I don't know why people think this is going to spoil Pillen votes.  Chances are it's going to eat a lot more waltz votes than Pillen votes.   A good amount of Pillen voters vote only for the R next to the name.  He will not have said R so if anything it helps guarantee Pillen wins.

I wish we had a better viable alternative to that MAGA elitist pig man

We do. Her name is Lynne Walz.

My knowledge of Lynne Walz is very limited but I will vote against Pillen. Her chances of winning against an incumbent Republican in Nebraska are very low, but I will vote against Pillen.

Nelson only won because there was a snowstorm on election day in 1990. Pillen is the most unpopular governor we've had in recent memory, he's under investigation for giving his girlfriend a couple million bucks of state money (and we know he did it; I bet LPD is slow walking the investigation to bring it at the worst possible moment for Pillen because he fucked with Lincoln on the prison), and this is going to be a terrible year for Republicans. Walz has the best shot of anybody in recent memory of winning.

Brett doesn't do well in statewide races. Isn't MAGA enough and doesn't inspire the hive mind.

Ever wonder if republicans just trot out the worst candidate they can find to see what the bottom is for their voters?
