I expect he'll lose in the general. He didn't win any conservative votes by publicly declaring war on conservatism.

And from what I hear, he only won by 6 points last time. A lot of fine voters have been kicked in the head by McConnell. They won't turn out for him this time. He's made a lot of conservative enemies.

If I were a Kentucky resident ... I'd immediately begin to organize a write-in campaign for Bevin in the general election. Grimes is going to beat McConnell. Getting enough write-in votes for Bevin to make the news cycle would drive the message firmly home in that wake. Republicans can't win without conservatives.
