On a number of boards, the KS Senate seat just moved from solid R to likely R

people vote cross party for governors much more often than for senators.  also, this is a presidential election year.  how many trump/dem senator instead of kobach voters do you think there are in kansas?

Kkkris being the nominee is win-win for KS libderps. He's easily the most vulnerable candidate, and also if he wins the general he'll have zero difference in voting record from any other pub, but also do further brand damage while in power (which most KS pubs wouldn't do)

This is true, but he's also very likely going to run ~8-10 points behind Moran even in a Presidential year.  Maybe Beto can establish Kansas residency?

I'm not sure what Moran has to do with anything. Isn't he running for the seat being vacated by Roberts?

seems optimistic.


i'd like to see more carpetbagger politicians.  i think it would probably work out better than people seem to assume.

Yes, he's running for the Senate seat vacated by Roberts.  My point is Moran won with 62% in a Presidential election year (8 points ahead of Trump!) and there is no possible way Kobach does that.  I think Pompeo would be a very safe pick and there are probably other very safe picks out there.  Kobach is likely going to absolutely max out at low 50's assuming no credible 3rd party and a bad Dem.

Trump is only +2 approval in Kansas. It is still unlikely but if Kobach is the nominee it will be competitive if he runs worse than Trump again at that number he could easily lose.

approval isn't the same as voting intention.  show me a poll that puts trump within 10 of a generic dem candidate in ks and i'll consider if kobach matters.

Of course not, but we also have the last election to go on.
