looks like Kentucky just elected a democrat governor over the republican incumbent who Trump campaigned HARD for.

The campaign is equired by law to release information on the contest and who all the winners are. They are refusing to do so. Seems like a weird stance to take if you actually had the 15 plus winners meals they claim.

And these were not single winners per event they each had a group of winners. Claiming 100s of people who donated money to Trump did not show up and the campaign refused to legally disclose that is some absurdist level arguments by you.

But you are not a Trump defender/supporter.

Which is interesting because McCarthy and others with the Trump party from congress would not be allowed to accept those seats as a gift without prior written authorization.

Lol no. Not even a little bit. Most instances of Presidents in public do not actually lead to boos let alone deafening boos. I have been at sporting events where many presidents have attended and booing was never a thing of any substance.

You are a ridiculous person.

I'm surprised that there isn't a bigger reaction to Beshear winning the gubernatorial race in Kentucky. Kentucky is full of blue-collar white voters. Trump carried Kentucky by 30 percentage points in 2016.

*predator slowly turns head towards Mitch McConnell*

One of the questions I have is: is this just Bevins being a particularly bad candidate/Beshear being a particularly good one? I suppose when you're winning a state-wide race in a state Trump carried by 30 it can be both about the candidates and still tell you a lot about the trend nationally. I'm not sure just how surprised I should be, though, or how much I should extrapolate. I also don't know a lot about how Beshear's campaign compares to the 2020 presidential candidates, which would be interesting.

why?

I suspect it's both. Bevins apparently tied himself to Trump, but he also was in trouble for reasons that were more Kentucky-specific. It seems like he ended up on the losing side of a long-running dispute with the teachers' union.

Boos at sporting events, dinners, is that all you got.
Russia, Ukraine, pussy grabbing, golf, impeachment, tax returns. family business. etc, etc, - it isn't going to matter.
Trump will win again in 2020 (easily). Get ready to ***** and moan for 4 more years or until Trump gets bored and steps down...

Lol redbuck already preparing for Trump potentially resigning and begging for a pardon as "getting bored"

I feel like Trump is nearly guaranteed to turn on Giuliani soon. Giuliani would be a dangerous enemy for Trump, but Trump never seems to care about that sort of thing.

Mr. Trump has a tendency to turn on people when they can no longer be counted on to be Yes Men.

There was a big swing in the coal country counties of eastern Kentucky. A lot of people are probably wondering where all those coal mining jobs are that Trump promised. A lot of them also rely on Medicaid expansion which Bevin-Trump was trying to take away from them. I guess cultural conservatives' support for Trump's ideology of cruelty and deception doesn't extend to when they're its victims rather than its mindless cheering onlookers at Trump rallies.

On a scale of 1 to Russian Collusion, how hype are you guys about this Ukraine thing as being "the one" that takes Trump down?

I'm a little checked out, but I get the sense that we're not quite at the level of excitedness like being ready to nominate Robert Mueller for Sainthood like it was during the Russian Collusion investigation, but we're pretty high up there.

Temper expectations, gents. I don't get liberal newsfeeds injected directly into my veins like some of you, but my understanding is that the actual parties involved have already dismissed the claim being used as the foundation for this inquiry.

Only 363 days to go before Bernie the GOAT starts preparing my student loan payoff check. Please mail to: Inso0, PO BOX 498327, Milwaukee WI 53203. Thanks!

ya its almost like campaigning on reforms that actually help the working and middle class like m4a could scoop up a ton of voters. dems and media are like nah, lets go with republican lite Biden or Pete.

I do think redbuck is correct and Trump gets it but thats just bc hes gonna face Biden who is proly a worse candidate than even Hilary. no way he beats Bernie and yesterdays elections are a strong indication with all of the scary socialists winning.

So much winning!

Inso, no need to rely on the liberal media, you can read transcripts and see that a state department employee gave sworn testimony that he informed a ukranian official the aid was contingent on an announcement of an investigation, or that another state department employee gave sworn testimony that giuliani demanded any such statement include mention of Burisma. It's a lot to keep up with, so probably simplest for you to just browse fox news occasionally so you'd know to switch from "no quid pro quo!" To screeching about vague supposed violations of due process. Or just take the Lindsey Graham approach of covering your ears and singing "lalala I CANT HEAR YOU!"

Sigh....we can go over all this stuff (what are polls, what are models etc). But I don't see the point until you admit that your claim

was not only totally made up but 100% contradicted by the mountain of data we have on the subject.

Agree.
Trump is not what most people are used to in a politician and that is both good and bad.
Many people will hold their nose and vote for Trump and never admit it, but that's what will happen.
As I mentioned above, Trump will possibly step down during next term because of boredom - I mean, how many time can even he make America great before it gets boring??

This might be the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Bevin did tie himself to trump, but he went insanely hard to the paint against kicking the can down the road on teacher's pensions. He said some things about teachers that trump himself would have been proud to say.

Andy Beshear basically ran on the campaign that he'd make sure tax payers were still on the hook for teachers pension, allow adults to make the decision to gamble with their own money & legalize pot. I don't care about the pot and am happy about the pro-gambling stance, but the way state gov't closes their eyes and pretend pensions aren't a problem is rage inducing.

the university of alabama is threatening to rescind and ban students/fans from their reserved seating in future bama games if they protest at the alabama vs LSU game.

im sure we will have all the standard right wingers here up in arms about this obvious abuse of free speech on college campuses.

It is ****ed up...but

seems like a bit of spin you/the hill added. I was seriously about to be up in arms, till I read about it...and it's false a narrative.

By future bama games they actually said they would be banned for their game against THE western carolina catamounts. So in other words the only punishment is not being able to sit in their assigned seats to a game that nobody really wants to go to anyways.
