Reviewing Kentucky's election
What most people outside of Kentucky don't realize is that Republicans swept all the state offices except for governorship. For the for time in 26 years, a Republican won Attorney General in Kentucky. A black conservative Republican beat a career politician, a political democrat hack.What most outside the state also don't realize is that a third party candidate (a libertarian) was involved in the governors race. This libertarian took almost 28,500 of the vote. Most of these nearly 28,500 votes were siphoned from the Republican (Bevin). That's why the democrat won by a little over 5000 votes. (0.4%) I'm sure a recount will be held, but I hear Bevin will have to pay for this recount.
Another little known fact was this Republican wasn't well liked by most people, and only had an approval rating of around 32%. If anything, Trump's rally helped him gain support the night before the election, but not enough to overcome it.
That's the full story, something liberals almost always leave out!
Btw, speaking of Virginia, wasn't Virginia already blue for the most part? Now they have it all. No great lose there!

... .. . libertarian split vote strikes again!!!
The Republicans easily won everything on the election ballet in Kentucky... yet in the Governor Race, when a 3rd party was introduced, it cost the Republicans their Governor seat and they lost... It's obvious that the libertarian 3rd party cost Republicans their Governor seat, there is no other explanation as to why Republicans handily won everything on the ballet, yet lost the Governorship. 3rd party libertarian vote is directly responsible for this loss...
Almost won........Almost won
If shoulda, woulda, coulda
Being nearly successful or accurate is not the same as being successful or accurate; being close to achieving something does not provide any benefit. Close only counts in horseshoes.
One more downer for Trump
You got the TDS part right. I certainly am a TDS person
TDS is an acronym for Trump Derangement Syndrome, a term applied to people who express deep loathing and fear of President Donald Trump.
^^^ You're a very delusional person. This was not a blue wave of any kind!
That was a quote from NPR you goof ball.
We don't speak American. We speak English
Interesting. That tilted the overall result.
