‘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 really is an ass,
Ben Sasse has no class,
And if he thinks about a 2020 dash,
We the people will give him a pass

He’s apt to get primaried himself in a few years. Nebraskan’s think Sasse is an Ass.

How about fighting against ACA and the Democrats. Progress, not a bunch of meaningless talk.

Ben “The Ass” Sasse is going to be a one termer here in Nebraska unless he gets off his ass and starts pushing the things we Trump voters voted for.

"I see the bumper sticker:"

"Vote For Ben's Ass"


Here are some things that you can get and send to his new campaign headquarters (CNN),
in order for them to

Help Ben's Ass!


("Leave the pain behind.")






"Duhhhhh!"

(Now we just have to figure out how his campaign team (CNN)
can also apply these things to help his brain and his face.)

Sasse the Ass lied through his ass to get elected as a true conservative who would represent his constituents views. Instead, he’s in opposition to the president WE voted in. He’s trying to emulate the last lying senator we had who decided he was elected to vote his conscience, not the will of the people; UpChuck Hagel.

We’re having serious buyers remorse once again and this pompous pimple on the ass of time is going to be primaried himself.

It is a mistake to assume that Ben Sasse is obsessed with opposing Trump. He doesn’t even mention Trump in his new book “The Vanishing American Adult: Our Coming-of-Age Crisis—and How to Rebuild a Culture of Self-Reliance”.

I was impressed with his interview on CSPAN:

> What does Ben Sasse want, that Donald Trump isn’t doing?

There’s a theory that these nevertrumpers are being paid to be nevertrumpers.

anti-Trumper, Ben Sasse ...

None of the anti-Reagans stood a chance after his first four years.

I suspect Trump's first four years will bring even better results than Reagan's.
