McConnell didn’t want Trump to win.
Having primaries “won” by candidates when more than half the party votes against them is foolishness.
Newt Gingrich: Dems’ attempt to flip Senate could be determined by this Republican primary Tuesday
Fox News

“The Democrats have invented Sunflower State PAC, which has already spent $2.5 million propping up Kobach and attacking Congressman Roger Marshall, R-Kan. The PAC will spend another $2.2 million against Marshall before the primary Tuesday.
As James Arkin reported in Politico on July 15: “Sunflower State has apparent ties to Democrats. The media buyer used to place the ad, Old Town Media, was also used to place more than $11 million in ads from Unite the Country, the pro-Joe Biden super PAC that spent heavily in the Democratic presidential primary. Sunflower State also holds its account at Amalgamated Bank, which is used by Senate Majority PAC,...”
See Marshall’s positions for yourself. Looks like a straight conservative, especially on our Second Amendment.

Sometimes, really good people, are just not good at getting elected, for whatever reasons.
Dan Bongino is another of those people. He ran for office at least twice, but lost. C’est la vie (& ‘harvested votes!’)
Democrats were actively running pro-Kobach ads in Kansas:
Why is this a big deal? The GOP campaigned for progressive Democrat Doug Jones in 2018.
And the Dems are doing the same here in a GOP primary in the Jacksonville, FL area. Incredibly, it’s for a county board seat. I’ve gotten more Dem Pac created negative ad mailers against my current GOP county commissioner than I got from Dems against Trump in 2016! Apparently, they have money to burn.
That makes zero sense, Trump didn’t endorse anyone in this race, despite pressure from both Marshall and Kobach supporters to do so.
Dan ran in a very tough district, and narrowly lost!
Super Thursday?
If Kobach won the Repukes would have thrown the election.
Correct. The Chamber of Commerce wing of the GOP prefers progressive Democrats and their policies to MAGA candidates like Kobach. Recall how many GOPe refused to support POTUS in 2016.
I just voted for Kobach, but figured we’d be ok if Marshall won... That was until the uniparty ads came out against Kobach.
I trust no one these days.
No choice now but to back Marshall.
B.A. in Government from Harvard ... PhD in Politics from Oxford ... Yale Law School.
Something about this just rubs me the wrong way ... like he was cultivating himself to spend a lifetime living at the taxpayers’ expense.
Time for Kobach to join the Trump administration.
The good news is that the Republicans will keep the seat, something that would not have happened if Kobach had won. The Dems spent millions to support Kobach.
The bad news is that Marshall will be a McConnell ally, but it was definately the better outcome for Senate control.
The NYT Talking Head analysis on this is weirder than shit:
“A Kobach loss would also be disheartening for Democrats, who poured millions into a super PAC to boost Kobach, whom they believed would be easier to beat in the general election.”
and this:
“A defeat for Kobach would also sting for Peter Thiel, the conservative billionaire, who invested nearly $1 million in a pro-Kobach super PAC this summer.”
Peter Thiel is a gay Silicon valley Billionaire, but he’s a Trumpster. Is this Thiel PAC the same “Democrat PAC” or did Kobach get Multiple Millions in PAC money to win a Primary in Kansas?
Someone who isn’t getting Millions from Silicon Valley would probably be best for Senate. Kobach may be a border Hawk, but Silicon valley is all about more H1B’s.
Roger Marshall slaughters both Kris Kobach & Bob Hamilton and. the vacated Senate seat of retiring, Pat Roberts will be easily held by Roger Marshall.
with 40% of the vote counted, Marshall is beating Kobach by some 26,000 votes and counting. The AP has just announced that Marshall is the winner over, Koback & Hamilton with ease!!!
The “Fake News” Media pundits made 100% butt wipes out of themselves by calling this race too tight to call!!! Folks your task is quite simple...just get out and vote for POTUS, Donald J. Trump to be re-elected by a massive landslide victory on November 3rd, 2020....Do It!!!
Kris is a true patriot. I hope he joins the Trump administration in the second term.
Which means they are fundamentally commies at heart. They dress up as Republicans mostly for aesthetic purposes, they enjoy the jokes we make at commies' expense, they crave our approval, they lust after our women, but at the end of the day they can't even contribute their votes for the cause. Who would count on these traitors when the stuff hits the fan? Useless buffoons. Let's sell them as slaves to the other side. If they stay in our camp they will likely spy against us.
Marshall is bad and a never-Trumper that Mitch McConnell and others spent 3M to beat Kobach!
Count on it!
Good guy, but not a great politician. He blew the Governor's race in 2018, and now Kansas is stuck with a Dem gov. He is too high risk for the Senate.
