He can't, because the Commonwealth revoked that power. The Commonwealth voters will elect, and guess who'll win? Whoever Beshear doesn't endorse.
Nope. Legislature says Beshear/governor has pick between three they nominate. But, Beshear says he won't abide & will challenge legality in court. Replacement election can't happen till Nov. 2026.

Or they could get another candidate besides Kari Lake..she sucks, pretty simple

She put zero effort into fundraising and wanted everyone else to do it for her
 
We have to get the Mitch and Lindsey wing out of the decision making to do that. Pubs probably lost 2 Senate seats and several house seats because the old school Pubs refused to work on the presidents agenda and just did what they always did.
Dems way outspent Pubs in congress races. They didn't have Trump's recognition. Perhaps he could have spent more time campaigning for them.
 
You don't think it's so slow because they want to keep adding in ballots after the election??? Are you really seriously thinking that they aren't cheating at this point? LOL.
No. Yes. Pubs wouldn't win any seats there if they knew how to cheat. Remarkable that you believe Pubs would win all 435 Congress seats were it not for Dim cheating.

I missed the Legislature's change this Summer from governor appointment to special election only. Do wonder if Beshear will challenge it.
Challenge it how? I guess in theory to the (liberal) Kentucky Supreme Court, but how could they overturn a clear Legislative prerogative? It's their call, and they made it. The viable challenge was from Beshears veto, but it was nuked. It's a done deal.
 
i live 30 mi from oxford and 50 mi from springfield. used to go to oxford in high school and drink beer in the bars. they were very lax about checking id’s back then when all the students were there
**as i recall the only alcohol served in the bars was 3.2% beer
Sounds like you near near Lebanon or Springboro. When Ohio had 3.2% bars, you only needed to be 18. Drove across the river often to Clifton/UC area while home from UK. But Feds made it age 21 everywhere & no more 3.2%.

I've never understood the fascination with Kari Lake. She's f***ing awful. I could not believe they were running her again. They could have found someone to win that. She needs to go the hell away.

That it violates the state Constitution. Will he succeed? Beats me. But he'll try. Regardless, I doubt Mitch leaves before 2026 elections.

But you could still drink in Ohio bars at 18 in the 90s- you just had to get someone over 21 to buy the drinks. Which was very easy as I can attest to. I don't know if you can now.
 
Term limits are a must going forward and that goes for the Supreme Court as well. Age limits too.
Must means 2/3 vote in both house (not happening) or constitutional convention called by 3/4 of states (not happening).

What's your plan?

Well, you could drink in some Lex & NKy bars & I presume Lv in the 60's at 18 & select ones even younger. Alexandria had several places. Fake ID's were easy - no picture.

Arizona is a swing state and it's not like she got her ass kicked either time, both losses were like 1%. Maybe a more popular candidate could've won, maybe not. Trump is 2 for 3 there, but that's Trump. Not everyone else necessarily can ride his momentum.

You could also in the 90s. I actually think you can still in Ohio, but I don’t know for sure.

I was corrected about the recent change again.
 
??????????????
If the Arizona Republicans put McCain's daughter up for Senator, she'd probably win. She's very political so it's only a matter of time before she runs. And you, Mr. VH Net, would surely be delighted if she does, and wins. She's a Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol, Zelensky Republican, which is precisely your preferred kind.
 
It's unfathomable to me, the bitterness that some Republicans have for Donald Trump. The GOP would be cooling their heels in the morgue if it weren't for him.

Guess it all just comes down to him getting in the way of their money-making con games and/or, they're terrified of having an outsider poking around in their backyards because he might find one of the bodies.

I'll tell you though, I've never been as disgusted with a Kentucky politician as I am right now with Mitch McConnell.

I worked hard on his campaign in 1984, and I appreciate his efforts, getting a ton of Trump judges through, AND cock-blocking Garland/deciding to wait until after a new POTUS was elected (shew, he took a ton of flack for that) but other than that, he seems to be primarily concerned with kissing the Dems asses and padding his offshore account.
