Ernst has 25 percent support among likely primary goers, followed closely by wealthy businessman Mark Jacobs with 23 percent. The other three candidates received less than 10 percent, while 40 percent are still undecided for the June 3 primary.

Milton Wolf, best known as Obama's cousin (or second cousin twice removed), has been on the Kansas Senate campaign trail for only three months and is already gaining support from conservative groups within the state for his August 5 primary against Senator Pat Roberts (R - KS).

Mr. President, I rise today to speak of pragmatism and irresponsibility.
“Four years ago, when this body was debating the law known as Obamacare, reasonable minds, perhaps, could have differed as to whether that law might work. The essence of pragmatism is looking to the facts as they are today and responding. Today, reasonable minds can no longer differ in terms of whether Obamacare is working. Today, it is abundantly clear that millions of Americans are being harmed right now by this failed law. Today, it is the essence of pragmatism to acknowledge the facts of the failure of Obamacare and for congress to step up and act to stop the harms that have been caused by this body. 

“Irresponsibility, on the other hand, is seeing undeniable harms, undeniable facts, and saying nonetheless we will do nothing. So, Mr. President, what are the facts from the American people? The facts that we now know today is that already at least 4.7 million Americans have received cancellation notices, have had their health care plans canceled because of Obamacare. And, Mr. President, this was, of course, after president Obama repeatedly looked at the TV cameras to the American people and made the promise if you like your health care plan, you can keep it, period. We now know that promise was false, and for over 4.7 million people, painfully false in their lives.
Pragmatism is responding to the facts and doing something about it. Unfortunately, what has the Senate Majority Leader and Senate Democrats done to protect Americans from Obamacare? Nothing. These facts are known, and Congress, Senate Democrats, have done nothing. 4.7 million Americans lost their health insurance because of this body. The omnibus bill that this body is galloping to approve does nothing for the 4.7 million Americans who have had their health insurance canceled.

But it's not just health insurance plans. What else are the facts that we know now? As Time magazine observed, keeping your doctor under Obamacare is no easy feat. Now, Mr. President, President Obama looked at the American people and said if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, period. We now know that that promise, too, was deliberately, repeatedly false. Millions of Americans facing the very real prospect of losing their doctor.
A good friend of mine, a cancer survivor, is facing the very real prospect because Texas oncology has suggested it does not intend to participate, of losing his cancer doctor, not being able to go to the doctor that saved his life. This is the father of two young children facing the terrifying reality of losing his doctor because of the conduct of the Congress, and, Mr. President, in response to millions of Americans, losing their doctors. What have the Senate Majority Leader and Senate Democrats done? Nothing.
The essence of irresponsibility is seeing a harm, seeing the facts and refusing to act. What else do we know? We know that Obamacare is killing jobs all across the country. Indeed, Obamacare is the biggest job killer in this nation.

The U.S. Chamber of commerce has said of small businesses impacted by the employer mandate, one half of small businesses say they will either cut hours to reduce full-time employees or replace full-time employees with part-time workers to avoid the mandate.
24% say they reduced hiring to under 50 workers. The President has been talking about income inequality. This exacerbates income inequality, this is why the rich have gotten richer under president Obama but the people who are struggling, young people, Hispanics, single moms, people like my dad who 56 years ago washed dishes for 50 cents an hour as a teenaged immigrant. Those are the people laid off because of Obamacare. .....

So we thought what better way to illustrate the point than having hundreds of thousands of Americans sign up for a class action suit. Six months ago, we began this call. We now have several hundred thousand people who want to be part of this suit to say to the government and to the NSA ‘you can’t have our records without our permission or without a warrant specific to an individual.’ So, it’s kind of an unusual class action suit in that we think everybody in America who has a cell phone would be eligible for this class action suit. If any of your viewers have a cell a phone, they just have to go to my Facebook tonight and they can sign up to be part of the lawsuit. We want to overwhelm the government and we want to show publicly that hundreds of thousands of people object to the government looking at our records without our permission.

I don’t think we can pick and choose the law. We’ve got all of these people like James Clapper and others beating the table and saying that "we want to put Edward Snowden in jail for life," and yet they don’t want the law applied to themselves? You know, the law has to be applied equally and that is one of the real tenets of American jurisprudence—you apply the law equally. I frankly think it would be somewhat enlightening for James Clapper and Edward Snowden to share a prison cell and then maybe we’d all learn a little bit from that.

• It extends tax deductions for health insurance to those who buy as individuals, thus eliminating the perverse incentive that favored employer-purchased insurance.
• It gives patients true portability by making them the owners of their insurance – not their employers.
• It gives doctors the real power to make treatment decisions, not insurance companies or the government.
• It reforms medical liability laws and thus saves money by reducing the practice of defensive medicine.

The "Nuclear Option" fight is really about: Democrats packing the DC Circuit Court so President Obama can get what he wants. Instead of a free and independent judiciary, Obama gets his way.
