Option #2 is the correct one.
Kansas is, normally, such a reliably Republican state that anyone who wants to get elected to anything calls themselves a “Republican” no matter what their true beliefs (or lack thereof) are. They are the epitome of the epithet, RINO.
The typical RINO politician who loses a primary, as happened to these particular traitors, would **MUCH** rather see a liberal Democrat get power than a conservative Republican. They hate and fear conservatives in their own party far more than they hate any liberal or Democrat.
It happens with RINO voters too, not just politicians, and that explains how an flaming liberal like Sebelius can get elected from time to time (plus, her daddy was a Republican; maybe some folks were confused).
When the roles are reversed and a RINO wins a primary over a real Republican, the RINOs incessantly preach that conservatives need to “get over it” and “accept defeat” and vote for the RINO in November instead of staying home or voting 3rd party, etc.
It’s a one-way street with those chumps, and I’m glad that this group got run over.
The Republicans hold "super majorities" in both chambers of the state legislature, so it makes perfect sense that a rat who wants to get elected in Kansas needs to sneak around and lie and call him/herself a "Republican". I have little doubt that most, if not all, of these six liberal scumbags were Democrats from Democrat families their entire lives until they decided to play the politics game. Then they did what Democrats do - - they lied, and pretended to be Republicans in order to get elected.
These scumbags voted for Ubama and they will vote for Ubama again.
Guaranteed.
Congratulations to Kansas for flushing these six turds down the toilet.
I'm truly vexed about whether or to vote for Wolfe or leave the spot blank.
