The Turtle and the Chamber of Commerce did this to Marlin Stutzman a few years back.

He wasn’t a “Team Player” while in the House, so they worked hard to smear him in the Primary

I have no doubt that the Kansas COP and the national GOP think Kobach is the only candidate who might be capable of losing the seat to a Democrat. They're out to make sure that doesn't happen.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with be rock-solid on his anti-illegal alien positions, right?

No thanks on being prudent. That tactic has America on the brink of ruin.

And where is the President telling the Republican officials to stay out of the race and let the people of Kansas decide?

Kobach made a huge mistake by running for governor as Brownback Term 3. The state was tired of Sam Brownback. I think that Kobach would make a fine senator who would be as conservative as anyone in the Senate. The only Republicans truly offended by Kobach are the type of country-club Republicans who I love to see offended. Kobach will be a hundred times better than whoever the Democrats put up.

Kobach seems, like Moore, to campaign via media coverage more than anything else. I’d like to hear about him doing retail politics like Beto O’Rourke, who came within a few points of Cruz. Seems to me that his head is in the clouds talking about high level stuff instead of talking to voters district by district the way O’Rourke did.

Kobach had his chance and blew it. He is a very weak candidate.

‘Kavanaugh denied unequivocally the charges made against him, something that Roy Moore, when presented with an opportunity, was unable to do...Moore’s campaign died on the Sean Hannity show.’

Agree - but it was because Moore didn’t know how to lie. The place to adjudicate whether it was right or wrong to date young girls is not during a heated election campaign, it’s before or after. The Democrats knew that all they needed to do was instill doubt in 20 percent of Republican voters and once Moore said ‘even if I did, it was still legal’, it was over.

To put it another way, considering that we have the left and media stacked against us, sometimes we have to FLAT-OUT LIE to win, which, of course, the Dems do on a daily basis. We don’t have the luxury of ever getting the benefit of the doubt. Roy should have that all the stories are fake and are simply the Democrat playbook. Like Trump, he probably would have won, providing that the Dems couldn’t come up with any real evidence. After that, he could come clean, if he chose to.

We either play by DEMOCRAT RULES, or we lose, and this was a PERFECT EXAMPLE of what that means.

Yep, we should only vote for candidates approved by the Cheap Labor Express.

If the GOPe doesn’t like him then I guess he is ok.

Trump’s massive coat tails are going to sweep in Republicans in ‘20. Might as well get MAGA types to run!
