Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse Responded To Donald Trump and It Was PERFECT
Redstate ^ | January 29, ,2016 | Dan McLaughlin

Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse is one of the best new Senators elected in 2014, and we at RedState were proud to support him in the primaries. After keeping a low profile his first few months in the Senate, the 43 year old freshman has gradually been building a higher profile as a conservative reformer, and has recently started grilling Donald Trump on Twitter. Today, Trump fired back - and Sasse responded in kind, giving The Donald a taste of his own medicine.

Sasse started bearing down on Trump on Sunday, beginning by noting - as many elected Republicans have - that Trump has indeed raised some important issues and questions in this campaign. But Sasse has far more serious questions on his mind about Trump as a potential Leader of the Free World.

As you can see, some of these questions were serious policy issues, some were questions of personal character, but all were serious matters a presidential candidate should be ready to address. Getting no response, Sasse upped the ante two days later after Trump bailed on the debate in Iowa, which neighbors Sasse's state

Yawn, redstate Trump hit-piece number twelve thousand six hundred and thirty two posted at FR, though I’ll have to say this about the stupidest one yet. Still, I suppose you anti-Trump, fake-pro-Cruz Democrat trolls get paid by the post, so you have to dig up what you can.

Perfect. A Harvard and Oxford boy, with degrees on government. He’s never held a job outside of government. Red State loves him.

About says it all. He isn’t fit to shine Trumps shoes.

Pretty soon the majority of the conservative movement will be an enemy of Trump and his supporters merely for opposing him or even asking relevant policy questions... These are strange times..

And it was PERFECT? Unreal. The boy went to Harvard and Oxford and was a Bushie. His lethal response to Trump was that hope Russia doesn’t hire Meghan Kelly. And to claim Trump has short fingers.

His astounding education is showing. And face it, he got a degree in government, not law. He must not be THAT bright.

“lots of talk and no actual legislation”. Applies to Trump better than Cruz. At least Cruz has fought the good fight like in Heller vs. DC. What was Trump doing? Crowing about how he hates the idea of guns or was it after he converted to being a 2nd amendment supporter? Who knows, it's hard to keep up with what he says he believes in.

Dang. At one time I thought he would make a great VP for Trump. I guess not. Saas has turned into another immature Senator. Sad. I used to like him. Oh well since he is so new to the Senate, he is obviously to Washington.

Trump 2016.

Trump should find some really embarrassing detail about him, something that wouldn't go over well in Nebraska, and tweet about it for a week.

Just as a warning shot for those pissants in Congress.

Aren’t sites like Red State great? It’s like stepping into a ring wearin milk bone underwear, filled with pit bull ads.
Reminds me, I’ve got to find some moolah for FR which remains ad and rat free.

Your right on this. THOSE are questions that SHOULD be debated. I WANT THE ANSWERS TOO..
DON’T CRUCIFY a citizen for being candid and questioning.. that is all in doing your homework.

Blindly following someone is not only dangerous it is downright stupid.

Excellent and fun article.

Lovin’ it. Sasse can out-tweet the Donald. And Sasse’s tweets make sense.

omg. Donald is going to be soooooo mad. Megyn may get a break for a few days while Donald figures out a way to insult Sasse.

AND I did not know about the sensitivity to the short fingers. Hahahah. Short fat fingers. Don’t let him operate on you.

That was a fun post. People here are steaming. Red State. Mean to Donald.

Should be killed.

Why am I laughing.

Oh, dream on, Bob.

Trump’s very own fat fingers are doing the tweeting.

Anyone can see that.

Oh, he will, baby. If he has to have every man on the ship looking for the key.

It will obsess him. You ain’t seen nothing yet.
