Well yeah, he's a Democrat in Kansas...

  R's fucked things up so bad in the past it destroyed the chokehold on the state.

  Wow, good to know. I'm from Oklahoma originally so I just assumed lol.
- It was a primary. Republicans can't vote in a Democratic primary in Kansas.
  
  I think maybe they are trying to say that even the Democrats aren’t super left in Kansas. However because of the political loss, I would say that’s not necessarily true – at least the voters
What's with steepling the fingers like that? It seems to be indicative.
