    You keep saying this, but at best it is speculation. It would require more than ten Republicans to join to break the filibuster, and while the R's may know in private that killing Roe puts them at risk of losses in the midterms, the R's prize lockstep obedience. The nail that sticks up gets hammered down. Ask the R's who voted against Trump.

    FoxNews.com has no mention of the Kansas abortion vote on its home page. But there are links to at least 50 other stories.

    The only polls in recent weeks said the Yes klan held a 47-43 lead. When it came time to vote, they lost 41-59. In Kansas. Looks like some Trumpist Pseudo Christians love to talk about the evils of abortion but tell a different story when secretly voting.
    Why should Democrats give ground when true popular sentiment is strong enough on their side that a dishonestly worded ballot initiative in a state that gave us Westboro Baptist Church fails overwhelmingly?

    I suspect they badly misread the woman's vote on this.

    Kansas IS conservative, but Cruz won the 2016 GOP march caucuses by 25 pts over Trump. Think Bob Dole. I don't even think they have a member in the Freedom Caucus of the House or Senate. Their last FCer was primaried in 2016 and lost.

    Caucuses require organization. How organized was Trump?

    What’s helping Kansas is Missouri Dems moving across the border to OP, Lenexa, etc.
