Matt Bevin’s 53 percent to 44 percent victory tonight marks only the second time in 48 years that Republicans have won the Kentucky governor’s race. But Republicans also made history in another way. Bevin’s lieutenant governor running-mate, Jenean Hampton, is now the first African American elected to statewide office ever in the state’s history.

Wait, what? Both the Gov and the Lt Gov are "tea party types"? And the new Lt Gov is a black republican female who served in the Air Force as a captain? No wonder the dems are gnashing their teeth and chewing their tongues. Might be one their worst nightmares. Me likey. Except using the "tea party activist" crap for a headline.

Bevin’s significant victory is a continuation of what happened to the Dems last year in the congressional elections.
I don’t think they know what’s going to hit them next Nov. and they and the MSM bootlickers will be in a total state of shock, as Trump wins by a landslide.

Dang Republicans, got a black person in there before the Dem’s did. And it’s not the first time Republican’s had women or people of color before the dem’s did and they like to call US racist. Geez.

Classy lady. Bravo, Kentucky!
To: rktman
Yes, I have met Lt. Governor-elect Ms. Hampton on a couple of occasions, and she is awesome! Very Constitutional. She is a wonderful success story, born and raised in Detroit, MI, and moved down here to KY after getting out of the Air Force. When the mainstream press ask her about being an African-American woman, she corrects them and says she’s a conservative woman.

“tea party activist”
Can you in any way shape or form compare the Domestic Terror group black lives matter with the Tea party as violent?!?
I maybe Conservative and a little right bent but I just dont see the Tea Party ever being violent.
Such liars the left.
