KS-SEN 2020 Megathread: Marshall overperforms and wins

[President Johnson]

That made me laugh, KKKochbach trying again. This guy never gives up, doesn't he? If he wins the nomination: Likely Republican -> Tossup/tilt Republican. I'm pretty sure the God Emperor will endorse him in the primary, what will carry him over the finish line. This time, he can actually tweet "strong at the border", unlike the last time, as the governor of Kansas has nothing to do with the southern border.

Also looks like Colyer is considering and we see another matchup between the two?

[President Johnson]

I hope Kobach wins the Republican nomination. Its the difference between whether this race is Likely R or Lean D.

I wouldn't go to lean Democratic for now, though this may change if polls show KKKobach trailing in October 2020. Gubernatorial races are less nationalzed and Kansas has been Democratic-friendlier here over the past decades while we haven't seen a Democrat elected to the senate in a pretty long time.

[President Johnson]

Pompeo is betting on Trump's reelection? Bold.

[President Johnson]

So what would a Democratic win look like on the map? The same counties Laura Kelly won last year? Is that possible? It would be nice to pick this one up.

[President Johnson]

I don't understand why people think Kobach is going to get Moore'd.
Kansas is a republican state. They elected some democrat governors in the past, but democrat senator? The last time it happened was in the 1930's.

Well, I think any Democrat is still an underdog even with KKKobach, but he's a terrible candidate and in Kansas suburbs are a lot of more moderate Republicans who are potentially willing to elect a Democrat as long as he or she isn't far-left. As former Republican, Barbara Boullier could garner a decent amount of support here. In this matchup, the seat isn't less likely to flip than Ernst losing Iowa. And far more likely than Moscow Mitch losing.

GreenfIeld, McGrath and Kelly have been raising tons of money

Ask Jeb! how well tons of money are going if you don't run a good campaign.

Kobach called on Marshall to condemn the GOP Chair’s actions, Marshall had a feisty response:https://twitter.com/RogerMarshallMD/status/1253774218514386951?s=20

I want Kobach to win the primary so he can lose again in the general, but man this is freaking awesome.

I'm not sure I want to take the risk nominating KKKobach and having this guy in the senate. Marshall is pretty bad as well, but not that insane. The polling is encouraging, but I wouldn't put too much stock into that at this point.

[President Johnson]

Is there any chance Mike Pompeo makes a last minute entry? The filing deadline is June 1. Trump's reelection chances have decreased over last few months and Pompeo certainly is aware of that. If he doesn't want to end up in the politicial wilderness by January 2021, I'd reconsider my options if I was in his shoes. He would most likely win the nomination and general election.
