Well that some college happens to be my alma mater, and liberal heads are exploding in Gainesville because of him.
I hope Ricketts goes down to defeat. He was one of the leading saboteurs in 2022. He starved Lake of AZ, Michels of WI, and Mastriano in PA of any money to conduct a decent campaign. Ricketts is the prime reason we have a governor in Arizona by the name of Katie Hobbs. With Republicans like Ricketts, who needs Democrats?
There’s a phenomenon with many Midwestern GOP Senators: Ricketts, Fischer, Rounds, Thune, Ernst and Grassley. I’d classify them as much as Globalists than RINO’s. It’s mainly driven by the farm lobby, international trade and ultimately the government largesse that chases all of it. I’m as interested as anyone to see how it all shakes out with MAGA.
I see a growing clash between farmers and globalism and the environmentalist mentality that comes with it. Much like what’s going on in the Netherlands and Germany. It’s putting these Senators between a rock and a hard place . . . and money talks which doesn’t rub many populists the right way. Ricketts epitomizes it.

And that’s exactly why McConnell wanted him appointed to Sasse’s seat.
“State and county parties should remain neutral until the primary is over.”
total hogwash ...
Those who questioned my comment, totally misunderstood what I was trying to present.
The people should choose the nominees in primary elections. At which time the party apparatus should embrace and support the candidates that were nominated. Before that party leadership should remain neutral.
