Ben Sasse says it's 'highly unlikely' that Trump will be Republican nominee
Omaha World-Herald ^ | March 15, 2016 | Joseph Morton

A recent poll by Victory Processing asked Nebraskans about Trump and Sasse. The poll's questions appeared aimed at gauging how Sasse's stance is playing with his constituents.

The results of the poll are not publicly available, nor is it clear who commissioned the poll.

The Nebraska Public Service Commission shows Victory Processing as having the same Grand Rapids, Michigan, address as Victory Phones, a vendor that Sasse's Senate campaign used for polling, fundraising and other services.

He laughed at a recent Huffington Post story about the American Enterprise Institute's annual gathering at a private island resort off the coast of Georgia. The story indicated that the main topic of this year’s event became how to stop Trump's campaign.

Sasse said he was on several panels at the gathering, talking about topics ranging from Senate dysfunction to young people's view of free speech — but said none had anything to do with Trump.

I know this may sound infantile, but Ben Sasse needs a hiding - just like a naughty child. He needs to get off his high horse and realize that we need to rally around Donald Trump who is VERY LIKELY to be the nominee.

People have been saying that for months. It’s starting to ring more hollow with each passing day.

I’m thinking of that film “The Purge.” We really need a purge.

Yeah, sounds Trotskyite, but the fact is the elites in all the mags, the party organizations have been there for a generation and have grown way, way too comfortable with power. I didn’t agree with Andrew Jackson on much, but “rotation in office” is a pretty good principle.

Liar. I’m stunned at how quickly this ‘strong conservative’ got turned around. There is a huge game afoot and only select members get to participate. I detest them all.

Omaha is RINO central, a major financial center in the middle of nowhere.

Well, I guess that settles it then. I’m sure Ben Sasse is THE authority on calling political races. Someone should inform Rove?

I don’t know this guy but isn’t it interesting that these establishment types just bypass the actual people of this country like they aren’t there and that the establishment will chose with no regard to those people at the convention using gimmicks, devises and corruption. The ramifications of that ever occurring are similar to the after math at Hiroshima.

"Why is Sasse a first year senator the out front guy on this?"

Because he hasn't been bought off by Trump? I admit I am looking forward to n open convention. It would be the best thing if someone (as in every other presidential year) has a majority of the delegates. The new "plurality" argument is being put forward because Trump can't get a majority of the Republican vote, let alone a November General election vote.

If Trump is screwed out of the nomination by dirty RINO tricks, I’ll write him in in the general election. I urge all supporters of the free enterprise system of voting to do the same.

The movement doesn’t need to stop at a speed bump, full speed ahead. Don’t let the establishment steal this election.

Because he is not clearly identified as a Cheap Labor Express stooge, yet.

He didn't get turned around. He is being a strong conservative. There are lots and lots of us social and constitutional conservatives who can't stand Trump and don't trust him.

Sounds like he has inside knowledge of the coming audible at the line of scrimmage on Rule 40.

Start packing for Cleveland. Bring your pitchforks.

So when Trump is nominated, will you be voting for Hillary, ala your tag line?
