Well, the Kansas delegates are back and are probably sorting through the credit card receipts to see just how good a time they had—and how long they are going to remember and pay off—those trips to the Republican and Democratic national conventions.
And, for many of the Republican and Democratic delegates and alternates and friends and staff and, well, whoever else showed up at the GOP festival in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Democratic party in Philadelphia, Pa., they’re probably also wondering just what they achieved for their political parties in Kansas.
Remember, neither delegation to either convention saw the result it was after.
