Ask him why he thinks veterans who got cancer from service shouldn't get cancer treatment.

Oh I’m not going. But it’s a good sign that douchy rich people in joco aren’t voting Kobach

I assume you are referring to Laura Kelly becoming the governor of KS?

Or that people like me are again willing to work with people like the Kansas Livestock Association and vice versa.

I think KLA has to be a bit terrified of his anti-immigrant rhetoric. Without humans who are economically desperate enough to work in the packing plants, the Kansas beef industry is in a very bad place.

Oh, I was thinking Tracy Mann. He wouldn't be in Overland Park, anyway.

Polling has proven to be increasingly ineffective and irrelevant. This one, in particular, means diddly dick.

I'm inclined to agree, while I'm also aware that I'm biased because I hope it to be the case. Still, the experience in Kansas on August 2 looms large in my mind. They missed it big time, and we are seeing a similar trend of female new voters outpacing male new voters at notable margins throughout the country. Is that baked in? It wasn't in Kansas.

I saw a brit Hume or someone similar tweet about this recently. Their internal polling had to call over 1000 people to get a single response or some silly number. It seems to be a dead industry but at least that increases the suspense.

When we launch perpetual investigations and impeachment proceeding over made up things and because we’re mad our candidate didn’t win . . . That’s Democracy at work (#blueanon)

ranked choice voting makes this understandable, but still pretty wild.

The OK governor’s race is neck & neck. Our governor is a tall, corrupt, pure ego Republican. He’s had multiple scandals for no-bid contracts, wasted tons of money, & pushed school choice to move funds from public to private schools even though much of his rural base doesn’t have access to private schools. He’s tied himself to his Secretary of Ed who is running for state superintendent. The Secretary of Ed is constantly posting videos of him in his car bitching about school bathrooms because of Stillwater HS & teachers being woke. He also constantly pushes for school choice & it’s recently come out he has a $140,000 side job as the executive director of a school a choice think tank.

The governor also has a very online Director of Comms whose feed looks like she’s auditioning for a show on NewsMax. Here is a tweet of her’s this morning where she liked an article’s headlines so she shared it, but she didn’t read it & the article is critical about how he’s wasted millions of dollars through multiple scandals. If very red OK ends up with a dem governor (she was a moderate Republican until 2 years ago then switched to challenge) this inept crap of the current regime is why.
