pretty clear they wanted to nationalize this race on abortion, on illegal immigration, and certainly on the president who is still immensely popular in kentucky. right? but for i think the governor, his campaign really got an early warning back in the may primary when little known legislator by the name of robert goforth, a freshman, got about 40% of the vote. and robert goldforth was not saying i m more conservative than matt bevin. he was making the argument that matt bevin isn t one of us. right? he s this new hampshire native who s sort of rude and doesn t know kentucky values. as one supporter told me, the govern governor s not someone you invite over to memaw s house to have potato salad. you never really saw governor bevin kind of build a fold with former rivals in the republican side the way andy beshear was doing. final question because we re hearing a lot of spin out of washington. what how do you explain the republican success below bevin?
