How can you say that? He won a statewide race as Secretary of State. He defeated the acting Governor in the primary, which probably hurt him in the general election in much the same way Cuccinelli lost in VA. Kris was also the chair of the GOP party in Kansas for two years 2007-09.
Kris has been targeted by the SPLC and the ACLU for his work on immigration. Kobach has been the national leader and the brains behind the movement to stop illegal immigration and to strengthen our borders. He has made Kansas a leader in stopping voter fraud.
I have worked with Kris on immigration issues for over a decade. He is one of the most honest and principled persons I have ever known. If he wins the Senate nomination in 2020, he will win the Senate race. The increased voter participation in a Presidential year will ensure a win.
That individual tends to use pejoratives and personal attacks in lieu of facts and substantive arguments.
