Trump approval in these states is very high according to recent polls, but these polls also show governor races tomorrow that are pretty close.

The dem in Kentucky, beshear, is actually leading in a few polls.

Why is this happening? Why are so many maga soldiers crossing over to vote for Jim hood in MS and Andy Beshear in KY?

Horrible GOP candidate in Mississippi. Tate Reeves is a grifter with a punchable face.

Bad and very shitty GOP candidates that repulses "MAGA soldiers" as you said.

Bevin is very unpopular and Tate Reeves is GOPe shill with one hell of a punchable face.

In Mississippi its because the GOP nominee hurt some people's feelings. He's a pretentious prick and to some people that's the worse thing you can be.

I don't think it will be an issue. What to watch in Mississippi is if the 420 candidate siphons off enough joke votes and protest votes to send it to the House of Representatives.

Polling 3-4% in Mississippi

Emphasis on punchable.

He's like that nerd who suddenly think he's hot shite and takes it to a very douchey level.

Bevin would be up solidly if he would keep his mouth shut. He tries to sound like Trump but can’t pull it off.

Still think he wins though and I’ll be voting for him.

Jim Hood looks like something out of a 90s disney movie.

This X's a million

His Dem opponent Jim Hood is probably one of the few Blue Dog Democrats left in America. He has a commercial with him shooting a gun and with his hunting dog Buck. He is trying to come off as "I'm one of you" to moderate voters.

Also Reeves was terrible as Lt. Gov with Public Education refusing teacher pay raises year in and year out and cutting funding to MAEP. He also isn't a friend to rural hospitals.

I think Tate ends up winning, but there couldn't have been a worse candidate that the Republicans could have chosen.

Yes and no.

Statewide elections have a hell of a lot of strings attached to them. You can't win those without owing special interests favors and you have to ask yourself what kind of special interests does Jim Hood owe favors to? And can you tolerate those kind of favors to get rid of Tate?

Everything I've seen on Jim Hood says he's practically a clone of JBE here in Louisiana and that's high spending and shelling out legacy lawsuits to ambulance chasers looking to make a quick buck to the detriment of the state economy and job growth.

Phil Bryant should've done everything he could to persuade Tate to not run and to find an alternative to the medicaid and high tax RINOs in Waller and Foster.

That he didn't do that is a failure of leadership from him.

Some folks call Hood the Mullet man because he had a serious mullet for years.

Bevin = Bobby Jindal. Bevin just fricked up earlier in office (took away teachers pensions and said something shitty about little kids freezing).

The better question is, why do the GOP in deep-red states keep putting up horrible candidates?

Everyone does understand that CA and NY each lose about 50k Libtards each year that move to red states and vote the same dip-shitty way they did before, right?

Muh teachers unions in Kentucky is the reason. Last year there was a bunch of uproar because Bevin didn't want to raise taxes to meet the teachers unions demands.

The same reason Mitt Romney got trounced by a guy who was unpopular. Nobody liked him.

Ky usually votes for repub for pres and dem for gov.

Slick Willie was the last dem pres that won in ky.

Bevin is just a shitty candidate.
Almost every time he opens his mouth, he looks like a fool.

I wish Waller had defeated Reeves in the primaries. That thumb-faced, uncharismatic nerd needs to be stuffed in a locker.
