Roberts was always the Conservative choice.

You're speaking for yourself. Many conservatives did not choose Roberts in the primary for reasons of his association with the family legacy, permanent Washington political class phenomenon. You are correct about where things stand now.

Many Kansas Republicans are Democrats in thoughts, words, and deeds but who cannot bring themselves to become Democrats and seldom vote for them. Orman calls himself an independent, so he's a safe choice. Of course, he's a Democrat and the more this McCaskill scheme becomes known, the less viable Orman will be.

I find it curious how folks are trying to have it both ways. If Roberts was “unacceptable” to Conservatives for the claims made against him, that means the “Moderates” (sic) would be ecstatic at his renomination and Orman’s support (prior to the Dem candidate withdrawal) would’ve been paltry. But said “Moderates” don’t like that Roberts is an actual Conservative (more so than anyone else in 50 years, including Moran) and they’re supporting Orman.

If disgruntled Wolf supporters are supporting the leftist Orman (now the candidate of both the Democrats and the “Moderate” Republicans), that would mean they weren’t really Conservative to begin with, hence my conclusion about Roberts being the Conservative choice in the primary.
