LEXINGTON, Ky. — President Donald Trump made a last-minute push on Monday night for Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, a strong ally who is facing a tough re-election bid in a deep-red state that should be a shoo-in for Republicans.

"Here's the story," Trump told thousand of supporters ahead of Tuesday's election. "If you win, they are going to make it like, ho hum. And if you lose, they are going to say Trump suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the world. You can't let that happen to me!"

Trump's campaign is hoping the president, who won Kentucky by 30 percentage points in 2016, can give Bevin a boost over Democrat Andy Beshear, the state's attorney general, in what as regarded as a close contest, as the president continues to road test his messaging on the impeachment inquiry dogging his administration for the last six weeks.

. . .

With less than a year to go before his own re-election, Trump is looking to take credit for as many victories around the country as possible — even in states here the GOP should win easily — to show he is still a potent political force despite the headlines surrounding impeachment, a White House official said.

1. Me! Me! Me!

[Maxheader]

19. My first thought...

Are voters so stupid they see that nothing is being championed by stumpy/gop? Better health plans..nothing..
Better protection for our children..nada..No tax breaks for us!!! wtf...just for its buddies..Campaigning politicans are supposed to be offering stuff for 'us'..citizens of americu, the working class.
Are they..?

[busterbrown]

30. The Answer is !Yes

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes they are that stupid!

[riversedge]

28. yup

[dalton99a]

2. The world revolves around Donald Trump

Worthless motherfucker

[cstanleytech]

3. What amazes me is how many morons still support Trump and many Repugnants still.

[helpisontheway]

4. I honestly can't believe it is that close in Kentucky

Or maybe they want us to think it is so it will seem like a win for him. Then he can brag and say he pulled him over the line. 🙄. Hope the Democrat kicks the incumbent’s @ss. GOTV..

[ewagner]

22. Agree...

He gave away the game by saying that if the Repub wins it will be "ho-hum...but if he loses etc"

He knows a Republican win in Kentucky will be about as interesting as saying "water is wet"...but a defeat will be news.

[tulipsandroses]

5. Whiny ass cry baby - Since when are elections supposed to be about the politician?

Aren't politicians supposed to tell the people what they will do for the people? Not the other way around. I had no idea it was supposed to be about the politicians asking the people to help them out.

Just utterly ridiculous. And the brainwashed just keep on going

[truthisfreedom]

9. In all my life I've never heard a politician whine like a WWE loser.

[LuckyLib]

6. What would be wonderful would be a HUGE win for Bashear

brought on by large numbers of Kentucky voters who have had it with the Crazy Train in Washington.

[dchill]

7. "You can't let that happen to me!"

Why ever not? You CAUSE far worse to happen to Kurds and immigrant children every day. Karma is a dog!

[dustyscamp]

8. Self centered mf

Kentucky please vote blue! Show America what's in store for the Cons in 2020!

[Thekaspervote]

10. I will say this for the dotard, he understands loosing is his worst enemy

Dotard’s base has slipped 3-4 points because he’s beginning to look like a looser. Oh yes....they love love him until he becomes, in their tiny minds the looser that he is. They will, as has been proven, put up with anything... but loosing...then you’re toast

Let’s hope he keeps up public appearances, especially sporting events where he is openly booed. Doesn’t sit well with the dotard road rage race crew that is his base

[DeminPennswoods]

13. Good point

When he tax returns come out and he's revealed not to be the rich, successful businessman he's said he is, even more supporters will flee.

[DinahMoeHum]

11. Baby! Baby!! Waaah!!! WAAAH!!!

Baby! Baby!! Waaah!!! WAAAH!!!

Whiny crybaby.

[Botany]

12. I'll spare you the wait Bevin will win even though he is underwater in KY

KY has "special voting."

[Fritz Walter]

14. My KY friends and family: "Hold my bourbon!"

I sincerely hope they get out the vote today in the urban/suburban centers -- northern KY (Cincinnati suburbs), Lexington and Louisville.

[beachbumbob]

15. we can only hope the destruction of coal and McConnell's dissing of coal miners have an

effect

[Vinca]

16. Imagine - if they elect the Democrat they might get their health coverage back.

Vote for Trump/Bevin = potential death.

[bucolic_frolic]

17. Trump whines more than Mein Kampf

Such an oppressed little man, trodden upon

[Mc Mike]

18. Get out there and take one for the team, Team Me.

Lemme talk about tRump, and what matters to tRump, and tRump tRump tRump tRump.

[phandancer917]

20. 3 Votes for Beshear...

...coming from my house today!!

Watched the Nazi rally last night and was amused/sickened. The place was packed (not surprising for central KY) but the protesters were out as well.

Certainly not scientific -- but I see a LOT of Beshear signs....only seen 2 Bevin. Though I am a sort of rural county (Woodford), it is still moving towards progressive and we are not as backwards as some southern counties.

I feel good about Beshear today!

[Javaman]

21. Translation:

"fuck you, you stupid rubes, this is all about me!"

[Bayard]

23. Cry me a river

Last poll I saw, Beshear and Bevin were tied, so who knows? I think most people in my county don't even vote, or just in the presidential.

[Firestorm49]

24. It's all about the Donald, or, I mean the king, or is it das fuhrer?

[B Stieg]

25. Just go away, tRump nt

[area51]

26. Donnie: "... the greatest defeat in the history of the world."

[NastyRiffraff]

27. He doesn't care about Kentuckians

or Bevin. Only about himself, as usual.

[Initech]

29. Voter intimidation - another impeachable offense!

[Skittles]

31. sounds like the decent folk in Kentucky stepped up to the plate

yes INDEED

[marble falls]

32. whomp. whomp.
