1. Excellent!

[Faux pas]

2. The 'love'

is quite heartening lolol and

[gratuitous]

3. Good job, Kentucky

That's as close as ordinary citizens are going to get to these rascals; might as well make 'em concentrate on their iPhones so they don't look out the windows and see the casualties of their policies.

[livetohike]

4. The crowds will grow larger once people figure out

how badly they are being screwed. Way to go Kentucky .

[Exilednight]

21. Team Bush had a policy to keep protestors of sight.

They're philosophy is out of sight, out of mind.

[McCamy Taylor]

5. What an asswipe! Why would he even go to Kentucky? They took the Medicaid expansion.

They are going to be the red state that suffers the most.

[subterranean]

13. This is what the people of Kentucky voted for.

They like the Medicaid expansion, but voted for a governor who was against it, and then voted overwhelmingly for a president who promised to repeal it. Apparently they don't mind suffering or making others suffer.

[ananda]

15. I know.

It defies logic... but that's how hate and being manipulated works.

[littlemissmartypants]

18. .

To see victory only when it is within the ken of the common herd is not the acme of excellence.

30. They are the low info and uniformed voters that dumpty relied on. The need to WAKE UP nt

[Alice11111]

33. No, they voted for a guy who wanted to "Bigly, make it better."

It had nothing to do with Medicaid.

[defacto7]

16. and I bet he was just fishing for a photo op...

Surprise!

[NotThisTime]

28. Oh no, it's not the same thing, they renamed it Kynect or some such thing... they don't know what

they have

[sheshe2]

6. Kentucky

Resist Persist

[mountain grammy]

7. Thank you, citizens of Kentucky!

[NastyRiffraff]

8. Good on you, Kentucky

Kentucky was a model state for ACA. They will suffer if it's repealed and replaced by...well, nothing.

From the earliest days, Kentucky’s efforts to implement Obamacare have earned national acclaim. As the troubled roll out of the national health care exchange website was ruthlessly mocked by late night television, Fortune praised “one health exchange success story”: Kentucky’s new state-level marketplace.

Unlike most southern states, Kentucky opted to both set up its own state exchange (the Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange, commonly known as “Kynect”) and to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. These efforts, ordered by Gov. Steve Beshear (D) and overseen by Governing magazine’s 2014 Public Official of the Year Carrie Banahan, helped get 521,000 Kentuckians insurance coverage in the first year alone. According to a Gallup poll, by the first half of 2015, Kentucky’s uninsured rate had fallen from 20.4 percent in 2013 to just 9 percent, the second largest drop of any state. Governing fêted Kentucky as “one of the few states that got everything right.”

34. Oh thanks for this--I haven't read thinkprogress in a little while,

I forgot they're one of my faves.

Aside from the clear info, I love this quote especially:

Gov. Steve Beshear (D) and overseen by Governing magazine’s 2014 Public Official of the Year Carrie Banahan

Golly, it matters who you vote for! And the added detail about Carrie Banahan is quite refreshing. Interesting to note that research has shown, when women enter a system, they change it for the better.

9. Per the sign in the OP photo: Pence VP of the Turd Reich. . . . nt

[Scarsdale]

10. Christian?

Sanctimonious little prick.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Pence proud to say 1st Christian, 2nd Conservative, 3rd Republican. No place for US Citizen. . . .nt

[packman]

11. Good - But remember the "Good" folks of Kentuck

didn't want anything to do with that there OBAMAcare - but change it to Kentucare (or some sort of other B.S.) and it is suddenly something they can't do without.

12. Kick,Kick,Kicked&Recommended!

[meow2u3]

14. Sign idea

Pence - VP of Cheez DooDoo in chief

[LuckyLib]

17. Here's a state that had a 21% uninsured rate before the ACA.

One fifth of the state had no medical coverage. Poor folks are hard-pressed to take to the streets. This just might move many more.

[sinkingfeeling]

19. Thanks, Kentucky!

[IrishEyes]

22. Good for them.

There are Democrats in Kentucky who voted for Clinton. Every red state has Democrats in it.

[Ilsa]

23. Thank you Kentucky DUers and Resistors! Great job! nt

[dalton99a]

25. Fantastic.

[SummerSnow]

26. trump will say...

[58Sunliner]

27. Beautiful!!!! Thank you demonstrators.

[MrPurple]

29. There's just not enough KY to make Trump's plans tolerable

Nice turnout in a red state.

[Cha]

31. KICK for Kentucky Resistence!

[nocalflea]

32. Every little bit helps.

[Norbert]

35. They vote against their best interests for coal jobs

The dumb shit and chief can't being most of these jobs back and probably doesn't really care anyway. They voted for the orange/red menace, Putz, and McConnell. Suckers.

[Warren DeMontague]

36. I like the poop hashtag.
