I don’t understand how people can allow the gun-grabbing Democrats to have power. But urban areas continue to vote for free stuff, open borders and then wonder why some Americans are still out of work.
Let’s face it - some of these people who voted Democrat simply are too stupid to count to 10 or balance a checkbook.
RE: I don’t understand how people can allow the gun-grabbing Democrats to have power
The Libertarians were the ones who help spoil the results.
It’s true that Libertarians don’t like social conservatives. But the reality is the GOP in Congress never met a Planned Parenthood abortion bill funding bill that they didn’t like. The establishment is firmly in control of the beltway GOP and social conservatism is the last thing on their minds.
“What triggers a recount in KY?”
a Republican win
LOL! New Jersey!?
OK, well you can throw your vote away if you like to someone who will not win any office and change zero outcomes. Do what you will.
But KY isn’t NJ by a long shot and Bevin is better than any NJ leftist commie any day.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.More like the collaborating party. Or (as others have put it) the Uniparty, which seems to fit better.
— Communist Goal #15
The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, “conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done.” A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The “underlying philosophy” of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that “if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.”
Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State. …

every other republican did much better in the 4 counties that cost Bevin- Jefferson, Fayette, Kenton, and Campbell,
Affluent suburbs? Does Bevin’s potential loss has the stench of soccer dad/mom on it?
Jill Stein might know.
In the meantime, Bevin should follow the lead of that obese gap-toothed black woman in Georgia: refuse to concede and tell anyone that will listen that he really won the election.
‘Maybe some of the others who said exactly the same thing I said could share their thoughts as well.’
third parties are a fact of political life; they have been with us for years, and will be going forward...it is at their own peril if major candidates dismiss their influence, and it is necessary that they thread the vote needle so as to not neglect voter opinion...
Hilary Clinton is the prime example of someone who neglected the fringe of the political zeitgeist...
School systems like Jefferson County!
Yes, the public school system played a big part.
Not only in the brainwashing de-education of the students. But also in taking their students to protest our Governor.
Of course the Beltway noose is a major problem. I’m just speaking generalities. We could split hairs from now to doomsday but these OVERALL thinking patters are what determines individual races.
Because they want three things that electing Republicans won't get them.
He’s a baby killing, queer loving, Confederate monument hating RAT. Plus he’s a big time gun grabber and he’s going to win in state that elected all republicans tonight,except this soy boy POS. Women and the welfare crowd made him the next governor. I’ll bet he didn’t get 25% of the White male vote in the state, but of course pro abortion women and freeloaders voted for him.
They sure are. Libertarians are always in the picture. I believe most data suggests that L candidates siphon from R candidates more than D candidates. L’s tend to only cost R’s elections because the data I’ve seen suggests most L’s would have voted R in other cases.
It’s a complicated picture.
Well we have minorities that vote Dem no matter what. And we got the entitled “gimme a handout” generation wanting socialism.
Country is hanging by a thread and it’s only a matter of time.
Bevin is down by 4700 votes with two precincts out. The 16 precincts that were left in Russell County broke 72% for him.
