‘Never Trumper’ Ben Sasse Goes to Iowa After Refusing to Rule Out 2020 Primary Challenge
Breitbart ^ | July 8, 2017 | Tony Lee

Posted on 07/08/2017 9:00:44 PM PDT by be-baw

After refusing to rule out a potential 2020 primary challenge to President Donald Trump, “Never Trump” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) spoke to about 200 Republicans in Story County, Iowa on Friday evening. Sasse’s excuse was that he was in Iowa because he lost a college football bet and his kids were participating in a triathlon this weekend in the state..

In an interview before his Iowa trip, the insufferable and sanctimonious Sasse would not rule out a potential 2020 presidential run. When CNN asked about his potential presidential ambitions on Sunday, Sasse punted in a way that would have made the late Sam Foltz proud.

According to a McClatchy report, though, Trump still “remains so strong in conservative corners of Trump-friendly states, including Iowa, that party leaders, operatives and grassroots activists say there is no serious on-the-ground discussion of a 2020 challenge at this point.” Many who attended the dinner expressed similar sentiments to local Iowa reporters.

Ben Sasse. He is promoted by the same media groups who are promoting Al Franken. Obviously, the media groups are promoting failures.

Trump is a winner and Americans are enjoying our improved economy.

“Trump still “remains so strong in conservative corners of Trump-friendly states”

But what about RINO friendly corners. Some of us want cute cuddly likeable globalist sellouts.

Let him run in the primary, sucking up money to be wasted on his campaign and weaken the never-Trump Republicans who remain and Democrats who would fund him.

I swear before the almighty, I will vote for a democrat before I vote for this guy. Better an enemy than a backstabbing traitor.

The low life.

I graduated from Ballard of Huxley in Story County. Sasse is going nowhere.

Sasse is not even as significant as a pimple on Trump’s butt.

What Ben Sasse wants is for Trump to stop enforcing the laws and securing the border.
