Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Matt Bevin Getting Whooped?!

Actually,...it's a damn wonder that Matt Bevin ever got elected in the first place. Kentucky is a very conservative place. But it's got a cancer of people who don't understand that the democratic party no longer represents them.

Like I said,...they think it's 1935.

It's just a situation where the big urban centers vote left in Kentucky. The same situation exists all over the country. Kentucky is a small state,...4.6 million,,...and a million of those live in Lexington and Louisville.

Much like Virginia, which turned full on Blue yesterday[even though all of my state and national reps are Republicans]
Looking like a move to greener red pastures is coming sooner than initially expected.

3rd party candidate cost the R's this election.

Again.

Beshear's "plan" is to raise money through gambling,...which means that he doesn't have a plan.

I have seen 3 Republican governors in my lifetime in this state...Nunn, Fletcher, and Bevin and none of them could win re-election. I don't know if this is any indication of what Trump will experience or not in 2020, but it could be. Bevin did a good job, trying to straighten out a mess, but he hurt himself a lot by not knowing how to handle the criticism.......just like Trump. The telling thing here is that every other Republican won their state office, meaning that a lot of GOP voters did not vote for Bevin. The trouble with electing a businessman as governor or President, is that are not dealing with other businessmen, but other politicians, who only see things one way......the political way.

I really thought Bevin would win, just as thought our county would reject the nickel increase in property tax, and I was wrong on both accounts.

Kentucky state run lottery games began back in 1989 when all state government level offices were held by Democrats and touted then as a big boon for state budgets, especially, "it's for the kids", education.

Personally I didn't see a huge amount of campaigning for Beshear. At least not in south central KY, which is a Republican enclave anyway, so that might explain why I didn't see much.

I think a whole lot of people in KY held their noses and voted for Beshear. This was more of an anti-Bevin referendum than anything else. Party affiliation was secondary.

Anymore I think it’s the left funding these 3rd party candidates. They know from historical data, 3rd party candidates pull votes from the republican candidate.

from what i have been told ,but dont know how true .That lotto money they started getting in 1989 was not extra money to pay for the schools ,what ever they got off of the lotto to pay on schools ,they just reduced the same amount of tax dollors they were paying on the schools ,and using that tax money for other things than the school and kids ,so just wound up with same amout of money spent ,but coming out of different pocket ,so it was explained to me

From my other post on the subject: The sooner we all come to the realization the republic is lost, the sooner you can make plans to hunker down and hopefully live the rest of your days without the government taking all your assets to pay off the great unwashed, which constitutes AT LEAST 50% of the population. Virginia is now gone as well, as is California and Arizona, all three were pretty much R states. Texas is next...

Look at this map, Looks like a microcosm of the entire US , yet the R still lost. Why? because between the immigrant invasion and democrats, they are outfucking us. period,
