A six-minute Brownback video starts with one-liners from his comedy tour of Iowa, then segues into a sepia-toned biography of great accomplishments — president of — and then morphs into his issue one-liners.

Comedy sound bites: “It’s amazing how many of these small towns are named after their watertowers. . . You guys know how to welcome a guy from Kansas. [beat] With a tornado.”

Character sound bite: “America’s most consistent conservative. His values don’t change in the wind. He stands tall like an oak.” Cue oak shot.

Political sound bite: “We’re close to being able to overturn Roe vs. Wade. We’re one justice away.” And he wants to be the president who appoints that justice. “You can’t understand America without understanding faith.”
