Is it worth it, though? It's still Kansas and he has a good chance of winning. Kobach is one of the most dangerous politicians in America and he cannot be allowed anywhere near the governor's mansion.

Yes

I'd be thrilled to flip Kansas, but even if Kobach was the nominee, he'd still probably be the favorite. He is an incredibly dangerous man.

If Kobach wins, then this race becomes a pure tossup. Orman would actually become a D ally in this case, because Rs who would have voted for Coyler would vote Orman, basically a siphon, but instead of siphoning our votes, it siphons R votes.

He's no different that Coyler. His public perception is worse but they are both on board for the same terrible policies.

Suggesting that there is no difference between Colyer and Kobach is downright ignorant and proves you have no clue what is happening in this state.

Moving on...I won't be shocked if Kobach wins, and he might even win by this much, but the crosstabs on this are way off, so I'm not trusting it. My take is that the race goes anywhere from Colyer +3 to Kobach +7, Kobach has the edge but it's nowhere near a done deal.

Yup. Perfect example was Roy Moore vs Luther Strange. And that ended up netting us an entire senate seat in freaking Alabama. This is also why I would've rather had Rokita over Braun.

Republicans are a cult. They're going to vote for Kobach no matter what (see sig.) The only people that Orman is going to draw from are moderate heroes that would've voted for the Democrat in a head to head race against Kobach. The fact that he was the de facto Democratic candidate in 2014 only solidifies this.

Probably not. But is Colyer much better? He's also a hard-right dude who was a birther.

Is Drumpf expected to endorse?

I still expect Kobach to lose to be honest. The undecided are mrobably leaning against him.

The nail in Colyer's coffin. Good riddance.

I don't like the idea of risking these kinds of people winning either, just look at Trump. It would also make him a potential rising star for the GOP's current reactionary form. I could see him being nominated by them in 2024 as Trump's heir...or should I say, apprentice.

To be fair, it's not just Republicans (in terms of providing overriding support to a candidate who shares the same party label as them). ~90% of Democrats will also vote for a Democrat in almost every conceivable race these days as well.
