I don’t understand what motivates Chris Christie.” That’s one of Senator Ben Sasse’s softer statements during our conversation Wednesday morning. We’re talking about the New Jersey governor’s recent endorsement of Donald Trump. After multiple media appearances this week following his declaration that he would not vote for Trump under any circumstance, Sasse can lambast the Republican front-runner on autopilot. But when reflecting on Trump’s latest string of high-profile surrogates, he struggles for the right words.

On Morning Joe on Tuesday, Sasse told Joe Scarborough that if Trump and his brand of identity politics become the party’s new standard, “I’m out.”
So we should just stand by and let the Democrats play all the identity politics they want and not fight back?
I’m happy to help Sasse get OUT!
Let me help too. This man is exactly the elitist scum I am happy to see move on.
Like it or not, the conservative movement is, by definition, a movement of ideas being put into action. The problem with the Boehners and McConnells of the world is that there is only lip service on ideas, and there is no action. The problem with Trump is that there are no ideas and, in fact, he scoffs at ideas. Neither is acceptable, but I fear the latter more.
Just Go
Well, we sure shouldn’t “fight back” by becoming exactly like the Democrats.
After eight years of the Dems and their identity politics, we have an angrily divided country the likes of which I have never seen before. I don’t think playing our own version of the game will help in the least, and in fact it could bring the whole thing down.
