It’ll work out. Are you saying he shouldn’t have cut taxes? They don’t work?
My point was to make clear that Kansas state Republicans have a long history of division. This isn’t like Texas Republicans where a vast conservative leaning majority battle with a 20 percent moderate faction and most always win. Kansas has old-line “Main Street” or mercantile Republican moderates who don’t hold critical issues like Pro-Life central to their Republican member ship.
Kansas has had Democrat Governors off and on for fifty years due to that fairly even split and lack of unity. That is a plain fact. I have met all of those from 1967 through ding dong Sebielius. Out of the last nine Governors in a state that always goes Republican in the national election, five of the nine have been Democrats and this disunity due to blooding fighting is the reason why.
I completely agree with your observations. You clearly understand this quite well.
Haven't been working the way he had hoped. He's got quite a deficit to fill and the question will be what they cut to eliminate it. Hack away at the schools even more and you turn even more of the Johnson Countians away from you.
Brownback ran for governor for one reason; he wants to be president. He is no doubt hoping to leverage two elections as governor into the vice-presidency in the 2016. This could derail his plans.
