NEW: I spent 3 days last week in Roger Marshall's longtime home of Great Bend. I talked to women whose babies he delivered, people who've known him 30 years, Dems, Republicans, a guy Marshall once tried to talk into buying a bird dog from his litter. (cont'd)

The mayor of Great Bend: “Look, it’s quite obvious he doesn’t live here anymore. He lives in Florida. He has a little hunting lodge south of Great Bend in Stafford County. And I think that’s an issue for people ... He’s become disconnected with a lot of people around here.”

Watching Trump's speech in Wichita, KS. About 20 minutes in and he's talked more about Abdul El Sayad and the Senate race in Michigan than Roger Marshall or Adam Hamilton.
