Fear that Kris Kobach will capture the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate is driving the effort to recruit Secretary of State Mike Pompeo into the race, according to GOP strategists with ties to Kansas.

Same old Bush League Republicans.

I’ll be voting for Trump, period. All this other stuff is junk and a waste of time.

Kobach is for enforcing immigration laws. So naturally the GOP establishment doesn’t want him in the Senate

Without more people in the Senate who agree with Trump, he can’t do much

Kobach is an illegal alien warrior, a solid conservative, and is detested by deep state RINOs.

GOP Strategists my ASS.

More Deep State/RINO strategists. Kobach is 100 times better than any of these RINOS could muster, including Pompeo..

I have it on good authority that “Fear of Kobach” was the working title of a book that Erica Jong and Philip Roth were writing together.

The Open Borders Globalists are really terrified of Kris.

Yeah, sure, it's fear of Kobach's positions that's driving this, not his massive blunder of a campaign last year, where he lost ruby red Kansas and let a Democrat become the state's Governor.

Any other losers you think the GOP should give another go? Roy Moore, Sharron Angle, Richard Mourdock? Next time they'll win for sure, right?

Has the gope NOT been exposed as more of the same, swamp creatures? DJT did a pretty neat job of poking a finger in the eye of the left, and presumably the gopey-dopes. Are they still a force, something to be feared?

The further away we get from the business-as-usual government and the closer to what the constitution describes and proscribes, the better we will be.

All examples of Bush League Republicans teaming up with Democrats to prevent anyone siding with the citizens from getting elected.

He has won statewide before

You mention Roy Moore. Wasn’t he the candidate because GOPe couldn’t abide Rep Mo Brooks bc he’s strong on immigration law enforcement?

You’re 100% right about voting for Trump. But your second sentence is 100% wrong. President Trump needs allies in all levels of government, most particularly in Congress.

Kobach is awesome - but his true calling is at DHS or as an advisor to Trump (like Stephen Miller) on immigration.

“Kobach is for enforcing immigration laws.”

He’s also obsessed with ending voter fraud.

Last time Kobach ran state wide he lost very badly. I think the Kansas GOP is worried about losing the Senate seat the same way if Kobach is the nominee.

And lost badly the last time he ran statewide. I think Kobach has pretty well exhausted his opportunities for elective office in Kansas.
