All eyes are on Kentucky Tuesday, as Gov. Matt Bevin faces down a very serious challenge from Andy Beshear, the state's Democratic attorney general. How is it that Bevin is in such a tough race despite the heavily Republican lean of the Bluegrass State? And how much credit does President Donald Trump deserve depending on the outcome Tuesday night?
I asked all those questions -- and more! -- of Philip M. Bailey, a political reporter for the Louisville Courier Journal. Our conversation, conducted via email and lightly edited for flow, is below. .duval-3{width:100%;position: relative; border: 1px solid #979797; border-left: none; border-right: none;padding: 20px 0; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; -moz-box-sizing: border-box; margin: auto; max-width: 660px;} .

Cillizza: Why is a Republican governor in a comfortably Republican state in real danger of losing today?Bailey: Matt Bevin has broken every part of the traditional political rulebook by quarreling with members of his own party and criticizing a group that has remained a third rail in Kentucky politics: public school teachers.
CillizzaCNN Come on Americans you can get rid of all Republicans. They are making you look bad as a country!

CillizzaCNN So if Bevin wins....thats another bad loss for Dems...and a huge save by Trump.
CillizzaCNN How much blame do you deserve for not mentioning the Epstein story
CillizzaCNN Bevin sounds like a nasty guy and a bit of a creep.
CillizzaCNN My prediction for CNN tomorrow: if Bevin loses it will be “despite a HUGE effort by Trump voters soundly rejected Bevin due to his deep ties to the Trump regime.” If he wins, “voters not so much swayed by trump as local and state issues that drove them to the polls”
CillizzaCNN Never underestimate the abject stupidity of southern republican voters.
CillizzaCNN F Trump! 🤡
CillizzaCNN Im concerned about the influence of moscow mitchs russian mob money and interference in this election
CillizzaCNN It doesn't matter how much he deserves. If Bevin wins he will say it was only because of him. If Bevin loses he will blame anyone but himself.
CillizzaCNN According to you I’d say if he loses it’s all Trumps fault but if he wins Trump had nothing to do with it
