Nebraska Republicans must defeat the establishment machine

When, at the NE-GOP State Convention, a majority of delegates handed the entrenched party overlords their pink slips, we “rebels” wondered whether Governor Ricketts would be a team player. We suspected he might act to undermine the newly-elected leadership. To the detriment of the party and the state, the governor wasted no time in doing so. Nebraska Republicans must now work together to defeat the establishment machine that seeks to centralize power unto itself, or else we will lose the state to socialist tyranny under Democrat rule.

As I previously asserted in my report on the State Convention, the Nebraska Republican Party elites think we heartland peasants are best seen and not heard. So, when deciding who shall have a voice in the direction and operation of the NE-GOP, the views of the grassroots were neither welcomed nor wanted. Unfortunately, Governor Ricketts, convinced of his own superior intellect, believes he alone must decide and guide all things Republican in Nebraska. From the moment we upstarts served the establishment’s water carriers their walking papers the governor and his allies have worked to damage the new and duly-elected party leadership.

Not long after former NE-GOP Chairman Dan Welch was voted out of office, Pete’s “yes men” made their move. These establishment elites abruptly resigned their positions and left the convention center. They then drove to Lincoln to wreak havoc within the NE-GOP’s offices, where they proceeded to sabotage computers, ransack files, and carry off just about everything that was not bolted down. This is but an example of how the establishment machine rolls over rank-and-file Republicans.

Governor Ricketts then decreed that all NE-GOP donors cease their contributions. So, what then should we of the grassroots conclude? If Pete cannot exercise total control, then there shall be no Republican Party in Nebraska?

Just wow...no wonder the Republicans don’t win much. With petty party people like this, who needs enemies?

They have too many weasel types like Ben Sasse. Little Ben worked to undermine Trump before the last election.

Actually, when you have an upstart challenge to the established incumbents, it can be very exciting.

He’ll start playing to the right in about 3 years. It’s what these creeps do.

Sasse like Linda will be up again in the midterms, a bad time for the party in the WH. Bite the bullet for those two?
Then there’s the POS Cassidy in La. No one in our own party will challenge them.

I may just be thinking too far ahead. Chess players think the same way.
