Kander is dropping out of the KC race to seek treatment for PTSD and depression

[BuckeyeNut]

Well I suppose it's an interesting dilemma for Kander. On one hand, if he wants to stay relevant, he probably needs to run for some sort of office, but if he does, he could end up hurting himself if the office he runs for ends up saddling him with baggage. Running a city seems like a fairly good way to do that, although it could also end up being a net benefit for him in the end.

Also Kansas City doesn't have the same stigma St.  Louis has and is actually growing.  It's not seen as a hopeless cause to the rest of the state.

I think Kander would be great on MO 05. Depending on suburban trends it could end up as a dummy mander past 2020 redistricting.

Also there really is no one besides McCaskill who could beat Parson imo.

Do you think the Black community is going to give the seat to Kander, because he is a rising star.

Emmanuel is 74.  How long does he want to be the representative?  Does Emmanuel have political children?  I am sure he will step aside for Kander
