Sen. Ben Sasse: I Will Never Ever Vote for Trump
Townhall.com ^ | February 29, 2016 | Christine Rousselle

Posted on 02/29/2016 10:07:16 AM PST by Kaslin

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) posted "An Open Letter to Trump Supporters" on his official Facebook page that outlined exactly why he will not be supporting Donald Trump this November if he were to be the nominee. He urged conservatives to find a third option to support if Trump were to land the party's nomination.

(Emphasis added)

My current answer for who I would support in a hypothetical matchup between Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton is: Neither of them. I sincerely hope we select one of the other GOP candidates, but if Donald Trump ends up as the GOP nominee, conservatives will need to find a third option.

Here's the full post

Sasse was also critical of Trump's use of the term "reign," explaining that Nebraskans are not asking for a person to run for king, but rather a Constitutional Republic. He also expressed concerns about Trump's statements about "open(ing) up libel laws" and censoring journalists who do not agree with him.

Obviously another ELITIST who doesn’t much care for the will of the average American!

Like my late WWII Navy veteran father would say, “God ruined a good pri*k when he put ears on that guy”.

Trump used the word “reign”. Yeah that’s a real good reason for a senator not to vote for his party’s presidential nominee.

Is this guy kidding?

How about this, Ben.

Outside of Trump, I will never vote GOP again.

We can all play this game.

65% of conservatives must support the same open borders policies of Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

Yup. And it may do him in. But it’s his choice.

Somehow, I think Trump will still carry Nebraska without his vote.

I just don’t understand people doing this.
A third option? There isn’t one in the general election.
Sure, you have a choice now and now is the time to exercise
it. Not voting is a vote for Hillary and we already know
what that will lead to.

Each time some barely-known RINO nitwit yammers this, President-elect Trump surges in the polls.
This is all hopefully playing well for my two favorite candidates in the race...Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.
