KS-SEN 2020 Megathread: Marshall overperforms and wins

[Sir Mohamed]

LOL @ KKKobach, (almost) the Kansas version of Roy Moore. Two annoying deplorables who never go away.

[Sir Mohamed]

If Kobach wins the nomination (very big if), Grissom should approach this the way Kelly did and prioritize getting endorsements from former GOP governors.

Not a big if, if Trump endorses him.

Kobach barely won the primary in 2018 with a Trump endorsement. Surely there will be at least a handful of GOP voters who decide he's unelectable and don't vote for him.

He won against an incumbent, who was always considered a stronger/less polarzing GE candidate. And Trump endorsement came pretty much last minute.

Listen to Solid, this will be a 2008 wave, 5-8 senate seats

LOL, Dems are happy to make it to a 50-50 tie and get a majority with the VP.

Pompeo looking to exit from State for a run but departure time uncertain.

Of course he should run if he was smart. Pompeo would be the first person Mr. Trump is loyal to other than himself.

What's the filing deadline in KS? Theoretically, the GOP candidate could withdraw in the months before the election, as happened in 2016 when Bayh made a late entry into IN-Sen. But I doubt any GOPer would be willing step aside after the primary only because Pompeo too late realized he made a miscalculation by sticking with Trump.

Mitch McConnell needs to go as Majority Leader,  his wife Elaine Chao worked for Bush W and for Trump. Its Quid Pro Quo

This is not the 1st reason McConnell needs to go. He needs to go for obstructing legislation and Obama's judical nominees. He has turned the once respected institution of the senate into a partisan circus and legislative graveyard. As of now, the senate GOP is a parlamentary arm of the "MAGA movement".

Bollier raised $1.1 million in... Kansas. Looks like she has a great shot.

This isn't much of an indicator. McGrath also raised a ton of money in KY, yet I'm sure she doesn't stand a chance against the old turtle. KS will be more competitive, but this is still a likely R race.
