KY-GOV Elect Andy Beshear would've been an ideal 2020 candidate

Youthful, progressive (but not a flame thrower), able to win statewide twice in a deep red state, great campaigner, handsome with a beautiful family and nearly no baggage. It's too late for 2020, but keep an eye on him going forward!

Especially with all the election fraud going on. Losing so many local spots after 2008 was disastrous.

And everyone can't run for President. I think it's really important to have a majority of Democratic governorships.

with redistricting. So Beshear can be a firewall to any gerrymandering, if that is allowed in the state.
