Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) claimed in a speech on Thursday that “the right wants a strongman daddy figure” in describing his political party while asserting that Democrats want “a powerful, nameless but supposedly benevolent bureaucracy.”
“In the 2016 presidential campaign, you had two candidates with wildly different solution sets, but their fundamental diagnosis was really the same. The system’s rigged, you’re getting screwed, you’re a victim, the country is going down the tubes, you’re victims,” Sasse said while giving remarks at “A Time for Choosing Speaker Series” event by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute.
“The left wants a powerful, nameless but supposedly benevolent bureaucracy. The right wants a strongman daddy figure, but the loudest of them all agree on one thing: America, the one the founders gave us, the one kept for us by our parents and grandparents, it doesn’t work anymore,” he continued. “They can’t work anymore. These are not the good faith positions of two big healthy political parties that are just competing about different visions of leadership.”
The Nebraska Republican also claimed it was “full of crap” for both political parties to villainize the other in what have become an increasingly partisan climate, especially in light of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, in which a mob of pro-Trump supporters tried to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election.

While an adult speaking like that doesn't necessarily prove someone is a pedo that is the language a pedo might use.
Senator Hubris will be running for President. Just watch.
As opposed to what, a brain-addled retard grifter?
This is your public servant.
The sad part is Sasse looked to be the best choice when he ran in the primary for his first term.
The "two" parties are becoming less and less relevant for the second group mentioned in the previous sentence.
Sooner or later, Senator, folks like you will have decide to which group you belong.
What a clueless ass.
What most of us want is good public SERVANTS in office, who serve for a relatively short and finite period, remember that they are the hired help, revere the Constitution and the privilege of serving the American people, and just do the basic business of government - without expanding the role of government or getting in our way as we make our individual contributions to the world and forge our own pathways.
All public office holders are replaceable and none are essential. Keep that in mind little Ben.
Bent sAsse is apparently confusing his own sexual fantasies for a strong daddy figure, for what actual conservatives want.
I want someone who will stand strong against the foreign interests busy arraying themselves against us.
I don’t see Biden doing anything to protect us on the international front, much less at home. All he does is blame others for the at-home problems, and appease foreign enemies.
(Sometimes, I think the Left’s strategy is to keep us so preoccupied with our domestic divisions that we pay no attention to other things.)
I know, right?
Just because that twit wants a mommy government, doesn’t mean his opposition wants a daddy government.
I want a lot LESS government in my life, in my business, and in my face.
I just want the government to keep the promises made in the original Constitution and the Bill of Rights and then just get out of the way.
The Right wants real men who can do real work, not gender confused mentally-ill people and certainly no one from a matriarchal (failed) society.
What is wrong with the stupid party? Answer: always trying to appease the media and the rats, in addition to being f’ing wimps.

Pusillanimous bunch of punks are a disgrace in the eyes of every American patriot!
Oh look! Another “Chamber of Commerce” Republican lamenting the fact that elitists aren’t freely allowed to screw over honest, law-abiding citizens.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Well and truly said and every word of it!
it’s looking for its dingleberry
if that were so Ben, that sure as heck wouldn’t be you you rino- We want republicans with backbones who will stand up for our constitutional and inalienable rights- but apparently you think tat is too much to ask-
We wanted Palin too, and she was anything but a daddy figure. Sasse doesn’t realize that we just want people who aren’t candy asses.
Ben has difficulty understanding what a leader is. What a stupid thing to say.
Ivy league wannabe President Sasse, who often spoke veiled rants against Trump, wants everyone to see him as Presidential Material and believes that he is.
