Just kidding. We love you too. Remember, it's better to embrace Trump than to fight him MAGA

The GOP is going to win this tonight by probably less than 5,000 votes in Ruby Red Kansas. Think about that for a minute.

The "narrow" win is probably more of a statement on the unpopularity of Brownback than on anything having to do with Trump.

The disdain that the majority of people in the midwest have for progressive politics/politicians will be something that people from California, New York and Massachusetts will never understand.

The fact that a traditionally ultra-conservative state like Kansas was even close should be disconcerting for Republicans. Moderate states are unlikely to keep Republicans in power in 2018.

I live about 7 to 8 miles from southeast Kansas and about 10 miles from northeast Oklahoma. Many people in this area don't vote Democrat do to guns and church.

If a conservative Democrat runs in the mid term and the GOP is still unpopular they will make some of these races much closer. Dems probably don't win, but it will be much closer than it was in 2016.

This will probably be the same in North Dakota. Native Americans will vote against Trump and other Republicans. Demographics may say it is around 6% NA, but many of the people register as white are also NA. This will hurt the GOP in the Senate race 2018.

This will not just be in North Dakota, but other places that have a high % of NA's. Southeast Kansas and Northeast Oklahoma are two of these places. NA don't usually vote, but do to the pipeline controversy this will change.
