My apologies to Cornhusker Nation. Nebraska like all others is a great state with fine folk.My ref.was to electoral college which sets up so a relatively small state that consistantly votes for the same party(Repub.) gets no play. Delaware would be a Dem example. That’s the way it sets up for better or worse.

Nebraska has 5 Electoral votes, South Dakota has 3 so I reckon these folks are not relevant
to you. For better or worse it pays to know what you are talking about when you post here.

Old Trooper Thanks for reminding me of some great Nebraskans as well as Joe Foss. Nebraska has voted Republican in 11 straight presidential elections since LBJ over Goldwater in 64.Small electoral college states like Del and R I have similar Dem pres election #’s.These states will only flip in major landslides like 1964 and 1984(Reagan/Mondale.Again.thanks for your input and your service.
