This jerk ran for Senate in 2014, dems pulled their nominee (illegally) and backed him but he still lost. He seems to be under the illusion that he's special, not that democrats just turned to him in heavily Republican State.

I can't imagine they would pull their nominee for Governor so will this idiot actually help us this time by splitting the liberal vote so a conservative Republican wins?

Orman has professional and personal ties to former Goldman Sachs director Rajat Gupta,[16][17] and served as his designated representative on the board of New Silk Route, a private equity fund, from April 2013 until March 2014.[18][19] When Gupta was convicted of insider trading in 2012,[20][21] Orman said that “He is a friend of mine, he made a huge mistake, and he’s paying the price for it. It shocked me like it shocked a lot of people when it came out that he was charged with those things.”[2]

Kris Kobach should be the favorite for the governor’s race here in a strong Republican state. We can’t underestimate the power of the local medias to deceive folks though. That’s how we got the uber liberal Sebelius twice as governor.

I hope Kobach takes a page from President Trump and takes the lying Kansas media head on. He’ll be running against them and the dem party candidate anyways.

Trying to pull an insider, split the voters, distracting campaign to do three things. Break up the conservatives into small feuding groups, enable the GROPelites to win primaries, enable the democrats to win.

Orman is a Republican just like Mitt, Mitch and John is. All of them are Democrats....

That’s always the first question: Will he split the Democrat vote or will he split the Republican vote?

Obviously most of us outside of Kansas don’t know anything about him, so I guess you’re saying he’s more damaging to the Democrat?

If you asked me this question a year ago I'd say yeah. But now there are too many unknowns. The Republicans are headed for a contentious primary between Kobach, Colyer and, rumor has it, Yoder. The Democrats bench is pretty empty. The Brownback wing of the Republican party took big losses in the 2016 legislative elections. Orman could pull it out. Or he could be talked into running as a Democrat. Anything's possible.

businessman Wink Hartman

For all you Kansas voters, be aware that Wink Hartman tags all his vehicles in Florida to evade Kansas personal property tax. He owns a home in Florida, but this tells me he considers himself a Floridian, not a Kansan. So he disqualifies himself as a candidate for Kansas governor.

If I were the KS Dem party, I would not want this guy running as an Independent. He’s only going to take votes from them and benefit the GOP nominee, be it Colyer or Kobach.
