Don't make excuses! Bevin Lost because he's a jerk! Don't fall for the trap of making excuses for this Bevin guy.  Mitch McConnell was lukewarm toward his candidacy. Even infamous Trump hater Erick Erickson says his loss had nothing to do with Trump. Bevin has a lot of baggage. There's a nice way to handle people and a rude way. This Bevin dude said teachers were only protesting so they could get a day off. You can say that about the unions, but once you start singling out teachers, you're going to make enemies. And Erickson said that Bevin agreed to appear at one of those gatherings, and then demanded transportation by private plane. Good riddance.
