Every Republican Governor in KS is succeeded by a Demonrat in every election since 1964. If Kobach had won, he’d have broken a 54-year precedent. He knew it was uphill and ran anyway, despite those negative odds and the serious baggage of ex-Gov. Sam Brownback had on the GOP. People that paint him as a loser fail to cite this above fact.
Precedent, doesn’t mean much.
Brownback baggage, significant, but still, he got a pathetic % of the vote and lost by 5 points even with Orman taking from the rat. Coyler would have won.
That is an amazing fact!
