Beshear should stand down

Would someone please remind Democrat Steve Beshear that he is our former governor. Gov. Matt Bevin made it very plain during his campaign what he would do if elected, and he won.

Now our illustrious Democrats want to sue. They are lawyers, and that’s what they do.

Why can’t our former governor be the gentleman so many other former governors have been? Defeated or served their terms, they go do something else — many quite successfully.

House Speaker Greg Stumbo and other Democrats should get it through their heads; the majority of those voting in the last governor’s race rejected Beshear’s beliefs. Now he should get over it. He’s done.
