Trump's boy Herbster in fading fast in Nebraska's Governor primary race!

[imanamerican63]

Once he was the front runner, is at 26% while Pillen and Lindstrom are close with 32% of the vote! It’s still early though, but maybe Nebraska Republicans are not interested in having a Trump Groper as their Governor?

1. Hope someone is keeping a scorecard on how trump's endorsees are doing.

3. Trump backed cult member won in WV against Manchin backed candidate

[Hoyt]

6. That's interesting. Not sure how to take it. Do we have to back Manchin now?

[brooklynite]

10. Yes, if you want to hold on to the WV Senate seat.

There's a huge chasm between Republican vs MAGA and Democratic vs Republican

[Hoyt]

11. Agree completely.

[RockRaven]

7. Overall TFG has a high batting average for his endorsements because he usually endorses the

incumbent. And when there isn't an incumbent he usually endorses the frontrunner or the person with the best name recognition.

In other words, he follows from the front.

[Hoyt]

8. Good observation. Thanks.

15. +1

19. Nebraska is Trump's first loss in 2022

They've called the race now. Trump’s guy post by about 5%.

[Hoyt]

21. Well that's good. I think trump's endorsee in Georgia, Perdue, will lose.

2. Still close -- here's a link:

66% of vote is in

[imanamerican63]

4. Yeah, I agree!

But he’ll have to make up a lot ground?

[spooky3]

5. We need Kornacki

[Hoyt]

9. I know people bash Kornacki, but he's really good at analyzing outstanding vote.

I watched him for hours during 3 days of uncertainty in 2020. Probably would have stroked out if he hadn’t kept saying “but all these uncounted votes lean Democratic.”

[SCantiGOP]

18. He's my favorite for election night coverage

But he sure wouldn’t win a popularity contest here at DU.

[Hoyt]

20. Exactly.

[Nevilledog]

12. Groper lost

13. Great! Nt

[DenaliDemocrat]

14. A shit ton of us switched parties to vote against Herbster

I’m not proud but Herbster is insane.

[imanamerican63]

16. Hurry back to Dems side!

Carol Blood needs your vote! Pillen is a hack wannabe Ricketts and we all know how that turned out!

[DenaliDemocrat]

17. Of course I'm voting Blood in November

But 10,000 of us did what had to be done. It worked too.

22. He wasn't star enough

For them to let him do it

23. Suck it, fucko
