He’ll win next year +10.
These people are angry now but they hate Democrats too much to vote for them.
Then run a left leaning independent with messaging packaged for them to agree with. A lot on the right wanted Sanders in 2016. Medicare/Medicaid for all. Tax breaks for working families and raising taxes on corporations and the ultra wealthy.
See that was tried last year in Nebraska for a senate seat, and the unpopular Republican still won.
Y’all think it’s easy. That a bunch of white rural folks are gonna run to some magic progressive candidate as long as they aren’t a democrat.
90% of Nebraskans would rather shoot Bernie than vote for him.
10% approval is a bit low

Nebraskans hate ALL politicians. However Trump and his policies are losing ground there.

I don't think there's some magical candidate that'll win in Nebraska. I've been at this long enough to know that. It just seems people have forgot how policies and consistent messaging can win campaigns.
