Kansas Megathread: Kobach and Kelly and Orman, Oh My!

[RogueBeaver]

Salt shaker, but Trafalgar has Kobach up 43/36/11.

[Zaybay]

If Kobach wins this, which is becoming more and more likely, this race is pure tossup. Hes that bad. Literally anyone else and this race is lean-likely R.

[smoltchanov]

I always remember old saying "it takes two to dance Tango". And can't agree that one side is to blame for everything, while another - completely consists only of "knights in shining armor". When i read statements of the candidates of both major party i am frequently tempted to say "plague on both your houses!"

lmao

Very good. I hoped for such reaction from "solid progressive")))))

Trump tweet for Kobach.

[Politician]

Colyer's going to get Cagle'd.

Trump tweet for Kobach.

Hallelujah there’s a God

[TheSaint250]

Shame

[tmthforu94]

Disappointing. Slim Colyer chance remains, keep in mind Trump finished third in the caucuses and is not popular in urban areas that Kobach needs to do well in. Still, race is likely Kobach, I’d be surprised if he loses.

The race is now Leans D!

[Landslide Lyndon]

Why is he always doing this the last minute?

[GeorgiaModerate]

Why is he always doing this the last minute?

I suspect that a lot of it is that he thinks he knows which way things are going, and wants to be seen as having influenced the winner (e.g. Kemp in Georgia -- Kemp was going to win anyway before Trump jumped on the bandwagon.)

[President Johnson]

Trump tweet for Kobach.

Not surprising. Goodbye Mr. Colyer.

Kobach strong on the border? Donny, you realize what a governor's role is and you also find Kansas in a map?

He wants to keep out the liberals from Colorado.

Sure, with all that drug money.

Colyer gets Blanched in the primary.

Don’t know that I would go that far yet!

If Kobach is the nominee who will you support/vote for?

If Josh Svaty is the candidate it is, but if not, tossup or tilt R.

[tmthforu94]

Don’t have the link but Colyer internal has him up 34-32. The positive is that a good chunk of undecideds are moderate voters who will be unswayed by Trump endorsement, if anything may draw them more to Colyer. I’d also like to gripe that if this were a two way race, Colyer would still probably win. Barnett is definitely a spoiler candidate.

Uh, Kevin Yoder is very blatantly trying to swing the KS-03 primary towards Welder. This strange ad features upbeat stuff about Welder and only at the end sneaks in "too progressive for Kansas". It's a McCaskill move!

Sad! Now you're getting a taste of how I feel when I see Democrats cheering on Kobach!!!

FWIW, I fully realize Welder is the weakest and because of that, I won't be too upset if he wins. But I'd strongly prefer that Niermann or Davids win tomorrow, they might be stronger but I honestly wouldn't mind having either of them as my representative.

Kansas needs a jungle primary (preferably top 4 with RCV runoff) to prevent jokes like Orman.

Kansas needs a jungle primary (preferably top 4 with RCV runoff) to prevent jokes like Orman.

A jungle primary could actually strengthen his campaign as more potential voters wouldn't be hounded as much for being "spoilers."

[Greedo punched first]

A jungle primary would hurt Kobach. It would help Kelly, Colyer, Svaty, Orman, or Brewer.
