Subject: Please let it be him
Someone I've written about for a good 2 years or so.....

"Here's Andy Beshear's Case for President
The Kentucky governor is laying out an early argument for why he could be Democrats’ be"
My biggest fear is --- he would be the Republican John Kasich --someone with track record, knowledge, decency AND national electability.....but he's too civil and too nice to attract an angry primary voter.
Which sucks.
The man wins twice in a red state and the second time ---increases his percentage in the most Trumpiest counties.
If he was nominated.
And the YogsMomYelpPeople didn't force him to do the pronoun bullshit.... it would be a 320+ electoral win, a 53-54% popular win. And 1 or 2 large transformative pieces of legislation would be passed...with perhaps 60+ votes in the senate meaning some Red guys would come along for the ride.
I've not bothered to see the primary calendar. But New Hampshire is the last bastion of intelligent voters.... and man I hope he visits with them open the porches and in the diners. If he can get #2, or #1.... and then in South Carolina, the GOP-Ailes-Bush machine (quiet, not dead) doesn't ambush him....it would be a wonderful world.
Moments when I get weak, and I want what's good........ this fella comes to mind. There's others (Rahm Emanuel. Shapiro. Some others) but Governor Beshear would be electable, nationally, and maaaaaaaybe be a speed bump as you people try hard to become Sunnis and Shias and Croats and Serbs.
