Andy Beshear, Democrat Governor of Kentucky

He's not BIPOC.

I want Beshear to be my husbear.

In 2024 it won't matter

I would happily let him Beshear inside my ass

r1 A candidate has to be able to win. Black elderly female voters gave us Biden. They are not afraid of voting for a winner when they sense it.

The VP pick has to have some balance to it. He'll need to guarantee a female running mate.

OP: "Democrat" is a noun, not an adjective. Unless you're the enemy.

Let's not forget that Democrats got a two term POTUS out of Clinton, who was Governor of a traditionally red state. Let's hope this guy isn't the pussyhound he was!!

He won't win KY in a Presidential general election but that wont matter. If he runs for President, he wont be able to run for re-election of KY in 2023. His chances of re-election are no better than 50-50 under the best of circumstances if he doesn't have any major fuckups.

So in one possible universe he ends up as Kamala's VP choice

r6 is the reason why Democrats lose. Always finding things that still aren't right even when positive contributions would be more helpful.

OP, I don't know this man. Will read up on him. My initial thought when I saw your thread: If he is good, wouldn't he be needed in Kentucky? I like that more young Democrats get noticed, so here is another one. I hope we don't beat him down to the ground on our own turf for not ticking 120 of 100 liberal causes. If he is a Democrat and he can get the majority of votes, he will get my vote either way. Go Kentucky!

His new campaign slogan

I thought Dems weren’t allowed to nominate a white straight guy unless he was over 70.

That's a HARD 44.

He doesn't fit the diversity boxes and people will flip if Kamala doesn't get it.

Andy has been a great governor for Kentucky, but I'll be surprised if he's reelected. He was one of the few southern governors to enact COVID restrictions, shutting down businesses, schools and (gasp) CHURCHES! People were pissed. The idiots on Facebook went crazy. He didn't bend, though. I respect him so much.

I'd be shocked if he had Clintonesque skeletons in his closet. I think he's a real boy scout. He seems to genuinely love his family more than anything.

R14: Why? Nobody likes her and nobody wants to work for her.

[quote]That's a HARD 44.

Not as hard as 43 year old DeathSatanis.

[quote]He doesn't fit the diversity boxes and people will flip if Kamala doesn't get it.

Nobody wants her.

Cut him some slack for not looking dewy fresh since by his own admission he's had very little sleep since the tornado hit on Friday. The stress must be overwhelming.

Nonetheless, I think he could raise his profile considerably by the way he handles this incredible situation. Mid terms are still a year away, and a LOT can happen before 2024. I would just like to see him get noticed, and let things proceed from there. As Kamala sinks....

Not one pic in this entire thread? How would we know if he’s cute or not? This thread is useless, OP.

He's as likely to get the nomination as Gov. Scott Walker was on the GOP side.

Andy Beshear got all teary-eyed on the news this morning. It was heartbreaking.

Don’t listen to Boris screaming over and over how he won’t get the nomination being a white male. That’s just Boris being the usual division troll. Trolldar the cunt.

He seems like Tim Hutton in "Ordinary People": shy, hesitant and emotionally fragile. He's going to have to alpha-up if he wants to be POTUS someday.

R22: What's the channel or Youtube video?

R18 Wrong. Black people and women in the Democratic party will have a meltdown and cry racism and sexism.

R26 bullshit stfu Boris you boring ass cunt.

OP, this is an excellent thread. You are on to something. I’m going to do some googling but well done.

This will make republicans crap their pants.

Governors make good presidents, in my opinion.

Is he an Arab? The name sounds like an Arab to me.

Dee, this one is white male. So you’re all clear to vote for him.

[quote]Governors make good presidents, in my opinion.

Except when they're Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush.

R30 He's white. His last name is french.

This is very good!

[quote]As Attorney General, Andy made it a top priority of his office to end the state’s rape kit backlog, seeking justice for victims of sexual assault. Through settlements, he secured millions of dollars in funding to get kits tested and to make much-needed upgrades at the Kentucky State Police crime lab, and he launched one of the nation’s preeminent cold case units to investigate and prosecute cases. As a result, Kentucky is one of only a few states to have now tested every backlogged kit.

His wife's name is "Britainy." OH, DEAR!

[quote]He doesn't fit the diversity boxes and people will flip if Kamala doesn't get it.

The only people who will flip out if Kamala Harris is not nominated will be liberal white women. Everyone else hates her. And I mean everyone.

Don't even think about blaming black people for Kamala Harris.

R35 I totally blame black people for Kamala Harris. They wanted a black person on the ticket and felt they were 'owed it'. Now the Dems are stuck with an affirmative action hire who's a complete dud.

Who says Kamala even wants to be president?

Let’s let the primaries sort it out instead of going with what the Eastern European trolls are saying.

Kamala would only be President briefly if Biden dies. There is no way she would be elected President and I hope she never runs. Sadly incompetent.

I see the furious attempt at narrative setting painting Kamala as a dud (these are well known talking points) is alive here from Boris. Also, few people give a shit about VP. So stfu Boris.

It’s not Boris it’s a plain assessment coming from both sides of the aisle.

He seems great with one Achilles heel - he’s used family connections his whole life. He went straight from college to law school his very first job straight out of law school was working for his dad’s law firm, then he went into KY politics just like his dad (former KY Governor). That’s how he got so far so young.

R41 no

He keeps giving ‘news conferences’ where he says nothing but lame platitudes, on and on. “Kentuckians are STRONG” “We’ll get through this TOGETHER” “We’re BLESSED” blah blah fucking blah.

R41 it’s CLEARLY narrative setting right wing talking points. It has been proven to be so shut your right wing bullshit up. Trolldar 41. It’s eye opening and revealing.

[quote]He keeps giving ‘news conferences’ where he says nothing but lame platitudes, on and on. “Kentuckians are STRONG” “We’ll get through this TOGETHER” “We’re BLESSED” blah blah fucking blah.

And when Trump would give news conferences after a disaster, he'd offer no help, present no ideas toward any solutions, demonstrate no grasp of the reality of the situation at hand, and even threaten to actively withhold help from states who didn't vote for him.

R24 You leave my Timmy out of this!

Handsome and a UVa grad.

Fickle bitches.

I don't know. Between Newsom and this guy, I'd go with Gavin. He's one tough son of a bitch who's been through dirty fights.

He has womanly hips and no ass. Fury, but rather boring.

Does he have the confidence to eat a hotdog in public? That is my yardstick for a serious candidate.

He is so good looking. It would be nice to see that handsome face during National emergencies.

R42 is parody of Trump right? Who went to school thanks to daddy’s connections and went to work for him?

At least hot gov daddy didn’t betray his own father for the cash.

At least hot gov daddy sat for his own SATs and exams.

He’s so hot. I want to lick his asshole (I’m fairly sure it’s at least slightly hairy), smell his feet after a long work day, and make out heavily with him—extreme tongue kissing— (in that order).

[quote] Fury, but rather boring.

Did you mean “furry”?

Can you tell us anything more about his ass.

[quote] The only people who will flip out if Kamala Harris is not nominated will be liberal white women.

That's 60% of the party.

What is he supposed to do, R44? Pledge to punish the tornado?

R57 I think he meant fury. He's really pissed at the tornado.

R58 tiresome Boris with lies

Trolldar 58- revealing

I meant furry- guess that’s why I was only an intern and not a legit worker. He’s cute, friendly, and yes, very hairy. Skinny, no real muscle tone. Naturally lanky. The ass is flat- no Justin T. that’s for sure. Wife is reserved, but a good mom.

Thank you, Intern! Glad to hear it.

This thread is useless without lots of pics.

Here’s his “personal” Instagram (as opposed to his “Governor of KY” Instagram). Lots of pics.

Hairy upper arms and shoulders, looks like (yikes!). Almost but not quite a deal breaker for me. He could keep a shirt on while he licks my asshole.

Nice sturdy legs in shorts in a few of the photos, too. His eyes and big nose are his best features.

There’s something so blatantly basic and dorky about him, but I cannot help but want him to fuck me. And I’m not even a bottom. I am drawn to him.

He looks to be in his 50s.

Hairy biceps and shoulders are a dealbreaker. Laser that shit!

It looks like he's never worked out, even going back to his 20s, when he snared his Kentucky-hot blonde wife.

He coasted on his handsomeness. If I had his looks, I might've too.

But he needs to start exercising now. He's jeopardizing his health by not being fit, and the Dems need him.

Beshear is *exactly* the kind of person the party should be cultivating as a potential national candidate: moderate, attractive, executive experience. I hope he acquits himself well in the KY disaster response situation and thereby raises his profile.

Let’s hope he doesn’t use email, or forbid.

You don't express your thoughts very clearly, r69.

Beshear ran against a dumpster-fire incumbent carpet-bagger Republican governor, Matt Bevin, and barely squeaked out a win. Bevin did things like call teachers lazy. A lot of people love Beshear. My Mom listens to his press conferences every day.

By the way, again with the asshole OPs and posting without a link!

[quote]I totally blame black people for Kamala Harris. They wanted a black person on the ticket and felt they were 'owed it'.

Then Biden should have told them “no” and picked who he wanted. (It wasn’t Kamala).

R71 = Pete Buttigieg posting on Datalounge.

Kamala was popular. That’s why she was picked. She is getting the right wing narrative setting treatment via Heritage and Russia. It won’t last since it has been identified yet our Boris/right wing trolls really busy lately. Trolldar this cunt.

Does he have a hairy chest? That's how I determine a candidate's worthiness.

[quote]Democrat Governor

"Democratic" governor.

[quote]is anyone else smelling Presidential contender?

Dunno. Does it smell like cookies?

Wondering what the Democrats will do after the lose badly in 2022 midterms? Biden is no Clinton or Obama. He's not charismatic and so old that there's no guarantee he can run again. Part of the party has moved so far to the left it's hard to see the Democrats not tearing themselves apart.

It's uncharted waters my friends.

Nobody can figure out who is going to connect to voters when it comes to presidential politics. I would have thought MT gov Bullock would have been way up there but in a crowded field many strong candidates suffer. It throws many off their game. He is still a likely candidate if Biden doesn’t run again. Also, Biden is likely to be a strong candidate against the last toddler president.

Black people didn't ask for Kamala Harris. And if it wasn't for black people, you dumbasses would have gone with Liz Warren or Bernie and we'd be about to wrap up year one of Trump's second term. The only people who care about a rainbow coalition ticket is white progressives, Twitter, and the media who loves nothing more than the democrats in disarray narrative.

Black people would have been far more excited about someone like Hakeem Jeffries or Val Demings. The only people who need to check off boxes in these races are the ones mentioned above. The first female president is going to be a republican, and I can't wait to watch the progressive heads explode. Progressives ruin everything.

Politically, Kamala Harris is the Dan Quayle of the Democratic Party.

[quote]And if it wasn't for black people, you dumbasses would have gone with Liz Warren or Bernie

Warren was never ahead in the primaries. It was either Bernie or Buttigieg at first, and when it became clear they were leading after the first few primaries, Democrats came out in droves to vote for Biden because they wanted someone who could get elected. Buttigieg also stepped aside early on to help that happen.

It's true that the several Southern states helped set the tone during the March 3rd primaries for Biden getting the nom, but it wasn't black voters who kept Warren or Sanders from winning.

It WAS black voters who helped Biden get the presidency though, and got GA two Democratic senators and therefore gave the Senate to the Dems.

Beshear could be a reasonable Presidential candidate. He has a bit of the Bill Clinton charismatic Southern Governor thing going on. We'll have to see, he's not well-known enough yet on the national stage.

I think NC’s Democratic Governor Roy Cooper would make a good Presidentialal candidate. Longtime Attorney General and now two-term Governor of a Red/ trending Purple southern state who has won statewide in years that saw the GOP elect Presidents and Senators. Traditional moderate Democrat with never a hint of a scandal, he was just elected head of the National Governor's Association.

The one problem is that he is smart and probably doesn’t want the job. He has openly stated that he has no interest in going to Washington as a US Senator, much to the dismay of the state party.

It was Black voters in the South (specifically Black female voters in the South) who handed Biden the nomination.

All the racist shit-stirrers on this thread want us to forget what happened like 2 years ago.

You really think the nominee would be a straight white male?

You say he checks a lot of boxes…. Has he checked (fucked) your box yet??

[quote]You really think the nominee would be a straight white male?

If you want someone electable, then yes. If not, nominate Hillary or Kamala or Pete or AOC.

R87 I think AOC is more electable than DL gives her credit for. Potential for a landslide/Obama style win IMO.

WRONG! R29

It would be completely dependent on how good of a campaigner AOC is. She’s already wearing “woke” on her lapels, so that’s a big hindrance, but she’s also been massively caricatured. Her running a great campaign could change a lot of soft opinions.

2020 is done and over with. (Except for the insurrection indictments) The political calculations for 2024 wont be based on decisions made in2020.

It's not racist to say that black voters got Biden the win, not necessarily the nomination. Black voters are responsible for Biden getting the nom in Texas but otherwise they didn't overwhelmingly give Biden the nom in other states, largely because young black voters were behind Sanders, so in states like CA and MN, Biden didn't do as well with the black voting demographic.

You mean young people are more liberal than old people, but old people come out to the polls more reliably??

Amazing insight.

I need the Governor in me quite deeply

R36, you are an idiot and a likely racist.

Black people were not pushing for Kamala Harris nor were we demanding that any other black candidate be named Joe Biden's running mate. We just held the White House for eight years. After the Obamas, do you really think Kamala Harris was all that impressive?

As I already stated, Kamala Harris was pushed onto Biden by white liberal women. They are the ones who were demand a woman of color be named to the ticket, not black voters.

So fuck off with your racist assumptions and educate yourself.

No Biden WANTED a woman. Stfu u right wing talking points spewing motherfuckers. Of course the 5 times banned defacto is behind 90% of this shit. And Boris.

Interesting article from today regarding NC Gov. Roy Cooper and the Presidency. Tracks with what I’m hearing on the ground from party operatives.

Kamala Harris is INDIAN !

I notice the pretend Dems here desperately want us to have a moderate Dem as president. I don’t want Bernie. Biden has been plenty progressive. Progressives have stupid messaging but better policies. Dems are delivering because they pushed to get the party out of the economic middle which poll after poll shows the majority are more progressive.

R95 Bull. People like Joy Reid lobbied for Kamala Harris and spoke openly about what black women were 'owed' during the time Joe Biden was picking his running mate. You're a racist idiot who thinks black people can't be at fault for anything. Educate yourself, low life.

Where are the sexy pictures?

A lot of the Southern Democratic politicians who’ve managed to hold onto some power seem strangely milquetoast to me, especially considering Southern guys tend to have more colorful personalities than others. I do like Mitch Landrieu, but it doesn’t seem like he’s on an upward trajectory. And even he’s another dynastic politician from a famous family. We need another Clinton or Obama type.

This story amused me and it was the sexiest pic I could find—

R100 stfu you goddamn Boris. Trolldar this bitch. Racist and republican.

Biden wanted a woman and he wanted a woman of color like republicans want a “man of faith” but that’s never seen as affirmative action. Republicans always have their quota. But it was Biden, who won with HISTORIC numbers so he did something right with the pick. Kamala was popular and did a great job. She was known to be tough and sharp but she imploded when she ran for prez. She lost her mojo. She’ll get it back.

Dems have a huge coalition so FUCK ALL YOU TRIGGERED RACISTS for not handling it well. We’ll have a BALANCED ticket. If that angers you GOOD!. You are all right wing division trolls STILL pretending to be Dems when NONE of us believe you are.

@ R104

Preach, Sistah!

God is on our side!

Blocked 106. Good

He has no power as governor of Kentucky. The veto proof Republican legislature won't allow him to get anything done.

I need to see his ass in a pair of shorts.

I heard from a good source he’s got a huge cock. His wife gossips.

President Andy and First Lady Britainy??? They will need to change their names.

"Beshear" is phonetic spelling of his actual name which is accurately spelled as 'Bashir'.

.. So is he ANOTHER stealth Muslim?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

You never know how somebody will respond when running for Prez. It took Biden three tries and near perfect timing. Beto was phenomenal running for Senator but was not good running for Prez. The next nom will be somebody surprising.

[quote][R95] Bull. People like Joy Reid lobbied for Kamala Harris and spoke openly about what black women were 'owed' during the time Joe Biden was picking his running mate. You're a racist idiot who thinks black people can't be at fault for anything. Educate yourself, low life.

I know that some of you have some kind of irrational hatred for Joy Reid, but Joy Reid is not the Queen of the Black People nor does she speak for most black people. I don't know if you've ever listened to Joy, but she's pretty freaking progressive. Way more progressive than most black people. But Joy was not indicative of the way most black people felt about Kamala. And you would know that if you were paying attention. Kamala had some love among a select few in the HBCU crowd, but Kamala is not some beloved figure among black people. Kamala has a very specific base.

He seems like he’s probably got Irish or Scots heritage. “Bashir”? Come on.

LOL @ R103’s story

R116 Joy Reid is religious and has a history of homophobia. Sounds like a standard black person to me. And, yes, the climate on social media and news programs led by black people like Joy were definitely lobbying for Kamala. Now fuck off, you lying prick.

R118 who cares you demonic psycho.

Andy is fuckable.

[quote]but Joy Reid is not the Queen of the Black People nor does she speak for most black people.

Somebody should inform her.

Here's Andy getting choked up during a press conference yesterday.

^ He's got my vote!

I want to suck his cock until he's not sad anymore.

All I want for Christmas is for him to fuck me. I'll do anything.

Andy has the huge cock to satisfy.

Tell me he has a laptop somewhere with nudes on it.

R124 me too.

I'll comfort him in between draining his hog.

Andy's New Year's message.

He was looking haf being interviewed on CNN about the flooding in Kentucky.

He’d make an excellent VP candidate.

Judging from the hair poking out at his collar, he must have a very hairy chest.

He's a year older than DeathSantis, yet looks significantly younger and fitter.

Andy won a lot of people over in the early days of Covid. He held a daily press conference that was must see TV here in Kentucky. I was especially impressed with him lashing out at employers pre-lockdown who weren't following safety protocols. His approval ratings soared up into the 80s. This must have panicked the opposition, because they immediately fired up the anti-mask brigade, lawsuits from businesses, protests over school closings, and anything else they could do to counteract his policies to fight Covid. As a result, our case rate skyrocketed and Andy's approval tumbled. But he stood firm that saving lives was much more important to him than staying in office.

Is he a viable presidential candidate? Not sure if I'd go that far. But I truly believe he's a genuinely compassionate person, and he's not afraid to fight for what he believes in.

R134, And he's quite fuckable.
