This is one of those days when something happens and you don’t know exactly what it means, but you know it means something.
I woke up this morning to find that Nancy Kassebaum, one of the few living legends left in Kansas Republican politics, had endorsed the Democratic presidential ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Joining her in the endorsement statement, which was provided to Fox News Digital, were Sandy Praeger, the Kansas insurance commissioner from 2003 to 2015, and former federal appeals Judge Deanell Reece Tacha, a Kansas native appointed to the 10th Circuit Court by Ronald Reagan in 1985, who served until her retirement as chief judge in 2011.
In their joint statement to Fox, they said Americans are presented with “a stark choice.”
“No candidate is perfect, and we do not pretend that we subscribe to all the policy positions taken either by the national parties or any individual candidates,” they wrote. “However, we fervently believe that we must do our part to try to build a brighter future, which is why we will be voting for Kamala Harris and [Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz] in this election. We believe they most closely align with the aspirations of Kansans and reflect our rich history of working together ‘to the stars through difficulty.’”

Worthless when she was in the US Senate. Worthless now.

If she’s a living ‘legend’ then that makes all the difference, right? I honestly don’t remember her at all. Que-Mala is pulling out all the stops. Just heard a radio commercial here from her against so full of outright lies there are really no words to describe it.

She was never any good. More of the sisterhood of the traveling pants kinda thing. They always support the sisterhood before all else.

This is the Bob Dole legacy…The Big Tent Republican Party. In other words come be part of the party who has a big mailing list and no core beliefs.

Worse than worthless, she is now malicious — and unheeding of the virtues of silence and party loyalty.

Just another reminder of how deep the false claims of many Republicans to be conservatives actually go...The party has rot to its core; and how that rot squeals, as Trump applies the disinfectant.

I doubt it’ll flip Kansas and the other half are thinking she’s still alive

I looked it up; she’s been out of the Senate since 1997. Why would we care what she thinks? And I noticed none of these RINOS ever tell us why they’re supporting Kamala, just that they hate Trump.

Trump took their cash cow away.
All the perks, none of the responsibility.

“...they said Americans are presented with “a stark choice.”..”
And predictably, these three airheads make wrong choice.

Yeah, Bobby Dole, born and raised in Russell, KS. There’s a sign along I-70 proudly stating that. Spent his whole life in DC and never came back to Kansas after he retired from the Senate and lost to Billy Clinton. Him and Nancy, as Hillary would say: “a basket of deplorables”.
