OMAHA — At least two types of local conservatives met Wednesday with U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, the Republican vice presidential nominee, during his visit to Nebraska: grassroots and donors.

More than 175 Republican activists attended a private event at the downtown DJ’s Dugout to meet former President Donald Trump’s running mate, some wearing flag apparel or MAGA hats.

The campaign added the stop at DJ’s Dugout after the Examiner reported last week that Vance was visiting Omaha for a fundraiser with top local conservative donors and elected leaders.

No press allowed in

Neither event was open to the press. But some of those attending the sports bar meeting said Vance took photos with fans, smiled when they chanted “Fight! Fight! Fight!” and signed hats and books. He didn’t make a speech.

6. Oh yeah?! Well here in Kent, Ohio -

Just in case you might be wondering, I did not attend !

7. Looks like a gathering of basement dwellers..

The fact that tRump and Shady visit a very red enclave shows you how worried they are about retaining a grip on their MAGA cult.

8. There's one MAGA I would go see at a bar

Mayor Rudy.
I would want to see how much he could drink, and whether he would still be hitting on women 50 years younger than himself.
