With it looking like Republican Gov. Matt Bevin suffered a narrow defeat in Kentucky last night, blue-checks are trying to turn that into a negative for President Donald Trump:
So @realDonaldTrump and @GovMattBevin said that #KYGov was referendum on impeachment -- and did everything in their power to make it so. Remember that tomorrow when they try to tell us otherwise. And keep it in mind when you see @SpeakerPelosi smiling.

And Bevin’s loss is also bad news for Mitch “Cocaine” McConnell:
My friends in the Resistance:
We've been through a lot these past years. Many ups/downs. But here's something for all of us to treasure: think of how Mitch McConnell, with an 18% approval, looks at the Beshear returns in Kentucky right now. You can almost feel his stomach sink

Um, are the out of their ever-loving minds? Here’s how voting in Kentucky REALLY went last night for the GOP:
Quick review of the margins in those races:#KYGov: D+0.5
KY AG: R+15.4
KY Ag Com: R+19.6
KY Auditor: R+14.6
KY SecState: R+4.4
KY Treasurer: R+21.4

The most important of those races was probably Daniel Cameron’s win in the Attorney General’s race:
It’s really strange that libs aren’t talking about this, right?
If a Republican wins a state AG race for the first time in 70 years and a Republican also loses a Governors race in KY maybe it’s about the candidates and not a referendum on the President. It’s embarrassing I have to remind people of this.

Cameron is referred to as a “young protégé of U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell,” so maybe Mitch isn’t in trouble after all:
Bevin in trouble, but KY just elected its first black AG — first Republican AG in decades. lex18.com/news/decision-…

And let’s take a look at the Trump effect:
Bevin had a 30% approval rating, Trump showing up for a rally got him to ~50% of the vote. That's amazingcourier-journal.com/story/news/pol…

Bevin barely won the primary
Trump took the least popular governor in America and made him a contender. Incredible

Dems can pretend this isn’t the case, but at their own risk:
No one energizes our base like @realDonaldTrump.
In Kentucky, the governor was down 17 points.
President Trump helped lift the entire ticket, winning 5 of 6 statewide races so far!

And we’ll see what happens in Louisiana next week:
Our big Kentucky Rally on Monday night had a massive impact on all of the races. The increase in Governors race was at least 15 points, and maybe 20! Will be in Louisiana for @EddieRispone on Wednesday night. Big Rally!
