Last night’s Kansas GOP Senate debate saw “sparks fly”as the underwhelming field of Republican candidates continued to attack each other in the “divisive and crowded” primary that has plagued Washington Republicans and left them “spooked this year.” Following a bombshell report that revealed how Congressman Roger Marshall used his political and business relationships to erase a reckless driving conviction and replace it with a minor traffic violation, Marshall faced an onslaught of brutal scrutiny from the other candidates for that scandal.
The nasty debate underscored how much of a “headache” Kansas has become for Republicans. The “messy” primary has forced the NRSC to sweat yet another state their party has previously taken for granted, and whichever damaged candidate limps out of Republicans’ bruising primary will face a “strong candidate” in Dr. Barbara Bollier. A physician and state senator, Bollier has posted the biggest fundraising numbers of the entire field and is in a dead heat with the GOP candidates according to a recent poll.
