I'm seen a few hateful tweets from some of them. Calling her corrupt and other nasty remarks. Of course this is on twitter, so who knows if they are really BernieBros. Could be Russians or Republicans.

Regardless, Sharice Davids is the nominee and she will get my enthusiastic support.

Cook moved the race to tossup which means there is zero excuse for doing anything less.

It will be in the form of money because I'm pretty sure going me going door to door in Kansas would cost us votes and probably get me shot, but this becomes a race which we can accomplish two important goals

1. WIN (the most important goal); and,

2. Stand with the LGBTQ community which has stood with us.

Fight

Okay that is a little humor

The important point though is this is a place we can win. Last night Davis, when the election results still weren't in, had a great quote along the lines of "We knocked on a lot of doors in Johnson County." Her margin in Johnson County shows what we can do with work.

I am optimistic. It would be an amazing win on so many levels.
