Bevin lost the debate, and Bevin is a weak, ineffective Gov like Ernie Fletcher. Greg Stumbo and Beshear can both win next month. Leader McConnell can very well lose, as well. KY is only Lean R at the presidential level. Statewide Dems have won
Hey look!
Somebody else on this forum who knows that Ernie Fletcher existed!
I thought I was the only one!
Hey the rest of you dumbasses who don't know about him: He was the last Republican (and one of only a few in history) to win a Kentucky Governor race before Bevin. He won in 2003 by MORE than Bevin did in 2015 (you know, the same year ANDY BESHEAR won a statewide race for AG) -- he won by about 10 points. Then he was DESTROYED by, get this, Steve BESHEAR in 2007 by about 17 points. Steve BESHEAR went on to win the 2011 race by over 20 points. This all occurred WELL after Kentucky was a solid R state at the Presidential and Senate level.
And you know what Fletcher and Bevin have in common? Both were/are EXTREMELY unpopular despite the state's national R lean. Except, get this, Bevin is MORE unpopular than Fletcher ever was! And almost every poll shows him losing!
Anyone who points to Kentucky's national TrEnD as evidence that Bevin is InEvItAblE should have their license to analyze or predict any election at any level ever again stripped from them until the end of time. They clearly know F--K ALL about the MASSIVE partisan gap that has LONG existed between Kentucky state and federal elections. Either that or they just don't care because, "LoL StUpId ReDnEcKs GoNna VoTe GoP No MaTtEr WhAt."
At this point I am honestly hoping that Beshear wins decisively more to stick it to the smug 16-year-old morons here who think they know two s--ts of anything about Kentucky than I do for the wellbeing of my own state. The latter would certainly be nice, but I honestly just want those a-holes to be f--ked more than anything else at this point.
We're on the same team here, I hope Beshear wins next week as much as you do. But 2007 and 2011 were before the majority of Kentuckians and many other red states got addicted to the methamphetamine of politics, Donald Trump. I really fear that this will be a Tennessee/North Dakota 2018 redux bEcAuSe tRuMp eNdOrSeS bEvIn!!!!
