Bevin used a state plane for 67 trips to 29 states in 2 years. He won't say why.

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin showed up at Adventureland Park in Altoona, Iowa, on Nov. 19, 2016, with four bottles of Maker’s Mark bourbon.

The bourbon was a present for Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad’s 70th birthday bash. In tow were three of Bevin’s children, chief of staff Blake Brickman, and operations director John Hodgson. They ate beef and pork barbecue sandwiches, baked beans, cornbread and chocolate cupcakes decorated with phony mustaches.

“He was just an incredible mentor to me and I am extremely grateful,” Bevin told the crowd, according to the Des Moines Register.

The excursion was one of 67 out-of-state trips Bevin made during 2016 and 2017, according to a Lexington Herald-Leader analysis of the governor’s travel records. Taxpayers spent $377,404.50 on those trips, although 49 percent of that cost was later reimbursed by the Republican Party of Kentucky, the hosts of conferences Bevin attended, Bevin’s campaign fund or Bevin personally.

1. Bevin's a crook

One of Trump's "mini-me's". I don't think he will beat Beshear and get a second term. But I could be wrong, I haven't understood my fellow Kentuckians since the religious right sold them to the Republican Party.

3. What you said

I was just at a funeral a week or so ago and spoke with the former mayor of our small town. I hadn't spoken with him in decades, but after the usual chit chat we got to politics. One question we kept asking ourselves. Why, why, why, do my fellow Kentuckians constantly vote against their own interest. Our conclusion, three reason: abortion, guns, and gays......still these same issues.
Our poorly educated voters, and we have millions, vote on those issues only. The old God, Guns, and Gays vote is alive here. That is an old argument, and we still haven't caught up.

2. A state plane...

I didn't know we had a state plane.

Just like McConnell, another criminal asshole that needs to go. My money is on Andy Beshear.
