re: Final thoughts on tonight: some disappointing results, but tells you nothing about 2020

What most people didn't notice was that both Bevin and Tate Reeves outperformed their polling tonight, significantly. Reeves was neck-and-neck with Hood in the polls but won comfortably. Bevin is the most unpopular governor in the country, was underwater against Beshear and had just about been left for dead, but only 5,000 votes separate him from Beshear.

If this trend continues, John Bel is history next Saturday. And he's acting like someone who knows it.
