Sen. Ben Sasse is heading to Iowa to campaign against Donald Trump over the next two days, with plans to appear at events for Senate colleagues Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, and "possibly other constitutional candidates," according to a statement from the Nebraska Republican's office.

"I am not endorsing any candidate-- I am urging conservatives to hold every candidate accountable to keeping their word so that we uphold the Constitution's system of checks and balances.

There is more to the article. But trying to keep things neutral here.
(I bet that was a rough name to grow up with)
A little bit on Sasse.

Ted Cruz endorses Ben Sasse - 2014
The Next Ted Cruz? - 2014

Ben Sasse is loaded for bear.

Ben Sasse turned RINO on us - he has no room to talk about conservative principles. Hypocrite.

[tennmountainman]

It says he will campaign for Cruz and Rubio.

How is that going to help either Cruz or Rubio?

[Sybeck1]

McConnell approved?

[CA Conservative]

Ben Sasse turned RINO on us...

So just to be clear, the new definition of RINO or GOPe means "anyone who does not support Trump".

[Slyfox]

wow. a rino you say. interesting.

See the whole article...

On Sunday night, Sasse tweeted five questions for Trump, ranging from the personal ("You brag abt many affairs w/ married women. Have you repented? To harmed children & spouses? Do you think it matters?") to the policy-based (Q2: You've said you "hate the concept of guns." Why the change? When did it happen? What's the 2nd Amendment mean to you?).

Trump's reply: {crickets}

"... constitutional candidates?"

A lame attempt to get people to subconsciously think that Cruz was born in the United States?

[Charles Henrickson]

"I'm pro-Constitution and if that makes me anti-Trump, that's Mr. Trump's problem."

I agree with Sen. Sasse.

[exit82]

Trump is pro- Second Amendment.

That is pro-Constitution.

Without the Second, you don’t have a Constitution.

[pburgh01]

Sen Sasse...who? Yea that will help.

[Charles Henrickson]

A conservative senator from eastern Nebraska will indeed help in Iowa.

[Linda Frances]

Ben Sasse is a great conservative. Up and comer. His daughter plays hockey out of Fremont. My grandson has played againt her. She’s pretty good.

Ummm, same guy who voted with Cruz for Corker, who vote with Cruz for TPP.

Who didn’t support Cruz’s filibuster.

Who didn’t come to Cruz’s “global warming” hearings with Marc Steyn.
