True but maybe what it is, isn't quite what you think it is. Republicans have a 29 to 9 majority in the Senate and a 61 to 39 majority in the House. The new Governor will have to get by those guys first. 7 out of 8 statewide races went to Republicans yesterday so 2020 isn't exactly a lock sure flip for Dem's future hopes either. Further, those 28 thousand libertarian votes that tipped the scales won't be around at that time to wreak havoc. I will say that I just do not understand the reasoning behind conservatives and independents voting libertarian. Why the dodge? I mean, just go ahead and vote Democrat.

But you're right to say that Bevin should have won. His mouth contributed to his pending loss, but the things he said weren't exactly spoken in a vacuum. A lot of nasty things have been said by a lot of Kentucky politicians since 2016.

Then I guess the can will be kicked back down the road again and this time both parties can share blame.

I would like to see some changes in the pension system to make it solvent as well as some new funding. That will take the governor-elect and the republican controlled legislature to work together. If Beshear can prove he is not involved with the vitriolity of nationwide politics something may get done.

Same thing happened in national election. Gary Johnson carried votes for two bad candidates.

I have to believe all these bad things we hear these days are because we have access to them. Constant news cycle and social media has given the American citizen the real dirty business of politics. Unfortunately, the sentiments have spilled into daily life.
