WOW Kentucky’s GOP Candidate for Governor Backs Carson, not Rand, for President

I really need to head out and get a lot more popcorn.

WaPo's David Weigel is reporting that Kentucky's GOP candidate for governor Matt Bevin is backing Ben Carson for President, not Kentucky's own  Rand Paul. Got that?

Bevin seems to be walking back his Carson support now, but Weigel notes:

In real time, the answer was clear -- and debate moderators pressed Bevin, to make sure that he did not support Kentucky's own candidate in Rand Paul.

There is quite a back story to Rand-Bevin, surrounding Rand's refusal to back Bevin over establishment Mitch McConnell.

Yet, another case of Rand's kissing up to the establishment backfiring on him.

In 2013, I interviewed Bevin. He is not a perfect candidate from a libertarian perspective, but he was certainly much better than McConnell in that Senate race.



Any guy in politics, who calls McConnell an establishment puppet, gets extra points from me . I'd push Rand's rating a full notch up, if he would do just that.
