Trump just called a black woman a dog and about 80% of the GOP don’t think he’s racist. The whole party needs to be defeated in November. Vote today in primaries if you have them. Vote in November like our country depends on it. It does.

Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer has conceded in the GOP primary to Secretary of State Kris Kobach. If Kobach runs KS he’ll do irreversible harm. It’s essential that we help elect Democrat Laura Kelly. Kathleen Sebelius was Governor in 2009. It’s a red state that will elect Democrats.
