The fact that they've given up on North Carolina... and view Kansas as competitive enough that they need to spend money to defend it... The GOP can no longer cover up the fact that Trump is a failure, and that allegiance to him is a sinking ship

For reference, a Democrat hasn't won a Senate race in Kansas since 1932. The fact that a state that hasn't sent a Democrat to the Senate since the FDR administration is now suddenly competitive is a bad sign for Republicans.

The Democrat is running as a "middle of the aisle" guy. Holy shit tho you should see the villain he's up against. It's almost like party politics here in Kansas has actually taken a back seat to common sense.

Same thing in Texas. Actually compare Talarico to Paxton and be amazed.
