“He’s not taking shots at people”. He’s intelligent, he’s articulate, he’s respected.
Bevin, the Republican candidate, updated his position on the state’s Medicaid expansion, saying the 440,000 people added to the rolls could stay but would have to re-enroll under a new program.
“To be obvious.I really like Ben Carson, but not advertising him or anyone for POTUS.Have never sanctioned from my experience.If I performed would likely #StandWithRand”, Bevin tweeted.
“In terms of who I would select right now for the next president he would not be the first choice that I would make”, Bevin said.
Asked why he was snubbing the home state candidate Paul, Bevin replied: “I’m looking at people who I think would have the best chance of uniting all the pieces”. Rand Paul would campaign with Bevin on Saturday.
“As we hit October, time is ticking for these candidates to press their cases”, said WKYT political editor Bill Bryant.
Jones pressed Conway on a few of his campaign’s vagueness throughout the debate, asking in particular where he would find the revenue for his proposals to increase education funding and a dedicated stream for the state’s troubled public pension plans – considering he is against raising taxes.
While Conway and Bevin stuck mostly to their campaign scripts, a few of Jones’ questions gave a few telling openings in each of the candidates’ offense and defense.
When the Bluegrass Poll asked which candidate is most honest, 30 percent of voters said Conway while 27 percent of voters said Bevin is more honest than his two competitors.
An ad from Conway says he was the only Democratic attorney general in the country to sue the Obama administration over proposed emission standards for coal-fired power plants. “I think the world of Rand”.

He refused to say who he would vote for president if the election were held today, saying only he would support the Democratic nominee.
