The problem here as I am hearing on the local talk radio call ins is that too many Nebraskans who probably claim to be conservative are doing the same thing as many did nationally in 2012; “my candidate didn’t win so I’m taking my toys and going home”. I won’t vote for the GOP candidate who won because he beat my candidate, I don’t like the guy who won so I won’t vote for him. Most claim to want to see the democrats put out of power but out of the same mouth comes the statement of not voting for the selected candidate which is another defacto vote for a democrat and democrat power. Not sure how they resolve that paradox. Had several who have said they figure that if the democrat is elected then after one term the electorate will be sick of them and elect a “real” conservative, whatever their definition of a “real” conservative is. That notion was voiced nationally on these threads in 2008 and 2012 and how has that worked out? Dinsdale, candidate for the senate, who lost to Sasse made the comment that he wasn’t sure he would support Sasse, thus proving that he isn’t the conservative republican he said he was. Pack of morons.
This is fatal to a Republican majority on either side. And it really is nothing more than a tantrum no matter who does it. All the rationale in the world won't explain turning your back on the Republican party because you don't like the leadership.
That establishes a Democrat majority and Democrat leadership.
