We have one of the most ridiculous leaders since Sam Brownback wanting to run Kansas or as I should say ruining Kansas to the ground. As a substitute teacher who survived the last 8 years of Brownback, I can attest that those years were miserable. It is crazy to want to return to those years and yet that is what Kris Kobach wants to do. It is almost a suicide plan. But Kobach is serious about it and so is Trump and many Kansas Republicans. For those of us who want some kind of normality, we need to get out and vote for Laura Kelly. She plans to run the state in a somewhat normal manor.
There are several US House races this year. In District 1 Democrat Alan LaPolice is challenging Republican Roger Marshall. In District 2, Democrat Paul Davis is challenging Republican Steve Watkins. In District 3, Democrat Sharice Davids is challenging Republican Kevin Yoder. As stated in the above article there are good reasons to get out and vote for the Democrats in these races. Also the polls look good for the Democrats.
Here in District 4 I have been following the race between slacker Republican Ron Estes and Democrat James Thompson, who was endorsed by Bernie Sanders.
So let’s not let the state down. Let’s get out and vote Democrat. Unlike a lot of commentators, I am not in the spirit of “everyone vote, no matter who they vote for.” We need to vote for Democrats and save our nation for the “wrecking crew.” If you are a Republican I have no problem with you staying at home tomorrow. It matters who you vote for.
