Good strategy? Who put the meth in your coffee?
Orman would be THE MOST LIBERAL “RINO” in Congress. Also he could very easily LIE TO WOLFE and flip flop back to the democrats.
Wolfe is a scumbag if he does this, period. A RINO backing a democrat out of spite. I don’t know how anyone can call themselves a conservative and back a GD liberal piece of crap like Orman.
You’re right.
Let Orman caucus with the democrats. Harry Reid has been such a good leader.
It could be a draw play on Wolf’s part. Orman’s being coy, and a lot of people really buy that he’s open minded about who he’s caucusing with.
So Wolf dangles a guaranteed win in return for caususing with Republicans in front of him, believing that Ormans already agreed (or at least decided) to caucus with the Dems, in order to get Orman on the record.
Now if Wolf is smart he has a deal cut with the GOP: if Orman refuses he endorses Roberts in trade for support in running for office down the road, perhaps even as Roberts successor in 2020.
Good strategy strictly from the point of view of taking over control of the Senate. Certainly Orman would be very much a RINO. Whether or not he’d “flip-flop” might well depend on the election results elsewhere. If it’s 51-49 with him caucusing with the GOP, he’d probably flip-flop. If it’s 52 or more GOP seats, he’d probably stay with the GOP. A liberal is concerned with one thing above all - maximizing his own power. Being with the majority rather than the minority gives a senator more power.
Count me embarrassed, I had rooted for Milton Wolf. If I lived in Kansas, I’d hold my nose and vote for the carpet bagging fossil Pat Roberts.
