If Massie wins the primary, how much of a fight is he in for in the general election?

He should be the overwhelming favorite, provided he works to unify the party, keeps his head down and does all of the basics without courting unnecessary controversy (You can bet the Dems will try to paint him as an extremist.) This is arguably the most Republican district in Kentucky though, and he will win barring a big upset.

None. If he wins tonight it is virtually over.

It is odd though since there are more registered Democrats in the district than Republicans but Kentuckians really don't like Democrats in federal offices.

Meaning we can move on and see if we can't get a few other candidates in

Have to admit that I chuckled when someone called Massie's performance so far tonight a #Randslide. Pretty apt description. I should know!

 

[cstarace]

I'm pumped up! If it's true that Massie is virtually uncontested in the general, we should be seeing him working alongside Amash in the House in ~7 months time!

O'Keefe, a Democrat, also expressed disappointment that outside groups were spending heavily on Massie.

"The problem is, he's an ideologue... a tea partier. He's cutting off his nose to spite his face," O'Keefe said. "As a county executive, he turned down all federal money because he doesn't think the government should be spending money. It's ridiculous."

Sounds perfect to me. I'd say O'Keefe is the one who doesn't get it. We don't need our own money filtered through the Washington beauracracy.

Thomas just came in chat for a few minutes. I told you all to come in, haha!

Great News: Thomas Massie, Lewis County, Kentucky Judge Executive is going to win the Kentucky Fourth Congressional District Republican Primary!!!

 

[Hyperion]

Wow the results are incredibly encouraging for the future of the Paulian movement. This was a great test fight for libertarian conservatives as this district is heavily Republican and we're dominating.

 

[matt0611]

Good to hear Thomas Massies is doing well!

We need many more liberty people in congress!

[Rocco]

Honestly, this is an incredible day. What an incredible achievement for our movement.

Did we just see an RPFer become a U.S. congressman-elect from KY???
