Would be interesting to know if a sitting gov ever did that poorly in the primary and still won.
The only reason we've had Democratic governors is because of the two major primarily democrat voting bases in Louisville and Lexington. outside of that the vast majority of the state is red. It's exactly the problem our country would have if we got rid of the Electoral College.^We’ve had plenty of Democratic governors, though. KY is red, but it’s not far right. People can win on moderate ideas.
And if teachers really had the power and are as united as they say they are there would have been a massive overhaul last November, there wasn't. They're loud and they get news coverage but they're not swaying votes in a meaningful way.
KY has only had two Republican governors since 1919, so not that red.The only reason we've had Democratic governors is because of the two major primarily democrat voting bases in Louisville and Lexington. outside of that the vast majority of the state is red.

Beshear has done nothing but whine and complain for the last 3+ years. He's backed the teachers union and their "sick" out, so he's got their support. He was supposedly going to investigate gas price concerns but of course like everyone before him that tried that, we never heard a thing. I suspect Bevin will win, but like others have said it will be brutal.
Again, because the two major population bases voted them in.KY has only had two Republican governors since 1919, so not that red.

If beshear wins we are phckedWow what a day. We lose Jaden McDaniels to a garbage basketball program like Washington. And then to top things off. A power hungry, entitled, despicable, little P.O.S. like Andy Beshear wins the democratic primary for governor.
I will say one area I don't agree with Bevin on, is that Kentucky needs expanded gaming and legalization of Marijuana in some capacity. Both of those could go a long way towards solving the pension crisis. And I say that as somebody who doesn't partake or gamble outside of a lottery ticket now and then.
He had public support, people know major changes have to be made, but threw it all away with stupid comments.All Bevin has to do is shut the f*** up. We shall see.
Not a chance.All Bevin has to do is shut the f*** up. We shall see.

Not a chance.
And even my friends who think Donald Trump hung the moon can't stand Matt Bevin. He's an odd duck.
Rack every word of this.Rocky Adkins would have beaten Bevin. TS.
Beshear I'm honestly not sure. People already hate their pettiness and arguing and it's only going to get worse over the next 5 months. Voter apathy is going to lead to low voter turn out and I guarantee you the majority of people who vote in EVERY election are straight ticket Republican.
