Sasse marches to own tune as GOP implodes around him: If there's a model for how to successfully build a conservative GOP out of Trump's shadow, it might as well be the Nebraska Republican.
Politico ^ | February 27, 2021 | Burgess Everett

Ben Sasse is about to be censured by the Nebraska GOP for his antagonistic stance toward Donald Trump — again. But he doesn't care.

As Sasse's fellow Republican critics of Trump fret over blowback from a base that demands loyalty to the ex-president, the senator isn't even trying to dissuade those seeking to punish him. Sasse conceded in an interview: “I assume I'm going to be censured on Saturday, but I haven't spent any time to talk anybody out of it.”

The only thing Sasse is good for is he and his RINO Butt Buddy Romney get together in a hotel room.

Is Ben Sasse even conservative in the first place?

He is there to represent the people of Nebraska; NOT to promote is own agenda. Are the people of Nebraska so stupid that they don’t see the contempt he has for them? Or do they not care?

Never take Burgess Everett's political advice about anything...

The only thing Sasse is good for is he and his RINO Butt Buddy Romney get together in a hotel room.

When the left writes positively about a GOPe they are simply a get along go along GOPe who will sell conservatives out.

Right, Politico, like we really believe your nonsense about Sasse being the ideal.

The evidence accumulates practically by the hour as to why the GOPee needs to die. There is no way to reform such an irredeemable gang of liars and thieves. GOPee Delenda Est!

“When the left writes positively about a GOPe...”

The first thought out of my mouth. When Politico writes a supportive article about you, it’s not a medal to pin on your chest. There are 80 million Trump voters that would consider it a slap in their face.

“Sasse marches to own tune as GOP implodes around him: If there’s a model for how to successfully build a conservative GOP out of Trump’s shadow, it might as well be the Nebraska Republican.”

Headlines like these make it increasingly difficult for the Babylon Bee to keep up ...

I wonder if he convinced Politico to write this after they learned of his successes in selling ocean front properties located in his home state.

He’s an embarrassment. He would never get my vote.

I guess Sasse can join the fight with Murkowski, Kasich, and others over the 4% of Republicans who would like to see Trump banished from the party.

And if those people do really well, they may even get more votes than the Libertarian in 2024.
