If there is a big picture, it's that the GOP's suburban and exurban -- performance is a worsening nightmare under Trump. And that requires Rs to run up the score everywhere else. Bevin may have burned too many bridges to do so in Kentucky.

A single, generous public plan replacing private insurance from companies like UnitedHealth Group, Anthem and Cigna would undoubtedly amount to a massive reshaping of the country’s health-care system and a significant loss of jobs throughout the health-care sector. America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), insurers’ powerful trade association, calculates the jobs of around 1.5 million workers in the industry would be jeopardized.

Two men have been charged with distributing phony sample ballots in Marion, Ohio. Marion County Republican Party official John Matthews and Robert Landon, the GOP candidate for Marion city auditor broke the law by distributing campaign handouts designed to look like sample ballots, reports ABC 6 News. Landon faces a second charge of imitating the board of elections. Under the law, a resident of Ohio could face up to six months in jail and be forced to pay up to a $1,000 fine for this offense. The sample ballots reportedly looked like real voting ballots but with boxes highlighting all of the Republican candidates.
