If you look at all the people elected, the Republican Party won 5/6 positions. The governor waged a war on teachers and other members of the state that voted republican in past elections. This was a message to him that showed Bevin that his personal actions have consequences.

In my blue state of New Jersey. Republicans flipped 3 important seats. I think we need to look at it across the board. Also Arizona bites NO for a sanctuary city.

Every little mistake is going to count very harshly. No more endorsing candidates like Roy Moore just to stick it to the establishment.

The problem in Bama wasn't voters backing Moore to stick it to establishment, it was the establishment spending millions in primary to keep conservative Brooks from getting nomination-propping up Moore in areas where Brooks leading Strange. Moore was the byproduct of that.

Well, you have to understand KY politics. Since 1931, only four of the twenty elected governors have been from the Republican party, including Bevin. It is a red state federally but in local and state elections people tend to vote Democrat. It was actually a good night in KY.

People fly over KY & never pay a bit of attention to us. Now everybody is an expert. Republicans did not lose the state. Won every other statewide office & have a super majority in Legislature. Bevin was just unlikable & basically a jerk. Having a Dem gov is not unusual In KY

Off odd year elections for state and local government are not a predictor of the the 4 year national referendum cycle of a Presidential election,they are the most diverse.
