Summary

Ryan Derks, politically speaking, is trying to do the impossible.  Derks is a young Republican trying to beat Cleaver in Missouri's 5th for the U.S. House and he's got a new playbook.  He's not working for suburban votes, he's walking door to door and barbershop to barbershop to court black voters in KCMO where he has lived for years.  The big Dem Machine is pushing back hard and Derks is not happy that people around him are feeling the heat.  Politics is a nasty business, and while he's no typical candidate or Republican, Derks says he's not afraid of the fight.  And while Derks knows he will likely lose, he's actually just trying to spread a message to voters that feel the Dems have left them behind.
