Marshall hails from the establishment “Moderate” wing of the KS GOP, which ain’t Conservative. He defeated an excellent Conservative Congressman in Tim Huelskamp. His record has been utterly mediocre since his election.

"Why do you act like the options in the GOP primary are Kobach or Olympia Snowe?"

Because THAT is the reality. Marshall hails from the left wing of the party opposed to Conservatives. He was responsible for taking out excellent-voting Congressman Tim Huelskamp, and has been a mediocre successor. There's nothing he's done to warrant a promotion to the Senate. It's already overrun with mediocrities.

Tell you what, I’ll get a baseball bat and take out both your kneecaps. When you fail to stand up, I’ll blame you for being a loser.

All you guys screaming “loser” choose to conveniently ignore certain political realities that go beyond the candidate. By that reckoning, you would’ve called Ronald Reagan a loser. It was his 3rd time running for President in 1980. He floated a run in 1968, failed to win outright in 1976 and was running again in 1980. BTW, he was set to run for Senator in 1974 against Alan Cranston at the end of his two terms as Governor in order to stay visible on the national scene, but because of the anti-GOP atmosphere of that year, he declined. “Loser.”

Fun fact: Kansas was going to elect a Democrat Governor in 2018, period. Since 1964-onwards, they have alternated parties for Governor. It wouldn’t have mattered the nominee, be it Kobach or Jeff Colyer. The unpopularity of Sam Brownback harmed the standing of the party statewide, and both of those gentlemen had to carry that baggage with them. I’m sorry if that reality gets in the way of your gratuitous attacks on Kobach.

Everytime I see Kobach he impresses me with his demeanor, his knowledge and his passion.

He is one of the few politicians to whom I sent money.

What the heck is so wrong with him that Freepers hate him so much.

What mortal sin did he commit?

Maybe they are Open Borders freepers. I remember Kris Kobach from Prop 187 when California fought illegal immigration all on its own way back in 1994.

We had to fight the national GOP establishment along with the Democrats and Mexico to pass it. Even the dimwitted, Mexico first Republican Governor of Texas flew out here to side with Mexico against the grassroots voters of California.

Kobach is solid conservative and I don’t trust any lib or their polls.
