"...in August, conservative Republicans ousted House and Senate moderates in the GOP primaries, paving the way to easy November wins."

And here I thought the ´conservatives´ were the reason Republicans were losing elections.

I may move to Kansas if this is all true. Missouri is pretty wishy-washy and, we have St. Louis, Kansas City and Columbia to deal with at every election - difficult to fight that.

Let us watch what happens in Kansas. The state should prosper exponentially.

Unfortunately Colorado has gone blue.
Dem governor (John Hickenlooper aka Chickenpooper), Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins bring down the state. The rest of the state are conservatives.

Many businesses on the Missouri side of KC have already moved to the Kansas side throughout the past few decades and more are planning to do the same. The resulting friction could have been avoided with better accountability of public policies which have proved to have stymied growth on the KC Mo. side. Yet the dems on the Mo side continue to enact policies which raise taxes, spend frivilously & permit irresponsibly, which are the original reasons KC Mo. has been steadily falling far behind since the 1970´s.

...Conclusion: Competition usually produces excellence but zealous dem pols, from the local level to the ensconced beltway statist failed policy makers, hate competition. The dem pols simply refuse to encourage local entpreneurs, even when their expensive but failed grandiose statist policies are obviously responsible for the current economic, crime, educational, infrastructure, & etc., problems of the city.

With their current responsible, accountable and ethical leadership, which is faithful to their oaths of office, Kansas and Texas are role model states leading the way by demonstrating how to bring out the very best Americans have to offer! States which stymie entrepreneurship are falling behind.
