Shawnee County Prosecutor Chad Taylor, meanwhile, the Democratic Party nominee for US Senate, claims now that he does not want to be in the election against Sen. Pat Roberts, as he has a cop killer to convict in Topeka. (Actually, Taylor was polling so badly behind independent Greg Orman, that the national Democratic Party pressed him to back out of the race, much as happened in the governor's race in Alaska.) But Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican, is confident Kansans are stupid and will vote for Mr. Taylor, if he can just keep Taylor's name on the printed ballots.
Independent candidate Orman of Olathe, Ks., debated Sen. Roberts in Hutchinson and argued what is plain to many, that both big political parties in Washington, DC have stopped governing for the people.
Orman was yelled down by Republican stalwarts and had to start his opening statement three times before Sen. Pat Roberts shushed the loud, heckling True Believers.
Orman continued listing the failures of Washington, DC during the last decades, and pointed out several times that the two major political parties only agreed when making disastrous decisions (See "Senate Votes to Arm, Train Syrian Rebels to Fight ISIS").
Sen. Roberts, not understanding this, repeatedly called out the name of Harry Reid, playing the same tired name blame-game that Brownback had used against Davis in the previous debate.
Sen. Roberts, 78 years old, after over forty years in DC, seemed distant and answered questions with stock phrases like; "secure the border" or "take that hill" or "no amnesty." Is this how he wants to fix the "humanitarian crisis" of defenseless migrating kids stumbling out of the desert to escape murdering dictatorships? He calls out "Harry Reid" again.
Orman says he's been to Dodge City more times than Sen. Roberts.
Sen. Roberts claims a reclining chair and some renters at an address in Dodge.
