GOP Senate seat in Kansas is safe.

Kobach, who Trump endorsed in 2018,  defeated in primary.   You're right,  rejecting the most Trumpian choice was the smart move for KS GOP.
Trump did not endorse either candidate since there was no advantage to do so. Kobach  threatened to turn off the GOP base and put Kansas in jeopardy of losing what has been a solid GOP seat in the Senate since the 1930’s.

Kobach fucked up their pet voter fraud project by proving there is virtually no voter fraud.

Trump and the GOP is toast.

 I didn't say Trump endorsed anyone in that race, in 2020.  But the key to this is that Kobach, the most Trumpian candidate in mindset and ethical character, and the one formerly endorsed by Trump in 2018, was, as you said, more likely to turn off the GOP base.

Yay.  We got there.  Red's got a little tiny piece of the reality of Trumpism there!  Woohoo!

And? I've made clear my distrust of any polling (I still believe there are a lot of voters ashamed to admit their support of Trump).  I just don't understand why you prefer Rasmussen, who despite touting their own horn, is is no more accurate, and frequently less so, than any other individual polling, and is, in fact, part of the amalgamation  that makes up fivethirtyeight.

And Kansas stays Red. Trump saw the larger picture this time. Holding on to the Senate.

Friday before election Trump and Clinto were tied (not sure anyone else had near that)

And on Monday, 24 hours to actual vote - Clinton led by 2.

The hearing in Miami about the push to open schools vs. to block the opening of the schools.

FEA vs. State of Florida because of COVID-19

That they are having this hearing remotely answers the question, IMO.

But the State is challenging the venue, among other things.

Sorry but it’s ok now for a presidential campaign to run other candidates in the same race in hopes of siphoning off votes from the real opposition?

Kanye’s own wife says he needs mental help. But let’s run him as a candidate in Wisconsin because those Black people will vote for him?

Incredibly insulting and dirty, from people who show us again and again that they despise Democracy.
