Trump backing a GOP insurgent against a sitting GOP governor? Did he learn nothing in Alabama?


Actually Trump first backed Luther Strange, the incumbent senator Bentley appointed to replace sessions against Roy Moore in the first and second rounds.

He only backed Roy Moore because he won the nomination.

I would think at this point most folks would realize that President Trump is working off of a more advanced and successful Life Equation than the rest of us.


Sure.

And that equation only works for him, not the conventional GOP candidate who does not have the same money and name recognition Trump has.

I keep telling you people that there is only one Donald Trump and can only be one Donald Trump. He's his own political animal.

Different situation from Alabama. Again everyone not familar with Kansas politics keeps seeing "incumbent" if front of Collyer's name and they think he has been governor since 2012. He hasn't. He has been governor since January. Before that he was the lieutenant governor, which means he spent six years cutting ribbons at grand openings of supermarkets, judging watermelons at county fairs, and checking e-mails to see if Brownback had fallen off of a combine. There basically is no incumbent in this race.

I love that they think a KS house seat could turn blue.

November 7 is setting up to be more glorious than the 2016 election at this point...

It looks like no one gets 50%. Does KS not have a run-off?
Did some research and found the following:

Kobach's penchant for provoking outrage could serve him well in a crowded seven-candidate Republican primary Tuesday. Kansas does not hold runoff elections so the winner in the primary will move on to November.
So, in a crowded field, a candidate could get 25% and win the nomination. Odd system.
