I have to say, I never thought Kay Ivey would be considered one of the saner Republicans, but here we are.
She's always come across as a bland, Generic R to me. She's in the same wing of the party as Richard Shelby, and is of the same generation as him. And like Shelby, Ivey is a former conservative Democrat.
Like (probably) a million other Alabama's voters. After all - it's not an coincidence, that in the past many Alabama's Democrats spoke of their party as "our (Alabama's) conservative Democratic party..."
And now they are happily away from that demonic-affiliated party.
The End
