the currant Governor is an aberration. When GOP officials there start to leave: its for principled reasons. The Republican legislature voted to end the death penalty and this Governor got a referendum vote to resume it, it was a conservative versus liberal issue. People who didn't care for the Governor voted to resume it.

A good OP would be about State Senator Ernie Chambers, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Chambers

I lived in the NE corner of Nebraska from '92 to 98. I had to walk to the pharmacy to get my subscription Omaha Herald. People were conservative in state and federal politics. Fairly liberal in local. Gov and then Senator Bob Kerry of NE was a Democratic candidate POTUS. But dated Debra Winger. Kerry was pretty a MoR Democrat. NE did vote GHW Bush that November.

You lose them in Nebraska, you lose in time.

Maybe we are at a convergence of tipping points. Maybe we have more going for us than we think,

You already did one about Sen Chambers, I think!
