Not at all sorry for voting for Roberts. When you looked at Wolf in detail, he was not a very good candidate and lacked lots of experience. Bring better candidates to the table and I will consider them. Until then, Roberts is a good conservative presence in the Senate until he can be replaced with someone better.

Not sure why you are so bitter towards him unless you’ve fallen for the agitation of the left, trying to lump all republicans in the same category as Cochran and McConnell, which Roberts is most definitely NOT if you look at his voting record and conservative positions.

The left is pulling out all the stops in trying to defeat Roberts, including trying to agitate conservatives, this should tell people all they need to know how they would fear Robert’s vote, especially since he would most likely caucus with Ted Cruz. They are not that far apart on many conservative issues. I’d much rather have that than give the seat up to a liberal that will side with Dingy Harry and help keep him in power. I understand people’s frustrations but this mess we have in America didn’t happen overnight and it won’t be fixed overnight.

I am not bitter! I am just very tired of the same old turds being re-elected decade after decade. That is not what the framers intended service in the Congress to be. Guys like Roberts ( and that other Septuagenarian, Urine Hatch (RINO, UT) have been in the Senate far too long, and I guess it’s the voters fault that they continually take the easy route and return these people to office ad nauseum.
I don’t live in KS so my feelings in this particular case don’t matter, but if I had been there, I’d have gone for Wolf if for no other reason to change the dynamic in the Senate. Cochran, McConnell, Hatch, et.al., have all outlived their usefulness as legislators. Now it’s all about them, or they would retire and move new, young people into their seats to allow for a natural generational transition. But they are all selfish, and prefer to go from their Senate seats to the local cemetery. Just a shame we let them do it!
