Trump will claim that Bevin had to beg, like a dog, for his endorsement and that he only gave it reluctantly because he never truly embraced the Trump way.

I'm okay with O'Keefe "investigating" Epstein's death. Worst case, he successfully smears the Clintons, who are increasingly irrelevant to American politics, and Veritas spends time and resources on this instead of something actually harmful. Best realistic case, he outs some pedophiles. Best case, he outs some pedophiles and gains the unwanted attention of a bunch of very wealthy, very powerful, and very secretive elites and finally faces some consequences for his bullshit. He and his Veritas cronies are seeping pustules on the diseased rear end of democracy, but if they want to kamikaze into an elite pedophile ring, then good on 'em. No matter who loses, we win.

it's worth keeping things in perspective about ky. It's great that bevin's (probably) out, but it's not like it's The Bluenami https://twitter.com/jennifereduffy/status/1191887319453843458 https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1191885224512278529

Milosh posted:Kentuckians splitting the vote and voting for dems and republicans is really bad news for McConnell next year. It’s interesting, but governors don’t have the same partisan stickiness that senators do. Let’s hope that changes. I’d rather see Mitch lose and Dems take the Senate than Trump lose tbh

It's a bummer, but I'll be more than satisfied if Robert Tracci and Bryce Reeves are defeated. The state is still fairly gerrymandered, for example my district is VA 28 stretching from PWC then splitting with half going out to Colonial Beach and the other going west towards Locust Grove.

Doesn't have to be in play, just important that a bunch of congress folks remember that being wildly unpopular has consequences no matter what their little feel good fox-bubble says. Yeah this. If unpopular pols are losing in 45 point swings what does that potentially mean for unpopular senators defending an unpopular president against popular charges Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Nov 6, 2019 |

So let me get this straight: Kentucky changed elections so that governors are elected in the year before presidential elections, favoring GOP in these races. But... The MAGA governor was such an unlikable shithead that people showed up in record numbers to get rid of him. And as a consequence, the new governor can restore voting rights to tens of thousands of black felons, who are about to be uniquely motivated to vote next year? lol if KY goes blue in 2020 (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Nearly everyone in congress on either side of the aisle cares about staying in office far, far more than anything else.
