Their base simply doesn t come out and vote. i want to stick with what happened in kentucky for a little longer with matt bevin. he s likened to donald trump. he s written about that he s this outsider. he traveled the state in a gold cadillac escalade and ran as a self-funding businessman who couldn t be bought off. he had feuds with reporters and said he was black listing some of their outlets. is there any parallel to be seen with him winning and what s going on with donald trump? of course. outsiders are doing well this year. we see that in the national poll we just discussed, in the state presidential polling that was just discussed. again, it s dangerous to overread these things but matt bevin got crushed by mitch mcconnell. he was his opponent. the now republican senate majority leader. mitch mcconnell said his goal was to crush the tea party, which he did. ....
State which by the way obamacare has been largely successful, signing up a lot of people there. matt bevin tweeted from the bottom of my heart, thank you to all who voted today. we are kentucky. what does this mean? this means the south, look at the south right in you, the only state that will have a democrating he governor is virginia right here. the rest, solidly red. also in the south, phil bryant, incumbent governor of mississippi easily won re-election there. as you noted, a couple interesting ballot mez yoors. ohio voting to be was deciding whether to be the first state in the midwest to legalize marijuana for medicinal use. it voted no. 36% to 64%. it would have also enshrined a monopoly for marijuana growth to a few farms, including one owned by nick lachey. ....
Bevin runs this time, mitch mcconnell is now his friend. bevin runs this time as an outsider, beats jack conway who also lost to rand paul. what the democrats will say is jack conway didn t turn out the african-american vote in jefferson county. the outsider wins. as we talk about is carson up, trump up, can marco rubio and ted cruz surge up in the presidential field? make no mistake about it, voters, especially republican voters are looking for something different and they re willing to broaden their horizons as they look for something different. does that end the conversation? all right, lee. john is right. the question is, when you don t want to read too much into it, it s an off year, odd year, all that, but sometimes there are anomalies. we can look at what was happening on the national level with perry and others. it s still not what we re seeing with trump and now with carson. ....
Impeerically, it has to be true. political science, they have something they look at called tolerances, the space between the extreme and the middle. the gop, the silent majority that has been re-introduced by donald trump is probably misidentified by him as his group. it s probably the main part of the party that we haven t really heard from. do you think some of that is being reflected in this latest poll, these more traditional gop voters who are looking for some people with experience to pop and they saw that with rubio and to a lesser extent with cruz? i think they saw stronger debate performances by rubio and cruz who are also newer faces, yes, they re senators but freshman senators. they can more than a jeb bush or more than a long-term politician, more than maybe even another governor say they re, quote, unquote, new to the system. as cruz and rubio rise up, they ll get more scrutiny. ....
Hard. donald trump is tweeting out every two seconds. this morning he said, you should quit. he said all the candidates should quit except except him? except for him. do you think an old-fashioned guy who wants to be a doer, who wants to be a fixer is really what people are looking for? they re desperate for it. this is the real world. in the pundit world where it s all about this kind of bizarre tweeting out things that aren t relevant to anybody s real life, you know, that s another subject. i m not going to win over the punditry class for sure. i know i can win over people that aspire to a better life for themselves and their family. as it relates to donald, he s run for president twice and quit. i ve run for governor in the biggest swing state and won twice. i know how to win. i ve done it. i actually know how to govern, which is going to be an ....
