But I Won’t Do That
Congratulations to Matt Bevin for being such a humongous asshole that his party would choose democracy over him:
More than a week after Kentucky voters showed him the door, Republican governor Matt Bevin finally conceded defeat today. He waited until after a recanvass (basically just a math check of reported returns from the counties) predictably did nothing to decrease Democrat Andy Beshear’s 5,000-vote margin. But what happened between Election Night and today was potentially instructive for Republicans nationally who may have reason to come to grips with a 2020 presidential candidate who is reluctant to concede defeat.
Even Trump might give up office if he loses decisively! Who knows.
