………………..
This is going to piss off the RINOs like it is nobody’s business! They begged our President to remain neutral on the Governor’s Race. Our President said thanks but no thanks and went ahead and endorsed Kris.
I am so happy for Kris Kobach, our President and the people of Kansas!
[Trump twitter endorsement] “Kris Kobach, a strong and early supporter of mine, is running for Governor of the Great State of Kansas. He is a fantastic guy who loves his State and our Country – he will be a GREAT Governor and has my full and total Endorsement! Strong on Crime, Border and Military. VOTE TUESDAY!— Donald J.
