Don’t blame Gov. Bevin

I am getting quite a laugh from those bellyaching about Gov. Matt Bevin’s actions since taking office.

Kynect? He campaigned on ending it. Cutting spending? He said he’d keep taxes low. He’s doing exactly as he said he would. Perhaps I’m mistaking the complaining as surprise. Maybe the left’s efforts would be better focused on nominating better (that is anyone with a pulse and modicum of chutzpah or excitement) candidates.

The Democratic Party in Kentucky is in disarray, and that isn’t Bevin’s fault.
