Redstate Kansas home of the Koch Bros is with Her: Poll shows Clinton leading in Kansas

Kansans are overwhelmingly dissatisfied with their state government and their choice of presidential candidates, according to a new poll released Friday.

But when given a choice between the two parties' presumptive nominees, a plurality (43-36 percent) said they prefer Democrat Hillary Clinton to Republican Donald Trump, while 21 percent are currently undecided.

If those trends hold through November, it would mark a historic shift in Kansas politics, where no Democratic presidential candidate has won Kansas since 1964, when Lyndon Johnson carried it over Barry Goldwater, 54-45 percent.

Especially states like Kansas and Arizona, even if they don't stay home stomping grounds for Team Donkey in 2018.

But then, many people in Kansas are sick to death about the act that their governor and legislature have been putting on. They have bankrupted the state and education with it.

God guns and gays will bring KS back into deep red by November, even if it comes with an unpleasant orange tinge. OK that means Kansas will turn Cinnabar I guess.
