TOPEKA, Kan. -- It's the day after election day.
While many Kansas voters woke up this morning happy their candidate won, many also got out of bed, shaking their head, disappointed in last night's result.
But, one person who doesnt live in the Sunflower State, seems especially upset.
"Kansas is dead to me"
Conservative social and political commentator Ann Coulter tweeted her apparent dissatisfaction with the Sunflower State Tuesday evening. Now, the tweet just consisted of those five words and didn't say specifically why she was upset, she likely is referring to Kris Kobach's loss in the governor's race and Kevin Yoder losing the 3rd District Congressional seat.

Ann Coulter has been dead to me
They did vote to continue the invasion and colonization of the USA.
I grew up there. In those days it was one of the most conservative places on earth. I can’t imagine what’s happened to the poor people of that state that would allow libs to have any significant degree of success there. Have liberal teachers really changed the complexion of that state? I know they, or some of them, were trying when I was a kid back in the 50s and 60s, but it wasn’t really taking hold as far as I could tell. Pathetic.
She tweeted vile things about Ted Cruz last night. She is deranged.
She hasn’t liked Kansas since they dropped a house on her sister.
The 3rd congressional district includes Wyandotte and Douglas counties. One is radical urban, the other radical university. Add Johnson county becoming more liberal (Hillary won by 3%) and the district is now democrat socialist. In KANSAS!
Pathetic indeed.
Johnson County snowflakes. Lots of money, short on brains.
The GOPe saw Yoder and Koback as too Trumpian in nature (especially Kobach), so they did what all good GOPers do in such a case, they supported the "not Trump" person regardless of their stance. In TV and print ads across the state the message was, "This Dem isn't that bad, it's OK to vote for them". The people of Kansas were lied to and betrayed by the GOPe. Ultimately though, that doesn't excuse the voters for being willfully uniformed; they will reap what they have sown. It does explain the situation a bit, though.
Douglas county got moved to the 2nd district some election cycles ago. Right now Kansas 3rd is Wyandotte, Johnson, and a small part of Miami.
Kansas is a unique state with a strong moderate GOP streak in addition to conservatism, especially in more country club KC areas. That’s why the Dem won both races.
It can easily flip back next election if Trump can find a way to make inroads into those folks by focusing more on economic issues. He can still be strong on immigration, but there is no doubt his focus on that to the exclusion of pocketbook issues hurt him in suburban areas.
Brownback happened. You want to get the Johnson Countians riled up then mess with their school funding. Brownback did, and Kobach promised more of the same. That's why he lost.
This election, my first in Kansas, was a YUGE disappointment to me.
Left Gov. Abbott in Texas and two Rep Senators, Cruz and Cornyn. To now have Laura Kelly and Sharice Davids is double disappointing.
I did go to the rally last week with VP Pence but he was not enough to pull Kobach and Yoder across the finish line.
GOPe went all out to destroy him.
When it comes right down to it it’s an agricultural state. All those conservative farmer types became whores when they had the chance to hire cheap Mexican labor.
Sold the country out for 30 pieces of silver
Why is it soooo fashionable to keep kicking Anne for Romney..?
Hers is THE very most forceful voice against illegal immigration.
Ya just CAN’T help some people...
There's a lot of people who think Kobach won Johnson County in the primary because people there thought he'd be easier to beat in the general. Looks like they were right.
It's easy to blame it all on Johnson, Wyandotte, and Douglas Counties. But Kobach also lost Sedgewick County (Wichita), Shawnee County (Topeka), and Lyon County (Emporia). As well as a few others. This was a pretty decisive rebuke for him, and it doesn't bode well for his chances of replacing Roberts next time around.
The problem with “Conservative” states I’d they ate generally LOW POPULATION, like Montana and Colorado.
Once a migration of urban libtards moves into such states, it OVERWHELMS the native population.
Such has occurred in Montana, Colorado, Vermont, among others. Even states like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Florida and Virginia have suffered by an inflow of leftists from neighboring sewer states.
