KY-GOV 2019: Is Matt Bevin in big trouble?

[GlobeSoc]

To say that people here hate Matt Bevin would be an understatement. People are itching for 2019.

Just wait until Monday when the Republicans expand the sales tax to cover food. You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Yes, and that could trickle down-ballot in the state legislature this year.

Ugh, are we really going to have to go through another few years of Democrats pretending they have a shot at beating Mitch McConnell?

I guess Bevin easily winning re-election will dispel with that fiction though.

Ah yes, Matt Bevin the famous tactician. He understands the complete drought of downballot democratic support, the overwhelmingly republican national environment, the lack of anyone who could be remotely angry at his antics over Medicaid and the teachers strikes, the extremely weak democratic bench with no row officers who could challenge him, and most crucially garnering one of the highest approval ratings in the country.


In fact, he's such a strong candidate that he'll win Louisville by 20 points, Lexington by 50 points, and anyone who dislikes him in rural areas will be immediately executed.


Anyone who doesn't see this is a complete imbecile, a ing moron. I applaud you for your unbiased, clearheaded analysis of the situation.

PS. I actually like IceSpear when he's not talking about Appalachia, he's the sort of person I would want in my war room if I was leading the D trip or a similar organization, even if I don't necessarily agree with his takes all of the time

and by like Icespear I mean he's one of the best posters in the site in terms of understanding political dynamics, along with TT, TD, MT Treasurer, Virginia, and Mondale
