Still waiting for you to show where I supported the behaviors in Kansas. I know it's coming any time now. Wait for it....
I love the ones about how I support racism. Can you bring those up again? They're always good for a laugh!
If Canadian politics is leading indicator for the US, the republicans are in trouble

The Republicans are already in trouble. Just ask Trump.
Or Cruz, who might say the republicans already resemble the new Canadian leadership:

Elections matter most when they matter the least
http://news.nationalpost.com/full-c...ctions-matter-most-when-they-matter-the-least
Whew! Aren’t you glad that prolonged, exhausting, dispiriting election’s over? Well, pardon me, but no, you’re not. Stop kidding yourself. We have all complained about the “long” Canadian election the way we complain about the weather, as a form of friendly social bonding. We know perfectly well that next door the Americans are in full-tilt election mode more than a year from their election day, and they can’t get enough of the Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders jokes. But we pretend to feel put-upon because our campaign period lasted eleven weeks; we pretend that we are averse to all the partisan carping and hysteria and verbal thuggery.
Journalists know from their web-hit data that this isn’t so. Elections are harvest time for newspapers and magazines, and not just because we get to tap that sweet political donation keg. Overall readership rises during election campaigns, and any opinion piece that is not about electoral politics is prone to die on the vine during a writ period. It is certainly the best time to earn cheap accolades by writing something particularly clever about the foibles of one party or the other. Hit the right target and the same people who gripe about election nastiness will be covering you in compliments for your bravado and your debilitating zingers. “I’m sure tired of this election, but oh God I loved the way you ANNIHILATED Biff Emptysuit and his Malfeasance Party cronies.”
Let’s face it: all the great breakthroughs that have made our lives better over the past two decades would have happened regardless of who held power in Ottawa
As a civilization, we have largely abandoned churches, recoiled from traditional labour unions, psychically detached from our employers and anathematized even harmless forms of ethnic rivalry. The typical citizen no longer enjoys a lot of everyday opportunities to experience a sense of collective belonging. Elections provide one.

Jon Oliver on the Canadian election (recorded before the election).
Amusing and good commentary.

I don't have to, I can just connect the dots. The Kansas "experiment" was an exercise in supply side economics. Are you now distancing yourself from supply side economics, Reagan, and apple pie?
Please explain how the Kansas "experiment" was an exercise in supply side economics. Let's go through it, point by point so we can point out what was done incorrectly. Shall we?
You're making the same mistake - the same general brush painting - that people who rail against Keynesian economics do when they point to the US as following Keynesian principles. It's not 100%, it's a hybrid.
I've tried to explain this to you, but you're far more intent on just being right and snarky in your post than actually trying to understand the point. Cutting taxes, for example, is a good thing. But you can't just cut taxes overnight and have no income. A principle can be correct, but not if executed improperly.
