Too bad for them they didn’t show up to vote him out of office in 2014. Now they are paying the price.

I’d like to know how many of these “very dissatisfied” persons voted for Brownback knowing he was going to implement the crackpot GOP platform and are “very dissatisfied” with the results they voted for. They should blame themselves for drinking the kook-aid.

I was going to completely express the exact same thoughts about Kansas voters.

I somehow feel however that the Fox News/Zombie Reagan/ Libertarian Utopia economic theories are so engrained in the modern Conservative mindset that only old age related death of the older generations will weed it out of the population. We have a solid 25-35% of the country that has been bamboozled and lied to for 40 years and bought in hook, line, and sinker. Kansas voters now hate the man. I think they somehow have a cognitive inability to link this abject economic failure to the actual theories behind it.

In 2014, Kansas voters voted for this, so they got exactly what they wanted.

They knew what he was and voted for him anyhow in 2014. I’m sorry but I have little sympathy for people who vote Republican and then are shocked that a Republican governs like a Republican.

There’s a real failure to connect cause with effect in a large bloc of the voters. It’s that whole “magical thinking” thing that goes part’n’parcel with religious belief. Mutter the right spells, kneel at the correct cue, and dollars and prosperity shower from the Magical Sky Fairy.

They vote accordingly, and are quite disgruntled when they don’t get the results they were promised. Thus, the rage that is propelling Trump’s campaign….
