A goat rodeo tonight in Omaha’s GOP meeting to censure Sen. Ben Sasse:

Republicans in Nebraska’s most populous and competitive political county fell short Tuesday on censuring U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse for his criticisms and votes against former President Donald Trump.

The effort by the Douglas County Republican Party to censure Sasse failed because of a technicality when a handful of the party’s central committee members left Tuesday’s meeting early. It looked like a strategic step by opponents of the measure, which angered several people in the crowd who were there to support Trump and rebuke Sasse.

The county GOP fell three people short of the quorum needed to vote on the resolution. Party organizers then made a last-ditch effort to add people to the central committee from the crowd to replace those who left. But each time they added someone to the central committee, the number needed for quorum climbed.
