The fake “Independents” will caucus with the Democrats, Bernie Sanders does, so they win.
I don’t know anything about Roberts. Is he at least semi conservative?
The GOPe is to blame for this mess. Pat Roberts should have retired the instant it was revealed he lives in Virginia. Now he’s vulnerable.
I just read this from the Wichita Eagle online. Sounds like Orman polls better head to head with Roberts so that may be why Taylor pulled out to help his fellow liberal democrat, er, “independent”, lol
CGato
I have great difficulty seeing how this will “complicate” things for Roberts. One of the big advantages enjoyed by demoncraps is that they have a built-in zombie base that will always vote for the ‘D’. It’s hard for me to imagine that the absence of a ‘D’ could be construed as anything other than a good thing.
| Poll | Date | Roberts (R) | Taylor (D) | Orman (I) | Spread | |
| SurveyUSA | 8/20 - 8/23 | 37 | 32 | 20 | Roberts +5 | |
| PPP (D) | 8/14 - 8/17 | 32 | 25 | 23 | Roberts +7 | |
| SurveyUSA | 7/17 - 7/22 | 38 | 33 | 14 | Roberts +5 | |
they elected bamey in 2012 and Frankin and a multitude of others....
Good. I hope the Republicans get their asses kicked in November. The party stands for nothing, hasn’t done anything squat about Obama and his reckless policies, and has protected geriatric incumbents like Roberts and Cochran while giving conservatives the shaft. I honestly don’t care if the Rats takeover Congress.
Lol!
I was’ t even sure Taylor was a democrat.
His big sign over 18th expressway is “Vote Moderate”. With nary an indication he is a Democrat.
They have really been pushing that “Vote Moderate” crap here. With little success.
One thing that may figure in to this political calculus, and that is the fact that absent Taylor, Obama is taken out of the Democrat's weakness in the election. He would probably have been an albatross around Taylor's neck. Now Orman can run as an Independent (who will, if he wins, caucus with the Democrats like Sanders). Final analysis: Democrats win.
this is a test to see how many idiots they can get to crossover by making their guy appear more liberal, conservative or whatever they think will get them the win. It’s a test for 2016.
I hope the voters don’t fall for it.
Losertarians and Reid cheerleaders would do anything to elect the donkeys by not supporting the GOP finalist. Then come here and babble about defeating a RINO and how it was the GOP’s fault for not having a “pure” doctrine.
Never mind that the Senate remains in the donkey hands.
Bob Dole may have to make a trip to Russell to shore up Roberts for November 4.
I agree it seems likely a Game is being played on the people of Kansas. A democrat with a real chance of winning drops out, why?
The criminal gang of Democrats strikes again. Pat Roberts spent millions defeating the tea party, now he’s currently powerless against the “independent” candidate.
These red states really need to start understanding the implication of their votes for these Democrats masquerading as independents.
Harry Reid will stop at NOTHING to hold on to power like the rat that he is.
