    That's great. Bevin was horrible.

    What Kentucky has done to their retirement system (and to the poor bastards who worked for the state for decades) should land some people in jail.

    Thoughts and prayers for the Trumpist klan. They held a klan meeting in -- appropriately enough, Rupp Arena -- last night.
    Looks like it might not be enough.
    Of course, Kentucky has had a history of electing Democrats for governor one year and Republicans for president a year later. I'm not about to believe this means the Trumpists will lose an SEC state. But it is nice just once to see them lose on some level.

    Boy was that a nice surprise. I am sorry for all the awful things I have said and thought of Kentucky.

    Pretty good chance that both the house and senate in Virginia will be blue by the end of the night.

    The outstanding counties went two-thirds R - not enough. Lead is sixK with scattered ballots and absentees left.

    I believe it was the Rev. Ike who preached "the lack of money is the root of all evil. "

    Pleasant surprise in Kentucky. Bevin ran all-in as Trump. Big turnout. Keep it up.

    Still don’t think McConnell is in danger. But a boy can dream.

    Everyone needs to ignore national polls. All that matters is battleground states. And they’re all tight.

    I’ve seen enough mainline theologians say it is and read enough about it to agree.

    from the stuff I heard from trump fans, it sounded like the rupp arena event was the greatest political rally in history. I wonder if trump throws Bevin under the bus now

    A version of the soon-to-be deceased warden of Shawshank comes to mind. How the hell did we let Donald Trump Trump get the best of us?

    Of course he does. Because he's Trump.
