Kobach supported by Trump? How does it look for November...
The only thing I could find is what FReeper, Trump20162020, displayed in post #33 in this thread.

It should look pretty good for Kobach or Colyer because the dem candidate rates poorly on abortion and taxes. I read she did support Kobach's voter ID but Kobach should win on that issue because he is the one who originally pushed it.
Greg Orman is running again as an Independent (ran against Pat Roberts with similar strategy in the last senate race). Orman is no Independent as it was revealed in the last race he is a liberal democrat. He is already running the "sick of dems and repubs" ads.
Kobach or Colyer will have to expose Orman as just another liberal democrat and hopefully that will backfire on the dems and help split the dem vote.
Our local medias will probably continue their Kobach bashing so that is not new. It will be their attempt to keep it close, along with Orman trying to fool Republicans and conservatives.

Depends on which side you're on. Kobach wants to repeat the Brownback tax cuts which caused a lot of discontent due to the budget deficits and which cost the conservatives control of the legislature two years ago. If Kobach runs on tax cuts he's going to have to be clear on his spending cuts as well. He can probably sell a clear plan on cuts but he has to have the plan first.

The only reason Orman did so well against Roberts is that the Democrat basically withdrew from the race and it was Roberts vs. Orman, head to head. That's not going to happen this time so I'm not sure just who Orman will be appealing to. Kelly is no raving liberal Democrat. She's got a 14 year track record in the legislature. So what is Orman going to do? Run to the left of her? The populist vote in Kansas isn't that big and not given to protest votes. That could become clear if you see the Welder supporters unite behind Davids against Yoder. Run to the right of her? Why wouldn't people then go with Kobach? It'll be interesting if Orman comes up with something other than "I'm not a Democrat or Republican."
