I wasn’t expecting that. I thought the margin was just way too damned narrow for anyone to concede.

Fantastic news.
I read somewhere that it’s been 60 years since a challenger has
defeated a sitting Governor.

Colyer is putting the interests of Kansas and the country ahead of himself. There is no time to waste in getting ready for November. We DO NOT want a commie Dem governor in Topeka.

YESSS!

Now, if Colyer's folks really do get behind Kris, we'll have a fabulous race, clearly outlined by a conservative and a liberal and I'm just not thinking that the good folks of Kansas will reject clearly defined liberalism, thinly disguised socialism, not far removed from Communism!!!

The silent problem here: many who voted for Colyer in the Primary, will not support Kris, either staying home or as they sometimes do, vote for the real liberal, the dimocRAT. as they only voted for Colyer because they hated Kris and all he stands for!

Kris is what a lot of us would like to see in Trump: all the same pro-American, pro-law abiding, pro-life, pro-family values, pro-border, no nonsense trade deals, highly intelligent, real gentleman with none of the baggage, yet not deemed to be a "goody two shoes."

Kris is a true-blue Oxford scholar who did it the hard way, he studied!!! He rides Harleys, hunts game, cleans it himself and cooks it to serve friends.

He puts on target shooting contest "fun shoots" then serves the gang BBQ!!

He loves his wife and daughters, is truly kind to all who encounter him and has never said an unkind thing about any opponent.

I know all of this as I have volunteered and worked with and for Kris behind the scenes for over 10 years as he's climbed the ladder working his way, serving Kansas Republicans and each GOP Presidential candidate!

Kris has lost races before but I've never heard or watched him become bitter or backstabbing, as I've seen many others that I have truly liked personally.

Kris is the kind of son ever mother wishes she had, every dad would love for a son, every wife would love and admire and every neighbor wished lived next door!

This was the Republican primary. Colyer is the sitting governor, also a pretty conservative guy from what I hear. Wish we could spread the good guys around to other places.

YES!!!

That was close. Probably because of the local media hate on Kobach and there was a good crop of conservative candidates to choose from.

I’m just glad Kris Kobach came out on top.

Colyer needed Johnson County to deliver big for him. They didn't. He doesn't have a chance in the remaining counties and he knew it.
