My mind is far from hopeful, FRiend.
The whole thing certainly stinks, and we are all getting screwed by the elites in our own party, that is for sure. Still, we need to fight them within the party.
Open primaries or not, but there was no conservative groundswell for Bevins, and many here talked and didn't do anything to help him.
Serious minded conservative folk need to step up to the plate and do better, don't you think?
40% of the voters voted for Bevin. Only 60% voted for the incumbent, who also happens to be minority leader. I think conservatives did fine. Most of the republican party is the 'lesser evil' country club types. They will never go for a conservative in a primary. They would much rather play it safe.
That's why we have a liberal government today, that keeps on growing and spending. Because both parties are full of liberals.

I think it will only take a small percent of KY conservatives who McConnell
trashed and then bragged about crushing staying home and McConnell
will be joining Trent Lott’s Lobbying Firm.
If McConnell loses he will only have himself to blame for trashing the
very same voters he now needs to win.
We can win our other senate races, rid ourselves of McConnell and be
just fine.
