Ben Sasse, the loudest, most persistent, highest-ranking detractor of Donald Trump left in the GOP, insists, “There’s nothing I’ve done with Mr. Trump that has anything to do with political posturing.” A growing number of Republicans would beg to differ.

One thing not to like Trump, another to keep opening his disloyal pie hole.

[T-Bone Texan]

Sasse has no opinions of his own that are not vetted beforehand by his owner(s).

Sasse does the bidding of the elites.

[napscoordinator]

Totally agree. No law says you have to like or support trump but fighting against him and getting others against is unacceptable at this point.

[ozzymandus]

Where do you get these guys, Nebraska? And why do you elect them?

[Theodore R.]

Cornhuskers get confused sometimes, but they had two good senators from yesteryear, Carl T. Curtis and Roman Hruska.

[Theodore R.]

A lot of it has to do with being uninformed about potential candidates.

Sasse is a Cheap Labor Express stooge, like Flimsey Grahamnesty.
They are running out of options on stopping Trump.

Just like some other car car folks in the D.C. political class, good old Ben thinks he is ‘impotant’......

I hope the voters make him impotent instead

“highest ranking” ??? I believe he is considered to be a “freshman senator”. But I agree with your comment.

[Lurkinanloomin]

At the beginning of 2015 I would not have thought that Ted Cruz belonged on that poster, but sadly, now I do.
This campaign has been most enlightening as well as entertaining.

Ben Sasse came BEGGING to Constitutional Conservatives to get financing for his Senatorial campaign. He backstabbed his supporters so quickly that it's hard to imagine that it wasn't his intention all along.

Republican voting and donation fodder aren't going to just take it any more. Senator Sasse and his ilk in the Republican Party are WORSE than the dems. Why? They bar*ssed lied to steal a nomination from some candidate who might have had respect for conservative voters.

Grrrr.....these backstabbers are still looking for excuses to not embrace the Trump candidacy. They disgust me.

(end of this rant)

I agree. On the Dem side, frosh Elizabeth Warren is described as if she joined the Senate at the same time as Orrin Hatch.

[SERKIT]

Senator Sasse: Don't confuse effort with accomplishment.
