Unlikely. Roberts is one of only a handful of 6 or 7 GOP senators who stood WITH Ted Cruz during his filibuster. The REST of the senate Republicans caved.

Why you feel the need to eat our own instead of going after liberal DemonRats and RINOs is beyond me. Most freepers would gladly take Roberts over their own Senator and would walk over broken glass to vote for him IF they had the chance in their state, because the vast majority of Senators in office right now are worse than Roberts.

It's hard to identify with the pro-Wolf Kansas conservatives who cry about how terrible it is having a Senator who does the right thing "only" 90% of the time. They don't know how good they have it. Maybe if they had to live with Barbara Boxer or Dick Durbin to "represent" them, they'd stop taking it for granted.

Roberts was up for reelection. Is it really a surprise he attached his lips to Cruz’s posterior? Hatch did much the same a couple years ago. How has that worked out?

Roberts has a good conservative voting record. He is no Rino, but neither is he perfect—I can’t seem to find a perfect.
