KS-SEN: Kobach has lead in Kansas Senate race unless Pompeo enters

[RandySF]

An internal GOP poll from the party's Senate campaign arm shows former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach with a commanding lead over the Republican primary field unless Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were to enter the fray.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the poll, conducted for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, found Kobach with the support of 43 percent of likely Kansas primary voters if Pompeo is not in the mix.

However, with Pompeo hypothetically on the GOP primary ballot, the secretary of State garnered 54 percent of GOP support compared to Kobach’s 17 percent.

Pompeo has repeatedly shot down rumors that he would leave his post as President Trump's secretary of State to enter the Senate race, but Trump last month touted Pompeo, saying he would "win in a landslide" if he ran for the seat.

1. Either way, Kansas gets a bent tool for a Reputin nominee.

Hopefully a losing proposition.

At least 2 Dems are running.

Looks like 1 of the Dems - Barbara Bollier is classified as an "Ex-Republican" -- wonder what that means

10. Not if you understand

Republicans, and Kansas. That behavior is an asset.

11. In a sane country, yes. In many parts of the US, though, Kobach and Pompeo are top tier candidates.

In Arizona's Republican Primary for a US Senate seat last year, the 3 candidates were Martha McSally, Kelli Ward (now Chair of the state's GOP) and Joe Arpaio. McSally didn't get much more than 50% of the vote.

Corey Stewart was the GOP's nominee for a US Senate seat in Virginia and he got 41% of the vote against Tim Kaine.

And on and on.

The Republican Party should ditch the elephant and replace it with a giant pile of bat shit.
