All other repubs easily won their races. First gop AG ever.


Bevin is underperforming them by double digits.

What did he do that made so many ky voters angry?

He was his own worst enemy, he called teachers lazy among other things. I honestly thought he'd pull it out, but it looks like people just couldn't hold their noses and vote for him anyway.

What?

This is a state election, not a federal election.

All other Republicans on ballot won big.

Take your hackery out of here. I am looking for legit answers

From what I've gathered:

He promised to cut teacher pensions and healthcare

he delivered on those promises and now he is being ousted.

such a novel concept a politician running on promises then getting ousted.

socially conservative/fiscally progressive (every state in the south)

And it's all on Bevin. He's a sanctimonious prick. I don't know how he got elected in the first place

He fricked it up worse. He’s not popular here. Hated, in fact. Then he made fun of kids in the schools during the arctic blast last year, saying they weren’t tough enough or something. People here don’t know anything about Andy Beshear, they just voted against Bevin for being a super douche.

If someone just watched the news, they would think that 90% of the population are teachers.

90% of the population thinks highly of teachers, and think it’s important they’re supported by their government. Education is important to most states in the country. Crazy.

His dad was the governor. He was constantly taking Bevin to court as Attorney General. He was well know in the state.

Maybe it’s time Republicans stop thinking that any a-hole with an R behind his name is an auto W in the South.


Vitter didn’t lose because of hookers and diapers. He lost cause Bobby Jindal was a piece of shite that fricked the state royally to pass Grover Nordquist’s purity test for higher aspirations.

Roy Moore lost because he tried dating 17 year old’s in his 30’s. And because the average middle of the road voter, even in Alabama, doesn’t want to live in a fundamentalist Christian theocracy.


JBE is prob going to win again because Rispone A) can’t string two sentences together B) was Bobby Jindals biggest supporter


Good Candidates win elections. Bad ones lose them. People vote for the man/woman not national party general Philosophy in local and state elections.

Bevin is a very bad politician that stepped in it too much.
