Part of their Facebook statement.

"In an ideal world, we elect Libertarian candidates and advance liberty. Failing that, we push mainstream candidates towards liberty to advance the cause.

But if we can’t do those things, we are always happy to split the vote in a way that causes delicious tears. Tonight there are plenty of delicious tears from Bevin supporters.

Had Matt Bevin not ditched his liberty Lt Governor for a Mitch McConnell picked anti liberty, corrupt running mate who has tried to eliminate Kentuckians jury trial rights, had Matt Bevin not presided over a huge sales tax increase, had Matt Bevin supported any of our key issues on criminal justice reform, marijuana legalization, expanded gaming, cutting taxes, or acted with the least bit of civility, we probably would not have run a candidate. Of course, he did the opposite. And here we are."

I personally don't think this bodes well for McConnell.

9. This knife cuts both ways...

but I savor the deliciousness that is Kentucky this morning. It's been such a long time that the Republicans felt the edge.

Also, couldn't happen to a nicer guy than Bevins. Glad that even in Ruby Red Kentucky bad behavior has consequences.
