57. Of course he talks in favor, he's got women in his life. But look who's still running NE after all these years.

Republicans. His buddy from Chicago, Pete Ricketts, is a senator.

It's not what he says, it's what he does/doesn't do that defines his real politics. He's a DINO. Of course there are Democrats in NE. It would be good to poll them to see what they know about what he's done to support the party platform. He doesn't. And he won't be at the DNC in Chicago, either.

It's obvious that there's something good that many people can say about any single one of the 77. They're on this list for the reasons given in the OP, and so is he. If you read #35, you'd see that he's not to be trusted by women of his state or anywhere. He contributed directly to AL's Gov Ivey to institute the total abortion ban in that state. It will come to NE, too. Cuz that's how right wing oligarchs roll. They don't care about equal rights or democracy.
