Whomever does his strategy, thinks that appealing to non-Trump alienated Rs that he's a centrist who isn't caught up distracted by the cultural war politics of the left further their serious consideration of him as president. Except, no one is taking him seriously.

Does Newsom actually understand what he's done to himself, here, though?

Oh, absolutely. They won't go to any of the state line counties because it's unsafe. "Unsafe" is a very coded way of saying, less white people around. No worries, Steve, the good people of Wyandotte Co don't want to meet you either.

I've never met more people in my life than in KS who were actively proud of the fact that they don't and in some cases have never left KS. It's not the badge of honor they seem to think it is because not having to consider the alternative is rewarded. 3/3

And Rs have treated farmers like welfare state freeloaders for decades now. So, you have to get them thinking that people don't understand what it's like in KS for people in KS while telling them that everything else out of KS is dark, scary, and weird. I'm serious about this. 2/3

So on this, I'll say - gerrymandering isn't just lines on a map. It is, also, a form of voter manipulation. It's often dressed up as tradition, that downballot R voting is how it's done around here. It lacks so much logical reasoning as most of KS is agricultural. 1/3

There's a handful of blue counties in KS. Everything else is red all the way down and gerrymandered to hell to keep it that way. That's really the explanation.

It's still KS and I say this as a former resident. Most of these people will die before they switch party affiliation. It runs that deep.

Voicemail box has been full for days. I know they're not in session but they're really selling the 'not giving a shit' vibe.
