Pat Roberts will be 84 in 2020, so it stands to reason that he probably retires. It also stands to reason that it absolutely sucks to lose by 110 votes, as Jeff Colyer just did. So, does Roberts retire, and if he does, does Jeff Colyer try and make a comeback by running for his seat? Alternatively, could Roberts run but Colyer try to primary him?

And if not Colyer, then who?

Who might run? Kobach for Republicans? Svaty or Sebelius for Democrats?

Svaty will almost certainly be the nominee for the Dems, and Colyer will be for the GOP making this the third vulnerable seat outside of CO and NC to be picked up by the Dems. Sebelius is done with politics.

If Kobach loses this year, I would not rule out a run from him - putting the seat in play and probably ensuring the reelection of Davids and Davis, especially if Trump remains as unpopular as he currently is. Doubt he's toxic enough to put the state in play at the Presidential level, but we'll have to watch the trends and see what impact he has on the state's politics this year.

I don't agree. Former US Attorney Barry Grissom is going to run and everybody in Kansas knows it.

America's Tylenol will retire. I suspect that Colyer won't run to replace him, though.

Sebelius is unpopular in Kansas.

This is probably the sixth most vulnerable seat for Republicans, after CO, MT, NC, GA and AK in that order.

No, due to the Dems don't have a bench in MT other than Bullock and Tester, GA is a run-off situation and no one can beat Perdue unless Jason Carter jumps in and AK we don't know if Berkowitcz will run. So, I say its the third after CO and NC
