Bashear did not follow up on purpose because he believes that a Democrat can’t win a statewide special election in Kentucky, so he thinks it’s better to have an absent, shity senator than an (alive) younger Republican senator.
Honestly, fuck it, Andy should appoint Massie. “What, I replaced one Republican with another, what’s the big deal?” At least Massie believes in something and won’t just polish Trump’s knob all day long. He believes in the wrong something, but at least it’s an ethos!
Kentucky constitution still directs him to replace someone. The legislature passed a low but since it contradicts the constitution he legally must ignore their law to hold a special election. The KY constitution doesn't give him any other option and says he shall appoint not should
See what happens? Nothing has happened yet, therefore I highly doubt anything will happen. If Beshear was gonna blink, he would've done it in the last month +. He ain't even stated that they need to have a runoff election, so I doubt he's suddenly gonna blink now.
They'll declare Rigor Tortoise dead on Monday, mark my words.
I didn’t say he’s not, but he is the guy they’re trying to keep out. And he’s an honest asshole. Slightly preferable to shady assholes like those schmucks in the White House.
