...candidates have folks from out of state campaign with them all of the time.
I've seen senators, congressmen and women, former presidential candidates, etc. This is a red herring.
They drew some 3000 Kansans to a midterm rally. Go on and criticize that if you want.
Another thing, AOC is no more 'pushing back' Davids' candidacy than the other Dems in the race. Trying to make like this is some affront, and not standard primary politics is wrong and transparently partisan.
Funny how there's no concern at all about posting a demeaning thread about a Democratic NOMINEE who helped bring out 3000 Kansans to a Democratic rally. Just this same navel-gazing nonsense. Wake up.
