Please let that buffoon be the nominee. It can't be difficult to beat him in a state that swung hard left in 2018 because of fiscal mismanagement of the previous governor, Brownback. Cut all taxes he said. I'm sure the police and firefighters will take chickens and knitted sweaters for compensation.
