Some Republicans preferred that Trump stay out of the race over concerns that the president's endorsement could push Kobach through to victory, which they believe would give Democrats a chance to win a key race in a red state.

In the general? The Democratic ads just write themselves. Our side needs to talk over and over about how Kobach steals votes. Make sure he is under a microscope as he counts his own votes.

At this point, being a Republican is proof positive that a person is incapable of learning anything.
