Trump resistance flops again

In what may have been a mild upset victory, Omaha’s Republican mayor Jean Stothert defeated Bernie Sanders–backed Democrat, Heath Mello. The margin was 53-46.

Dave Begley, our man in Omaha (and Council Bluffs), wrote about the Omaha mayor’s race here. He called it “a national proxy political war” and noted that Hillary Clinton won more Omaha votes than Donald Trump. Moreover, registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by 16,000 in Omaha.

Thus, Mello’s defeat is a blow to “the resistance.” His campaign theme — “Come together. Fight back” — failed to carry the day.

You wouldn't think registered Democrats in Omaha would outnumber registered Republicans in Omaha by 16,000 and then, in turn, the Democratic candidate did not win. Interesting story. Did they just not show up?

Maybe all the cows and the most famous person in Omaha voted Republican.

My favorite song by him is on that album.

If you lose the cows, you lose Omaha.
