From Axios link, (excerpt) Flashback ... Sasse in his maiden Senate speech in 2015: "Everything cannot be simply Republicans versus Democrats. ... I promise you that I plan to speak up when the next president of my party exceeds his or her proper powers."(end excerpt)

I still think Willard Romney the one big thorn, now I guess Sasse wants to join his rank, after Sasse's successful primary win in May. Criticize Trump on his EOs is fine, but together with those other things he did, well, he's wishy-washy to say the least.

(From wiki page)

Born in Plainview, Nebraska, Sasse earned a doctorate in American history from Yale University. He taught at the University of Texas and served as an assistant secretary in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.[2]

It’s like Jeff Flake never left.

I am from Nebraska and I hate Ben Sasse. Mainly because he continually outs himself as and Anti Trumper.

Nebraskans are stupid. Bob Kerry, Chuck Hagel, Ben Nelson who was the deciding vote to push Obama Care forward, and now Ben Sasse were all elected by my fellow residents.

Every one said one thing at election time and continually did the opposite in Washington and they just keep electing them

Mitch needs to slap this wimp down. And the rest of the GOP Senate should call him and insist he shut the heck up. Typical loser GOPers.

Ben Sasse is a boil on the butt of the GOP. Amazing that he kept his mouth shut until his primary was secured. Phony POS.

All these RINO chumps think they should be POTUS...

Sasse just enjoys being a contrarian...it’s his persona...

For Willard, this is all a personal vendetta for being called a bad name on the playground...

Plus, Willard may have his snout in the public trough that could put him at risk...

Anyone who knows the facts of the things he criticized, knows that he’s a total liar.

Troops going to Poland close to Russia.

Were no Russian bounties.

Didn’t attack peaceful protesters they injured more than 80 secret service agents.

But Sasse is scum.

Flakey is even more offensive than Sasse, he had the gall to write "Conscience of a Conservative: A Rejection of Destructive Politics and a Return to Principle." (2017) before his next ambition (a possible run for potus).

What is wrong with AZ?

Trump didn’t get involved in Primaries. Now he has to live with the fools. I wish the Dems would be able to work with Trump then there’d be a legitimate option to get rid of these fools.

“President Obama did not have the power to unilaterally rewrite immigration law with DACA...”

The Supreme Court says he did.

Therefore, that power accrues to Trump.

Sasse needs a severe attitude adjustment. Is there a money trail, business deal, fondness for something illicit? Find it.

Actually, he is correct in his opinion. We would howl if a Democrat did this. However, it’s an astute political move, and puts the Dems in a position of arguing against helping people.

The Supreme Court says otherwise. While I disagree with the SCOTUS, we might as well push things a little so the hypocrisy is evident and things correct themselves.

The GOP is a predominantly globalist, a party with a very few nationalists sprinkled in for looks. So few nationalists, 1 President, maybe 3 Senators and 30 or so Representatives. That's about it for the nationalist wing of the GOP.

It always surprises me how well they do every election despite being so anti worker .

Compromised. Corrupt. The only question is how? Ties to Burisma? Or some other crookedness?

No excuse for this crap in light of what's at stake in this election. None. This guy is ending his political career.

Read others’ comments re: SCOTUS on DACA.

All we know is “Some EOs are okay according to SCOTUS, but not others” and there’s no standard(s) that SCOTUS adhere to.

".... unconstitutional slop...."

Sasse is not a GOP Senator. He's in bed with the democRATS. He's on their daily talking points memo list. He reminds me of Jeff "The Flake" Flake.

Nancy Pelosi used the exact same wording to describe Trump's Executive Order.

These guys can't hide under the GOP skirt any longer.
