(37,573 posts)cheering on Democratic Underground the fact that Democrats will NOT have a candidate in a Senate election.
So even though the "independent" is
1. a member of the 1%

apparently I am supposed to hold my nose and vote for him as the "lesser of two evils".
Are these the same people who would protest against voting for a Democrat for that reason?
On the other hand, Orman IS exactly the kind of guy the KDP likes to recruit as a statewide candidate, and Kansas Democrats almost always run to the right. They have to, considering the electorate they are working with.
I guess I would feel better if Orman, with the same flaws, was running as a D, because that would sort of open the door for a future D candidate without those two flaws - in theory.
