Ah, don’t beat yourself up. Sometimes we see stars, and too often they turn out to be duds. In the case of Sasse, I preferred Don Stenberg for the Senate seat (though he had a terrible run of luck for the Senate, losing 4 times, despite winning statewide offices handily, and is presently State Treasurer). Too bad President Trump can’t appoint Sasse as Ambassador to Mozambique and Gov. Ricketts can appoint Treasurer Stenberg to the Senate vacancy.
Sasse has an unblemished voting record AFAIK but it’s like he thinks he’s Mr. Smith goes to Washington or something with this hokey temple of democracy BS talk. He should STFU and stop giving rhetorical aid to the criminal enemy democrats. I was skeptical of him for having no background in office.
I don’t think it’s warranted to have the long knifes out just yet but we should watch this guy for signs of Lineseed Graham Dutch Elm disease.
Stenberg has lost enough Senate races, he came in third in 2012 primary (and didn’t run in 2014, Sasse beat Banker Sid Dinsdale and State Treasurer Shane Osborn), lost to now Governor Ricketts in the 2006 primary and lost to a democrat in the 2000 general election (a democrat who’s ass was kicked by Chuck Hagel in 1996).
That’s not bad luck, it’s bad campaigning.
