No outsiders allowed in McConnell's Senate!!
96 years old.
True, but if he is sqweaky clean like Trump, and has a ton of money for advertising, he may win anyways.
Re. Bob Dole: You can take the senator out of the swamp, but you can’t take the swamp out of the senator.
Kobach has no chance of winning if Cocaine Mitch won’t back him.
Why do so many here want to re-nominate losers? Kobach, Roy Moore... these are people that blundered away races in some of the reddest states in the country. Why give them a second chance?
Kobach is a border security hawk, and a SOLID conservative.
I wish Kansas was deep red but it’s not. Kobach lost to a left wing woman for governor. I think he would running for the senate.
Swamp gotta swamp.
Bob Dole: Tax Collector for the Welfare State.

Nobody gives a rats ass about Bob Dole’s endorsement.
I think Bob has less lucid moments than the first Lassie.
Last time I saw him he looked older than a 1923 plow. The plow had less rust and looked more agile.
It never ceases to amaze me how much possibility the Republican leadership is willing to scoop up with both hands and toss out the window going down the road.
Establishment / non-establishment argument aside - isn’t Kobach already a proven loser? Significant resources would have to be expended to try to hold this Senate seat in Kansas if he is nominated whereas it would essentially be over with the nomination otherwise...and we don’t need to have to spend a lot of money in Kansas of all places.
One good thing I will say about Bob Dole is that he stood by candidate Donald Trump.
Marshall is a good one, but I wish we could utilize Kobach.
I would endorse and vote for Kobach in a heartbeat, but unfortunately he cannot win. While Kansas is solidly Republican, it is not solidly conservative. Many of Kansas Republican are descendants of the original Republicans who came to Kansas from Massachusetts and Connecticut to ensure that Kansas was admitted to the Union as a Free State.
If you want to meet these people, go to Massachusetts Street in Lawrence and visit the Free State Brewery. While most of those people are actually Democrats these days, the mainstream Republicans in this state are of the same ilk. They are liberals, not conservatives. They have trashed Kobach, lied about him, and have spent Soros money to ensure that he can never be elected. That’s why Kansas Senators are faux conservatives and Roberts replacement will probably be the same.
Bush League Republicans always help the Democrat win if the citizens get a conservative nominated.
Dole is just following the Buckley rule: the most conservative electable candidate.
