Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., ripped President Trump in a phone call with constituents, saying the commander-in-chief "kisses dictators' butts," "sells out our allies," mistreats women and "spends like a drunken sailor."
“What the heck were any of us thinking that selling a TV-obsessed narcissistic individual to the American people was a good idea? It is not a good idea," Sasse said in a recent telephone town hall with his constituents. "I think we are staring down the barrel of a blue tsunami and we’ve got to hold the Senate and that’s what I’m focused on.”
Sasse's nine-minute diatribe against Trump was first reported by the Washington Examiner, which obtained an audio recording of the town hall. Sasse was responding to a question from a constituent about the senator's relationship with Trump who asked: "Why do you have to criticize him so much?”
Sasse said he's found common ground with Trump on certain things, such as nominating conservative judges to the courts, but then he laid out a long list of faults and said it was important to "level" with Nebraskans.
Trump "mocks evangelicals behind closed doors," mistreats women and "flirted with white supremacists," Sasse said.
Trump mishandled the coronavirus pandemic, botched foreign policy and sought to profit off the presidency, the senator continued.

Unfortunately, with the narrow margins in the Senate, that is not a wise strategy. We are forced to elect the electable, in some states until a viable conservative hits the scene. RINO’s are a necessity in areas where democrats have an advantage, and some are just born with a week spine, get elected, and take the RINO road. Like it or not. Shooting ourselves in the foot when one is tired of the fight, is also bad strategy.
How’s the weather there, still flooding and imperiling the Three Gorges Dam?
Now that’s funny.
Sasse is a former college president and got the job at a young age. College presidents are in the habit of making hollow, moralistic statements, and assuming that somebody is listening to them.
Also, he seems like the guy who did all of the conservative movement seminars, internships, and cruises, and is now appalled that someone like him isn’t in power.
Having degrees from both Harvard and Yale doesn’t help either.
I believe Sasse spent most of his career in the swamp. He took the college job back home as a springboard to running for political office.
The GOP is perfectly content to be the minority party while the Democrats do the heavy lifting installing a European style social welfare state. The farther left the Dems the go the farther left the GOP can go and still be to the right of them. Sasse is leading that parade.
I have no patience with people who hate Trump, more than they love America.
They are incapable of seeing the reality of our current situation.
Pray.
