Trump defends, endorses Herbster at rescheduled Nebraska rally

Source: Omaha World Herald

By CHRIS DUNKER

GREENWOOD, Neb. -- Railing against the political establishment in front of a crowd of more than 3,000 people on Sunday, Charles Herbster cast himself as an outsider running with the blessing of former President Donald Trump.

In a wide-ranging speech that lasted about 25 minutes, Herbster said he was ready to "take back Nebraska" from elites entrenched in the state's political leadership.

"The establishment has taken control of the state of Nebraska and the Nebraska Republican Party and they are trying to scare me out of this race," Herbster said, without mentioning any names specifically.

"It's not going to happen."

And son Pete is the term-limited Governor. Ricketts was an early supporter of Donald Trump. The fact that only 3,000 people showed up shows how big of trouble Herbster is in following wide-spread, recent charges of groping.

Trump's "I'm not stupid" rallies are wash/rinse/repeat...blathering vomitus bilge...whines, lies, forever the victim/hero, bullyboy taunts, name calling, threats, racist tropes, Biden this/Biden that, bad Democrats, beautiful wall, blah blah..the moronic faithful cheer their mutual hate (Trump's crowd masturbation), shout "Lock her up!", and everyone goes home.....as for the ever diminishing rally crowd, Trump is not the draw he once was..the longer he's center stage, spewing his quasi-dementia nonsensical verbal diarrhea and blessing depraved ass-kissing candidates, the more obvious it becomes their orange miscreant of a "savior" is nothing more than a delusional buffoon (killer tomatoes, pineapples, bananas), exiled and isolated from reality..

"Sir, why didnt you "Lock her up" when you were in office 4 years?". Remember he said "If I were president, you'd be in jail". So what happened SIR?
