If it walks like a Democrat and talks like a Democrat, it probably is a Democrat. Such is the mantra that voters should apply to Nebraska “independent” Senate candidate Dan Osborn.

Osborn is running against Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts and telling voters that he is truly independent from the two-party system. When asked if he philosophically aligns with the Democratic Party on most major issues, Osborn outright said he would agree with that characterization. Among his biggest hits, Osborn wants to codify Roe v. Wade and force all states to allow essentially unlimited abortion, and he sided with open borders activists in Minneapolis over the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers whom those activists were harassing.
