14. ballotpedia says ...

In primary elections, any candidate can request a recount. In general elections, any candidate for state, county, district, or city office can request a recount, with the exception of candidates for the offices of governor, lieutenant governor, and General Assembly member. In these latter cases, a candidate who has won at least 25 percent of the votes cast for the successful candidate for the office in question can contest the election, which entails a recount. Candidates are liable for the costs associated with a recount.

13. Those that voted for Bevin.....

Who campaigned on taking away Health care, pick fights with Teachers, Police and Fire Fighters, see coal mines shut down, voted for Trump.

This is a defeat for Trump because now, even McConnell has to be comcerned. Democrats in Kentucky have to be feeling pretty good as they see gains in in 2020.

15. I had lunch with Beshear two months ago...he'll do a solid job.

[SixString]

19. I've never had lunch with Beshear.

But I know he'll do a better job for KY than Bevin.

Imagine that.

16. Well done Kentucky!!!

17. Dump pleaded with Kentuckians on Monday night: "You can't let that happen to me."

The importance of the race — and how it will shape the perception of the president’s strength — was not lost on Trump.

“You’re sending that big message to the rest of the country, it’s so important, you got to get your friends, you got to vote. Because if you lose it sends a really bad message. And they will build it up,” Trump says. “You can’t let that happen to me.”
