Last month the gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster was accused of groping eight women. This conduct would likely have disqualified him in the eyes of many Nebraskans in the pre-Trump era. Will it now?

from the National Rifle Association, and warned in one of his campaign flyers that “the radical left will stop at nothing.”, where he was pitching his candidacy to several dozen voters, he appeared relaxed. There were nohats in the crowd, and Trump’s name did not come up. When Lindstrom promised not to attack Herbster or Pillen personally, many people applauded. “I want to show that you can win an election without cutting people down,” he said.

Ryan Horn, a Republican media strategist, is watching to see whether Lindstrom’s lower-key, suburban profile will be a help or a hindrance amid the state’s shifting demographic and political trends. Either way, he sees a clear path to the governorship for Tuesday’s Republican winner. Eighteen months ago, Trump defeated Joe Biden by nineteen points in Nebraska, although Biden won an electoral vote in the Second District, centered on Omaha.

peterdslevin I thought Republicans were allowed to grope women by law; the sexual harassment and rascism laws only applied to Democrats, who are legally obligated to resign, and then after a few years of shame are given a talk show.

peterdslevin He is teaching them a very important lesson in how easy it is. 'When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything! It's unbelievable.' GOP

peterdslevin Trash calling itself news. why are you even in my feed!!

gtconway3d KellyannePolls loves groping, hates women having rights to their own bodies

peterdslevin Isn't prior sexual harrassment career a kind of prerequisite for any Trump candidate now

peterdslevin JD Vance was a test and Trumpers prevailed. Let’s he how the more bible thumping MAGA crowd in heartland feels.

gtconway3d No.

gtconway3d Groping women in the GOP is not a bug...it's a feature.

gtconway3d No

SpiroAgnewGhost A guy in jail for allegedly killing his wife won the GOP primary so I’m going to go with no.

gtconway3d Now in the Republican Party, having accusations against you is mandatory.

UROCKlive1 I believe it's now considered a badge of honor for the GOP.

gtconway3d No.

gtconway3d The pigs need to be sent to the farm! 🐖

gtconway3d We can only hope.

Rs don't give AF about truth, morals or integrity. They're the party of hate. Groping women may actually help him.

The conserbative Republican party is the American taliban. Like the Taliban, they condone violence against women, hate democracy & only punishes members when they expose hypocrisy (see Madison cawthron)

This type of behavior is almost a requirement of today's GQP.

gtconway3d BREAKING NEWS! Alabama jailbreak lovebirds captured. Announce they are both running for Congress as GOP. Trump endorsement to follow.

gtconway3d Having sexual assault allegations against you, is a badge of honor in the Republican Party.

Pre-Trump era, a candidate would've stepped out of the race so as to not bring a distraction to the race.

gtconway3d ALL YOU YT LADIES WHO WANT YOUR BODILY RIGHTS.. VOTE BLUE.!!! … YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIKE IT BUT WE ARE TAKING OUT THE PIGS WHO DON’T CARE. YOU CAN ALL VOTE RED LATER ON! REMEMBER THAT!

gtconway3d Nope

SpiroAgnewGhost Of course not. The Party of Trump believes it is perfectly acceptable to reach out and grab a woman’s pussy. Trump bragged about it. And they were fine with it. In GOP it is clearly an acceptable behavior.

gtconway3d The Herbster is in the semen business. Bull semen for cows. He just makes it too easy.

gtconway3d Just good old midwestern values. 🙄I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the Trump tree.

gtconway3d Maddow just did a segment talking about the shocking of Republican men indicted/accused/jailed for assault/sex abuse … are running - and winning - their primaries. This is now a thing: hold a gun to your wife, threaten to ‘blow her brains out’ and you will win your primary.

gtconway3d In Omaha I’ve seen more Brett signs followed closely by Jim. South of I80 and east of York, it’s primarily Jim. Out west north platte, it’s a toss up between Jim and Charles.

gtconway3d Trump will say Is that all 8 I've groped dozens

gtconway3d Will find out tomorrow.

gtconway3d Gary Hart sat on a boat with a woman. I rest my life ring.

gtconway3d Insufficient quantity, is that the disqualifier?

gtconway3d No,but abortion brought on by these ass**** will be criminalized!

gtconway3d There are an awful lot of moral-less () People in USA.

gtconway3d It’s actually a prerequisite to being a Republican politician.

gtconway3d The GOP loves politicians that assault women, he’ll be fine

SpiroAgnewGhost hate to say it, but this will likely benefit him as he claims he's being silenced or something.

SpiroAgnewGhost DougJBalloon

gtconway3d Why would it be ? Can democrats wake up eventually? The world has changed but not Biden and democrats who still do politics like it’s 1990

Maybe if they press rape charges it'll start to sink in.

Trump has admitted to being a groper and it didn’t change their vote.

The bar has been lowered so far, it's hit bedrock.

It’s a feature! How Trumpian!

No

Grab em by the pussy!

'We think for ourselves': Nebraska GOP governor candidate expects victory without Trump endorsementThough a Republican candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump has yet to lose a primary in the 2022 midterm election cycle, one Nebraska candidate expects to break the streak this coming Tuesday. “We think for ourselves” give me a fucking break!

J.D. Vance triumphed in U.S. Senate primary thanks to Trump. Gov. Mike DeWine won despite himOhio Republicans backed by Trump had a banner night in last week's primary races, but one candidate won without his help: Gov. Mike DeWine. Republicans fail to see that these two trains will collide in November. JD Vance won Ohio because of his hate ad... 'Do you hate Mexicans' if that wasn't a hate slur, I don't know what one is, there is a bunch of weak people in Ohio let that go unchecked! How come no one is protesting outside his house with their 2 amendment peoples...🗣️ Yes, so maybe Trump had little to do with Vance's victory. His endorsement means less than he thinks it does and I'm unimpressed by people who seek it. I don't think Vance did.
