greg Orman in this race, KS is actually trending Democratic, KY's demographics are far less favorable to Democrats than KS's demographics, etc.

Yeah I think this will probably be a close one lf beshear wins it'll be by around 1 to 3 points and if bevin wins it'll be within 5

I went to Fancy Farm today. Beshear definitely has enthusiasm in Western Kentucky. I’ve only seen his signs. Bevin was booed repeatedly and throughout his speech. Yelling at him was a blast. Lots of signs among the Republicans for McConnell’s primary challenger.

Maybe not actively booing, but almost nobody cheered Bevin. Some Democrats referenced Robert Goforth.

When you say "democrats", do you mean registered democrats, a lot of whom voted for Trump, or Democratic activists?

The Democrats that referenced Goforth were the candidate speakers. By and large, the attending democrats in the audience were members of local teachers unions, labor unions, and other advocacy groups. In fact, though, there were a few cheering Beshear supporters in Trump hats. The went wild for things like medical marijuana and suing Bevin.  SIDE NOTE — If you wanna see the most #populist son of a b!tch of all time, look up Robert Conway’s speech.

Reminder that polls always overestimate Democrats in Kentucky and Appalachia in the summer
