I remember grassroots conservatives celebrating when he was elected two years ago because it meant adding another Republican to the Senate who takes his principles seriously. Now here’s Sasse last night reiterating that he takes his principles seriously enough not to vote for a big-government liberal just because he’s the party’s nominee and he’ll be excoriated for it.
Oh well. The principled choice is rarely the popular one.

So he’s not going to vote for the “ big government liberal” but he’s going to vote for Hillary
Cheap Labor Express stooge
Apparently he can’t read at a first grade level either. There’s a lot of ignorant douchebags floating around lately.
I am on board for Trump now that he has it in sewn up. However, if Sasse is willing to upfront about Trump’s unacceptability, we can just accept it without wasting a lot of time over it. Trump can use a few Krauthammers and Sasses to confirm that he remains non-Establishement.

About Ben Sasse:
Sasse graduated from Harvard University in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in government. He also studied at the University of Oxford during the fall of 1992 on a junior year abroad program.[6]

Sasse’s dissertation, The Anti-Madalyn Majority: Secular Left, Religious Right, and the Rise of Reagan’s America won the Theron Rockwell Field (best dissertation) and the George Washington Egleston (history) Prizes.[6][7]
From September 1994 to November 1995, Sasse worked as an associate consultant at the management consulting firm, Boston Consulting Group. For the next year, Sasse served as consultant/executive director for the Christians United For Reformation (CURE).[6] During Sasse’s tenure, CURE merged with the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals (ACE), and Sasse became executive director of ACE in Anaheim, California.[6][8]
From January 2004 to January 2005, Sasse served as chief of staff for the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Legal Policy in Washington, D.C. and as a part-time assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin by commuting to Austin to teach. Sasse left the Department of Justice in 2005 to serve as chief of staff to Representative Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) from January 2005 to July 2005.[6]
Sasse then advised the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in Washington, DC, on national security issues from July 2005 to September 2005 as a consultant. Sasse moved to Austin, Texas, to resume his professorship full-time from September 2005 to December 2006.[6]
From December 2006 to December 2007, Sasse served as counselor to the secretary at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in Washington, DC, where he advised the Secretary on a broad spectrum of health policy issues, from affordable healthcare access to food safety and security.
In July 2007, Sasse was nominated by President George W. Bush to the post of Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.[9][10] His appointment was confirmed by the Senate in December 2007[11] and served until the end of the Bush Administration in January 2009. During his tenure at HHS, Sasse took unpaid leave from the University of Texas.[6]
During 2009, Sasse was advising private equity clients and health care investors and teaching at the University of Texas.[12][13] In October 2009, Sasse officially joined the University of Texas LBJ School of Public Affairs’ Center for Politics and Governance as a fellow, before being appointed president of Midland University.[14]

Yet ANOTHER RINO/GOP-e “Ivy League””Educated BUSH Luving PRICK! And the STUPID Nebraskans Fell for and Voted this POS in!
Where were all these folks when McCain and Romney running?
Some of my old friends in Connecticut HATE-HATE-HATE Trump, but will still vote for him because they HATE-HATE-HATE-HATE Hillary Rodham Clinton more, and because they love this country. They are more astounded than anything that it has come to this. No one has to like Trump, they just have to accept him as better than Hillary Rodham Clinton more. He’ll have four years to outperform expectations.
he sure puts the ass in Sasse
This just in: Ivy league attention whore clawing and fighting for attention.
I despise these types.
They won’t back him for nominee. Fine.
Will they vote for him in the election though?
Let’s see.. Here is what I have heard on FR:
Trump is a bully, so I am voting for a communist
Trump hasn’t promised to outlaw abortion, so I am voting for a communist
Trump is rich, so I am voting for a Communist
Trump has funny hair, so I am voting for a communist
Trump has several bankruptcies, so I am voting for a communist
Trump isn’t mentioning Jesus in every press meet, so I am voting for a communist
Hmmm.. a pattern emerges.. These people are just going to vote for a communist!
Grow up, Sasse.
