If you don't overcome the idiots and the fraud in the General against the 'rat....all this primary stuff is just fart gas.

...and then even if you overcome those odds, if the winner is GOP-e....all this election stuff is just fart gas.

Actually its a very good thing Trump’s guy loses to a better candidate from time to time to remind him his base is voting with their brains and not out of loyalty.

An endorsement from Tom is hard to beat.

Reporters asked Pillen why he would accept the endorsement of Kleine, a former Democrat. He was the establishment guy. Then they used the Brett Kavanaugh attack against him right before the election. Accusations without proof.

“What exactly is bad about Pillen?”

Someone from Nebraska can answer this better, but from an outsider’s perspective anyone endorsed by Pete Ricketts and Tom Osborne HAS to be a GOPe squish or RINO. No way would those two ever endorse a true conservative. Now ultra-ultra-ultra-liberal “Republican” Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland has jumped on the Pillen Bandwagon.

Game over, for anyone who thinks Pillen isn’t well to the left of center.

At least Pillen wasn’t the absolute worst option available, merely the second-worst; Brett Lindstrom is essentially a Democrat, not even “RINO” describes him properly.

We had democrats crossing over big time to make sure Trump didn’t get his guy. The good news lots of democrats to changing parties because of the lefts corruption, extreme views, high prices, and allowing criminals to walk.

It was also the women who said he touched them inappropriately. People here said they were afraid that maybe it was true and wouldn’t put it pass the democrats to release proof in the general election. Then we’d lose completely.

Many were trying to get rid of Don Bacon but his opponent hardly had any money. Sasse the ass too. The Secretary of State (rino) is corrupt also. The two guys running against him said there was proof that he gave the extra electoral vote to Biden.

So frustrating!

Thanks for that explanation. Let’s hope Pillen wins the general election. I hope Trump will support him in that.

I agree. As much as I like Trump, we shouldn't let him be our kingmaker and so we should not just blindly support anybody he picks.

58-1 is not a bad track record though!

The winner in Nebraska seems like a good guy and I wish him well in November.

You know little of Nebraska politics of of Jim Pillen’s stands: Reject CRT completely, continue Gov. Ricketts pattern of reducing taxes, strong support for 2A and law enforcement, cutting waste in state gov’t and naturally, strong support for agriculture and fighting socialism.

And no baggage, just a good record of service.

Thats why he won.

We’re now hearing that Hannity begged Trump to endorse Dr. Oz as a personal favor to him. Maybe you should ask why Trump endorsed Herbster...

Donald Trump’s 58-1 won/loss record proves he’s lost his political clout within the Republican Party.

Indeed. The clown show doesn’t even know what the term RINO means. They really do nothing other than regurgitate memes and parrot whatever the Grifter Pundit tells them.

They are utterly incapable of any coherent thought.

Makes perfect sense.

It’s not like the winning opponent won by double digits either.

There was mention of Democratic crossover voters in Nebraska which should be regarded as a violation of Section 2 of the 14th Amendent imo, not that corrupt feds are going to do anything about it.
"14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Section 2: Apportionment of Representatives]

Patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.

Insights welcome.

I think I read that there were some sexual abuse allegations that may have sunk Herbster.

Elections are so opaque and resistant to forensic auditing, who “won” is unknowable and impossible to prove.

“Game over, for anyone who thinks Pillen isn’t well to the left of center.”

You sound like just another Free Republic Assistant Democrat.

Pillen’s statement on his website:

“Nebraska represents the best of America, and this is where we make our stand. We’ll defend our right to keep and bear arms. We’ll stand with law enforcement, safeguard our communities, and demand order on the southern border. We’ll stand up to radicals who want to use red tape and fake meat to put Nebraska agriculture out of business. We’ll advance a culture of life and protect the unborn.”

Left wing radical? Get out of here.

Nebraska gives us a loser like Sasse already so it’s to be expected.
