(Sen) Sasse (R-NE): I encouraged Trump to pick someone other than Kavanaugh
The Hill ^ | October 3, 2018 | Jordain Carney

GOP Sen. Ben Sasse (Neb.) said Wednesday night that he urged President Trump to nominate someone other than Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court earlier this year.

"Although I've said many complimentary things about Judge Brett Kavanaugh and his distinguished record … I will say that I urged the president back in June and early July to make a different choice before he announced this nomination," Sasse said during an emotional speech from the Senate floor centering on sexual assault.

How is this in any possible way helpful?

Seriously, is this guy just politically stupid, or is he just plain stupid? It is so hard for me to grasp that he really doesn’t understand the political damage he does by handing Democrats — and the corrupt MSM — this gifted ammunition.

Ok. But Kavanaugh was nominated. It is what it is.
Give Kavanaugh a vote.

It doesn’t matter. They would have done the same thing to someone else

I wanted Trump to pick somebody more conservative and less bushy, but he picked Kavanaugh. As my dad used to say, “You dance with the girl you brung.”

Ben sASSe is a political opportunist, a climber. He’s an oily, self-promoting, narcissistic weasel, and has been so from the start. A total embarrassment for Nebraskans.

I am beginning to think we don’t have anyone that represents us anymore.

Thankfully, the list of senators to primary out of existence is shortening from where we were several years ago. As Ace noted the other day, Flake has totally destroyed whatever credibility Never Trump cucks had left. Kavanaugh left their reputation in tatters. There is zero reason to retain them any longer.

When people think or say that we need to give democrats something more acceptable to them then they are either a democrat sympathizer or they are numbskulled (both)

The next nominee should be and will be even more unacceptable to the democrats.

Jump in. It’s why Trump was hired/elected.

It’s quite likely that the exact same circus would have happened with even the same or similar players. The Dems would find somebody from the nominee’s high school and let the accusations begin!

The objective is to keep anyone from being confirmed before the midterms. Or, even until the next presidential election. Trump could have nominated the Returned Jesus and he’d have had the same experience Kavanaugh had.
