She keeps saying " republican senators who are independent thinkers" who are they ?!
And When was the last time a republican senator voted against Trump ?!!

[salmosqueda]

Voting AGAINST Kobach in 2018 was my proudest moment as a Kansan

“Kansas hasn’t had a Republican governor in a longtime.” -Rachel...except for the last one...

[akikotaku]

Hang on... Rachel said Kris Kobach is economically populist. I am literally on the OnTheIssues website, as well as Kobach's own site, saying things like deregulation, cut budget, & "relax rules on logging". Sounding very corporatist.

[EquanimityUnruffled]

"Kansas hasn't had a Republican governor in a long time..."

I never realized the absurd lengths that conservatives will go to in order to forget about Sam Brownback. Next I suppose they'll try erasing his Wikipedia page.

[jdpartyhat]

"Independent thinkers in the Senate" LOLOLOLOL

[ericfranklin]

Rachel: Well Kansas hasn’t had a Republican Governor in a long
Krystal: Well they had Sam Brownback, someone who was far

WOW what an intelligent well informed right wing host, definitely not a partisan actor who reads nothing outside things that support her world view. (Brownback was Governor until 2018)

[TacticalEsp]

"Kansas hasn't had a Republican Governor in a while..." I grew up there. She's wrong about about that. Shout out to Krystal for the correction

[tylerhackner]

I hope Kobach wins so he can lose again

[vulrare]

Aww...she called Trump a populist.... isn't that cute.lol.Trump is a hustler playing a populist on tv.What a joke...

[davestevener]

McConnell "collects" these senators - priceless! Excellent argument why they may lose the majority.

[agcaoiliproductions]

Koback will literally NEVER go away. The GOP has their Hillary.

[SerferTJ]

Hope Kobach wins the primary and loses the General 😊

[edgarrice]

Just want to say that I've been enjoying Rachel's appearances on the show. Of course Saager will rejoin us next week, but let's try to get Rachel more camera time, she's pretty impressive.

[dianestewart]

Kansas isn't all conservative! There are differences between rural and suburban voters. We now have a Democratic Governor, Laura Kelly, who beat Kobach in 2018. My Congressional Representative is Sharice Davids, a Native American lesbian. I hope she will be reelected because she's been breath of fresh air, and has done a fabulous job. She's reached out to many disenfranchised groups that were ignored for years.

The courts don't fix the issues that everyday American's deal with.

[tekservices]

What happened to the art of the deal? Isn’t this moment Trumps specialty? Haha

[leeemo]

"Give your voters some reason to know you're alive."
Joe Biden.. has yet to enter the chat.

[justinlumpkin]

I like Rachel, but I think she needs to distinguish between Trump's rhetoric and his reality because it's not accurate to describe both as "economic populist"

[Loganl]

"Economic populism of Donald Trump"? Has this lady completely dissociated from reality?
