15. threatened him and his family?

Seriously, or just economically and politically?

Politics is stranger and stranger. The other day I was at a meeting of Democrats for our county. We were trying to find candidates to run for the local offices - state senator, state rep, various county positions (like the treasurer position I ran for myself in 2012 (and lost badly, but in my defense, our sheriff candidate ran a great race - and finished with the same percentage as I did. I thought those races would be less political. I mean, none of the traditional guns or abortion or even taxes are in play, but all three of us D candidates finished with about the same percentage of the votes.)

Truly though, I was kinda shocked and saddened by that meeting. They kept mentioning moderate Republicans they wanted to get to run as Democrats. I mean I always joked that it seemed like Kansas politics was a conservative Republican running against a Democrat who was really a moderate Republican, but to actually see that in action. They also basically seemed to be looking for - somebody with deep pockets.

You seem to have a primary race though, so you are not stuck with the ex-Republican unless he wins the primary.
