(34,112 posts)I think that is not possible. Republicans here do not learn. I can't imagine anyone ever even thought this would have a different outcome here. I am hoping I have to eat those words.

(5,754 posts)except for Johnson County and Sedgwick County. Without immigrants to work in the processing plants, they will close and move somewhere else, probably Eastern Colorado. The white folks left are getting older on average every year, and I think Kobach thinks that's just fine. Maybe they will have 3 congressional districts after the 2020 census. I lived there for 30 years. Can you imagine that Kathleen Sebelius was the governor?

(34,112 posts)I know her slightly through our kids on a personal level and worked on her campaign in a sideways kind of manner so yes, I can imagine. I have been here for almost 65 years. I do not plan on moving and actually, at this point I don't even know anyone complaining about it as much as we make our small gains. Our heads are down and we are working to make it better. There have been many improvements, they have been slow and hard won and barely noticed outside of the people here. If you ever knew anything about Kansas history you would know where we started, it has not always been this way.
I think you are a bit out of date but then whatever. We are working hard and we are making gains. This kind of BS talk is not helping. The outback? I hope you are not planning of eating much in the future but then climate change will likely take us out first. Yes Kobach will likely win the primary. It will be hard to beat him in the general because there are too few of us and we are desperately underfunded.
If you lived here for 30 years you would know that our other biggest problem is that this is where the Koch crap is and where it started. 30 years worth of their crap we have been dealing with where other states have been slowly becoming just like us after only several years. They learned here, they have been messing with us for a long time. On top of that we are the picture of what happens when a state is written off. Bernie came, 3 times I believe. He has motivated a lot of people here lately. He did not just stop in KCMO and call it good.
Hopefully Laura will win our primary. Polling shows that she has a chance against Kobach where the others do not. The endorsements are pouring in for her as well and that does not hurt in an outback sort of state. Really, outback?

(33,597 posts)look for another round of decimating tax cuts to impoverish the State and some "Whites Only" voting laws.
Hard to believe someone worse than Brownbach could be Governor.
