This kind of stuff exposes the Republicrat Party more than anything else.

The Democrats don't screw around with putting US Senate seats at risk - but the "Republicant's" routinely do it.

And I'm not talking about the Kobach side of it, or the McConnell side of it.

I'm talking BOTH.

It's like Alabama, where Roy Moore dropped the ball to Doug Jones.

But this is all right:

Earlier this month, a super PAC with ties to Democrats began airing television ads in Kansas, casting Kobach as a firm ally of Trump who “won’t compromise on building the wall or getting tough on China.”

This is the same thing the Dems did in 2012 with Todd Akin. They're very clever. They know who the loser would be.

But “The Loser Kobach” won’t get the hint...

McConnell’s endorsement is hardly a positive for the GOP establishment.

Todd Akin destroyed himself. He had no one to blame but himself.

That is how Doug Jones (Democrat) won the Alabama Senate seat.

Trumps refusal to endorse a solid nationalist like Kobach speaks volumes. TRUMP HATES TO ENDORSE LOSERS.

Yes, and who's to blame for Kris Kobach losing ruby-red Kansas in 2018? No one but him as far as I am concerned.

For the life of me, I don't get why people want to re-run known losers. If you lose a statewide race as a Republican in Kansas (Kobach) or Alabama (Roy Moore), the GOP primary electorate absolutely should move on and find someone else.

And Kobach made his own bed, now he has to lie in it.

Republican officials are scrambling to head off potential political trouble in Kansas, fearing that the state’s Senate seat could come into play for Democrats if Kris Kobach emerges victorious in a GOP primary on Tuesday

And why, pray tell, "Republican officials", would this seat come in to play for the Democrats if Kobach wins the nomination?

He surely will have your full-throated support, financially and otherwise, right? Just like the Democrats always go all out for their nominee, whoever it is, right?

You're not suggesting that you will form a "never Kobach" movement, are you?

I seem to remember this guy being good on immigration.

But this has to be some BS...” Access to a government jet 24 hours a day. An office in the West Wing, plus guaranteed weekends off for family time. And an assurance of being made secretary of homeland security by November.

Those were among a list of 10 conditions that Kris Kobach, the former Kansas secretary of state, has given to the White House if he is to become the administration’s “immigration czar,””....NYT so probably is.

Guess they remember how he blundered away the governorship not even two full years ago.

“...the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a super PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) went on the airwaves in Kansas earlier this month to boost Marshall ahead of the primary....”
**************************************
Well, there you go. The open borders Chamber of Commerce is signaling who the globalists want and it’s not Kobach.

VOTE KOBACH!

Because in 2018 Kobach lost the six largest counties in the state by an average of 20 points. And that was in a three way race against two Democrats.

Moore didn’t drop the ball, he was clusterf*cked by the corrupt RINO Establishment. Shelby and the like fixed it for Demonrat Jones.

They needs to be an entire FLUSH of those serving in the Senate and Congress, people who haven;t had the Beltway Virus and been drinking the Kool Aid from the Potomac.
