Unvetted, untested and unelectable

Another of what Britt Hume calls the "zany candidates" that keep Republicans from beating the Democrats.
 
Jennifer Rubin  "This morning I note that the GOP has an excellent chance to take the center, provide it doesn’t come up with “wacky, unvetted candidates who emulate the faction of the GOP voters dislike the most.” If Matt Bevin, government shutdown and once TARP supporter, is Exhibit A, then Milton Wolf, a far right-winger who is a cousin of the president, backed by the usual cast of far-right groups is Exhibit B.
....
"Sen. Pat Roberts’ spokesman Leroy Towns tells Right Turn, “This extremism exhibited by Milton Wolf is one big reason he has little support in Kansas.  His statements reported in Mother Jones are far outside the mainstream of conservative Kansas Republicans, and such comments have no place in any political conversation.” As for the primary this summer he says, “We are confident Republicans will soundly reject him in the August primary.' ”
 

But...but he's so photogenic
 
Kansas Sen. Roberts Fires Back at Milton Wolf Supporters   Pat Roberts, "The three-term senator, who revealed to The New York Times earlier this month that he pays rent to stay in the home of two donors when he's in Kansas, released a new ad Friday that included a barbed swipe at the Senate Conservatives Fund, which is backing Wolf, a radiologist who is President Obama's second cousin and a frequent critic of Obamacare.
