We've now got 12 Kansas counties--almost all rural GOP--where the vote appears to be completely wrapped up, and 'yes' is running is a net-14 pts (using margin to avoid confusion) behind our benchmarks for a tied election in Kansas, based on abortion referendums elsewhere.

Mehmet Oz = snake oil salesman. And that's being generous.

Alot of recalibrating going on right now with GOP operatives.

Wonder how many insisting the economy was going to matter more than abortion are rethinking that right now.

Thank God Fetterman is in your party. He looks like he is from a bike gang because if he was a Republican you all have a field day with this bald headed nut that looks he belongs in a white militia in Wyoming.


By the way, he is for big time gun control except for him. He can point loaded shot guns at unarmed black joggers. Making Philly safe. Looking at his face is scary.

Quack is a specific noun that describes Dr Oz to a tee.

Idk if id go that far.


Kansas is bluer than its presidential performance, both sides regularly point this out, but it regularly gets lost in political debates.

id argue this is probably a good thing for Laura Kelly, but especially Sharice Davids. Her district is Biden +5 and people expect it to flip in an R+ 4/5 year. But those kind of things arent uniform.

It isn't about serving. Each person you mentioned, plus Trump. plus Bush, and yourself need to defend the Constitution and quit supporting the war mongers who violate it.

I'd never support anyone who throws our sons and daughters under the bus in undeclared, un Constitutional wars.

The KS legislature gerrymandered Sharice's district to the Nth degree since she won - they want the seat back real bad , but it still may be competitive, because she has been pretty centrist.



But yeah, bluer than people think - we can add abortion rights to public school funding as two, traditionally blue issues, that the deep-red KS legislature has gotten its hand slapped for trying to take away from people.

Voters vote for personalities, not the best candidate for the job, or they don't vote at all. You'd be surprised at how many people shout their opinions off the rooftops yet never get out and vote.

CA voters chose Newsom and look what he did for CA....high prices, homeless everywhere, etc., the list goes on and on. CA has been destroyed by him and his policies yet people keep voting him in. Why?

Voters in NY will never vote for anyone unless they are Dems and look what the Dems are doing to NY. Same thing....homeless everywhere, high prices, etc. that list goes on and on as well. Hochul is no different than Cuomo yet they keep voting for Dems. Why?

We know why people voted for Biden....they didn't like Trump's big mouth, etc. yet the country was stable, prices were low, border was under control, etc.

I'm astounded that people don't see that unless, like I said, they aren't voting at all.

What’s ironic is that Manchin and Sinema are better Republicans than quite a few RINOs.

But regardless what happens, it’s every man and woman for himself in 2022 America. Get whatever financial compensation you can get out of this clown show and then draw a line in the sand and protect whatever you have as best as you can.
So true about Manchin and Sinema.

This is fact. I will never forget hearing people say that they voted for Clown Shoe Obama because he 'spoke nice', or....this was a co-worker's SO, 'he wore pleated pants'. I really wish I was making that up. I even asked her, 'You voted for him because he wore pleated pants? Really?!' She couldn't see what was ridiculous about that.
