Some 54% of respondents say it is politically motivated while just 41% think it is justified. That’s what democracy inevitably leads to–people voting in favor of things that benefit them without requiring any sacrifice on their part, voting in favor of virtue-signaling that similarly doesn’t require them to do anything, and voting against anything that requires them to incur real costs to themselves. – Next door, Missouri had three initiatives up for vote–one on raising the state’s minimum wage, one on “ethics reform”, and one on increasing the gasoline tax. When Trump campaigned for Kobach last month, he joked about bringing Kris into the White House if he lost the governor’s race.
If Trump appoints anyone other than Kobach as successor, it gets a serious downgrade. If Trump appoints Kobach as Jeff Sessions’ successor, the AG gets a major upgrade. I’m not sure what’s next for Kobach, but his story is not finished. Conservative nationalist Kobach and Chamber of Commerce puppet Yoder both lost the county on Tuesday.
It’s becoming the kind of place Paul Ryan dreams about, and as a consequence it is becoming a place that Republicans increasingly cannot win. So have its median incomes and housing prices, the latter more rapidly than the former. It’s a county whose population has grown much faster than the rest of the state’s over the last couple of decades. Johnson has a lot of transplants from other states and also, in no small part thanks to Kevin Yoder, lots of H-1B serfs working for tech companies such as Sprint, Garmin, and Cerner who have a large presence here. Had Kobach been able to mirror Brownback’s 2014 performance in the county, he’d have won the election. In Johnson, however, Kobach underperformed Brownback by a staggering 18 points. Kobach underperformed Brownback by 3 points in every county combined except for Johnson. In Brownback’s 4-point 2014 reelection win, the former governor took Johnson, 49%-48%. Outside of Johnson the two virtually tied, 50.2%-49.8%.
Over one-quarter of the state’s votes came from the county, and Kelly won it by a devastating 55%-38%. Then there is Johnson County, home to the Kansas City metro area’s most affluent towns and suburbs. Instead, he opted to try and win on the state’s nearly 2-to-1 Republican party affiliation advantage by not saying a bad word about anyone with an (R) next to his name. Kobach could have easily refuted this by pointing out that he had defeated Brownback’s lieutenant governor and then replacement, Jeff Colyer, in the primaries and that Kobach and Brownback could hardly be any further apart on immigration than they are. How did his defeat happen? Laura Kelly effectively portrayed Kobach as the second coming of the deeply unpopular Sam Brownback. He’s regularly been stabbed in the back by corporate interests and in the front by criminal organizations like the ACLU, but he refuses to be deterred.
