Sen. Ben Sasse’s outspoken rejection of Donald Trump is roiling Nebraska Republican politics, and the discord is threatening to boil over at the state’s GOP convention Saturday.
A prominent Nebraska political operative — who is the nephew of senior GOP Sen. Deb Fischer — is behind a move to publicly rebuke the anti-Trump movement. Sam Fischer has issued a proposed resolution — set for a vote at the convention — declaring that the state party will refuse to support any Republican officeholder who opposes the GOP presidential nominee or agitates for a third-party candidate.
Though the measure doesn’t name Sasse, the junior senator is clearly the target.

Nebraska sassing Sasse.
He wants to be the first “I told you so” candidate for 2020.

Instead he will be the first to go.
Sasse can kiss my ass.
Ben’s Ass needs a good kickin’
Nebraskans are pretty conservative, which includes not being a lightning rod like Sasse has been. Friend who holds political office at the state level says he is considered a nut and most Republicans want him to tone it down. Nebraska democrats of course think he’s the greatest since he damages the brand.
The TRUMP REVOLUTION is starting to consolidate it’s victory over the Establishment by the sheer momentum of it’s electoral landslide and the ‘self-preservation’ instinct of those in the political and donor class. The really smart politicians are getting ‘in line’ with the direction of the new political landscape, and will cause the TRUMP REVOLUTION to become even more stronger.
You can see the effects of this when TRUMP makes a ‘peace-or-else’ mission to the the DC GOPe, that’s for all it’s bluster from Ryan, is completely surrounded and under siege by the TRUMP forces just outside the gates of the city.
Basically, TRUMP says, complete and unconditional surrender within ‘X-time’, or else we will come in and turn your city into complete rubble. Surrender, and you can possibly stay!
Sasse may end up being in his house, and picked up by a tornado and transported to a far away place. The house will come down. He will be surrounded by small people. A green hag will appear with the face of Hillary Clinton complaining that he killed the other hag with the face of Elizabeth Warren. He will find he is wearing red shoes with Trump on the soles. Another “witch” will appear to scare off the first one, and she has the face of Melania Trump and speaks with an Eastern European Accent. continued
There are two kinds of Repubs who oppose Trump. Some, because his conservative credentials aren’t firm enough, and some because he is too firm.
For the first group, his victory in the primary settles it. They will support Trump.
For the second group, Hillary is a better alternative. We need to put a spotlight on these people. They have never been our allies.
If Trump has a history of squish on certain topics, he is nevertheless like granite on national sovereignty, and very good on economic matters. He is head and shoulders above every other Repub candidate except one... :)
And Hillary is a Clinton, and a criminal. That should settle it for anyone who is sentient with an ounce of morality.
Never go so far out on a limb that it threatens to break under your weight, and for sure, don’t be sawing it off while you are on the outer end.
Burning bridges as you go makes retreat difficult should you have to regroup and consolidate your forces. Getting ready for 2020 is NOTHING. If Herself does manage to somehow wrangle a path to the White House (an objective none of us ever want to see) the entrenched powers will be impossible to dislodge short of an all-out revolution and fragmentation of whatever the territory once known as “the United States of America” shall have become.
The Donald is the “I told you so” candidate that resulted from Mitt Romney muffing it up in 2012. If Mitt had decided to actually RUN for the office, instead of being “gentlemanly” about things like Benghazi and the impending doom that was coming from the badly constructed and mismanaged Obamacare fiasco, the Current Occupant wold never have been re-elected.
Herself if vulnerable. Let us concentrate on those vulnerabilities, and not so much on intellectual or theoretical “purity”.
The perfect is the enemy of the good. We do not have perfection, but we do have a chance with good.

Scalping Senator Ben Sasse: How I Ended a Presidential Campaign Before it Started

The good witch will encourage Sasse to get to an Amethyst City. Purple, which represents purple states. Groups of the little people will present Sasse with goodies. The resemble MSM. The lollypop guild leader looks like Stephanopolus. Lullaby league leader looks like Megyn Kelly. Then the Coroner appears. He looks like Joe Scarborough. Continued.
We have a nominee, for the first time since 1988, who has unified the legs of the vaunted Reagan coalition, and here these clowns want to once again gracefully concede to the Marxist Left just so they can continue to feed at the trough and maintain their standing on the D.C. cocktail circuit.
It's absolutely reprehensible and sickening. All Republican incumbents running for re-election should loudly proclaim their support for Trump and tell the opposition to go to Hell. Because you know the Rats will launch ads tying the Republican candidate to Trump, and then a few days later the Republican candidate is going to apologize, grovel, and says he's more "inclusive" and "willing" to work with the very Democrats that will destroy him/her.
Now's not to time for squishy, pantyhose-wearing moderates. They've had their run for 25 years.
Under fire? I suggest it might be more productive to put him over one.
I despise hypocrisy.
Okay, so he opposed Trump. He lost. I like Sasse. He just needs to pull it together and get behind the nominee.
People needn’t be shunned forever. What kind of world would we have if everyone had to be correct 100% of the time? None of us would qualify in that case.
The big guy won. He wasn’t my first choice. I’m glad to support him, as the other choice is much much worse.
As he sets off for Amethyst City on the Mauve Brick road, he encounters three characters. A scarecrow who resembles Bill Kristol, a tinman who is like George Will and a Cowardy Lion who is like Ben Shapiro. Continued
