Although it’s Ryun’s honor to seek a rematch, I do have my concerns about his candidacy. He might be able to win it back, but I only put it at 50-50. The question is whether we could find another strong Conservative for this seat. Lynn Jenkins is a pro-abort RINO, and that’s a no-go.
What is it with Republicans with questionable financial dealings seeking re-matches? First Taylor and now Ryun. Didn’t they learn anything from Dornan or McEwen?
I don't know the 2nd well enough to know who the potential candidates are, but the important thing is to get the party united behind one candidate, avoid a destructive primary, and present a united front against Boyda. A job for our new state GOP chair, if he's up for it.
Let me paraphrase a long-popular song:
“He (Ryun) blew it before, and he will blow it again.”
Republicans have lost this district with defective candidates in the past (during the late 1970’s, there was a Congressman Jeffries who delivered this seat to Jim Slattery for 12 years). Right now, the best candidate for Republicans would be former state House Speaker Doug Mays. Lynn Jenkins is far from perfect, but at least she would win the general election.
