Posted on May 10, 2017 by Paul Mirengoff in Bernie Sanders, DemocratsTrump resistance flops againIn 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.Continued: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/05/live-from-omaha-trump-resistance-flops-again.php
