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

Posted on 10/04/2018 8:08:31 AM PDT by C19fan

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.

Sasse is an undermining, presumably CIA-linked somehow, Never Trumper snot.

Did Trump ask for his opinion or recommendation? Do we care what Sasse thinks? I don’t.

I’m convinced Mitch is sticking with the timeline on a vote.

Win or lose, it’s a win for us. If they vote him down we pick up Senate seats in WV and ND. Trump goes out on the road and beats Democrats to a bloody pulp.

In the end I think Senators who like that luxury lifestyle will chicken-out on threats to vote no.

This guy is a Sassepool of libtardism and plain ol’ cowardice. We need him like we need a second anal opening.

Sen. Sasse is quite the comedian. Anyone picked by Trump would be subject to wild accusations.

Pick a man? He abuses women. He’s a drunk. He’s a liar. Maybe throw in racist for good measure.

Pick a woman? She ignores the abuse of women. She’s a drunk. She’s a liar. Maybe throw in racist for good measure.

We recommend to Nebraska conservative voters to select a better senator than this jerkwad.

The reason trump went with Kavanaugh was because Amy Barrett has said she is pro life and SwineSlime excoriated her for her Catholicism saying “the dogma is deep”

Trump thought this would be an easier appointment to get through

We might be in agreement in a few years. There'a about a 50-50 chance he will be another Kennedy (you know, the one he clerked for). We certainly have had our share of disappointing SCOTUS picks, and other GOP squishes that we once fervently supported. Jeff Sessions comes quickly to mind.

And for those fools who say that Kav will be solidly against the Left after this episode: any judge who will color his decisions base on the political leanings of the parties involved... that is just another bad Justice, the same as RBG and Sotomayor and Kagan. Why we would ever celebrate that is beyond me.

I saw she and Schumer speaking.

They will not let it go.

I recall he was a neverTrumper and seriously unlikeable in general from the getgo.

But he expected Trump to listen to his admonitions, which are either appeasement to pink hatted women ( blech ) or - something-motivated.

And now self-righteous. What a shock. /s

Ask Denny Hastert - whom Ben sASSe ran cover for while head of the Congressional Page Program. Hastert was raping young male pages, and sASSe turned a blind eye to it all.

I like Ben Sasse but don’t see how this helps.

I encourage Nebraska voters to pick someone else other than this Sasse-hole...

I watched this guy give left handed compliments to Kavanaugh at the hearing, He speechifies like he thinks he’s a 2020 or 2024 contender.

He isn’t and never will be. Possibly light in the loafers if you ask me. Definitely wastes himself in the mirror a handed times/day.

Imagine for a moment that he was correct... What more would they have done to a fervently and openly pro-life female Justice?

Watching the Left overreach more and more over the next decade or so will be fascinating... and also frightening. They can do no other... and our children and grandchildren will be the ones dealing with the aftermath.

the dems would have made up a reason to try to destroy anyone trump nominated—White guy, black guy, woman, doesn’t matter.

Sasse needs to be primaried big time-—HE will be a problem in the future, if he isn’t already!

This guy really has his head up his butt. Who the hell does he think will vote for him over Trump in a presidential primary? What a Sassehole!
