Two other reasons Kobach lost was: (1) that Planned Parenthood has an iron grip on Kansas, especially now that Geo. Tiller’s bloody billions aren’t buying each elected Kansas office and (2) Kobach is so unabashedly pro-America when it comes to jobs among other reasons, the Koch Brothers, the US Chambers of Commerce, Kansas NEA and every other Open Borders donor had to stop him and Kansas from enacting some of Kobach’s and Trump’s long-held values, i.e. English only; ending welfare programs, housing, college tuition for illegal aliens, etc.
Koback’s like President Trump’s values run headlong against the One World Order crowd, and that displeases not only liberal DemocRATs but liberal RINOs and each and every communist in the US!
Kobach lost because he got his clock cleaned in the five or six most populous counties in Kansas by an average of 25 points. That isn't going to change this time around.
