Sen. Ben Sasse is looking for a D.C. insider that will keep the status quo. He needs that bribe money to keep pouring in.

He has a Dylan Roof bowl cut, as Trump would call, straight from central casting.

The GOPe is fine with Hillary.

The illusion of our two party fraud system has been exposed by Trump.

There is one party of elites who pretend to be on opposite sides. In fact, they are an evil cabal controlled by globalists bent on destroying national borders and America in the process.

Sasse, the father of three kids, indicated he's not interested in being that candidate himself, arguing for someone who can campaign around the clock through November.

Typical resume for the elite who make a living telling others what they need to do ...

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 graduated from St. John’s College in 1998 with a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies and from Yale University with a Master of Arts degree (M.A.), Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D), all from the Department of History, in 2004. 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]

Career and politics[edit] 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]

Midland University[edit] Sasse was announced as the 15th president of Midland University in October 2009. At the age of 37, he became one of the youngest chief executives in American higher education when he took over leadership of the 128-year-old institution in the spring of 2010. He was officially installed as President on December 10, 2010.[3] When Sasse announced his intention to run for U.S. Senate, he offered to resign his post at Midland. Instead, the Board asked him to stay at Midland under a partial leave of absence;[15] in October 2013, Sasse's employment contract was amended to reduce his presidential duties and salary.[16]

Sasse calling for an adult.

That is after laying on the ground and kicking and screaming like a spoiled child because he didn’t get his way.

Such a candidate would merely insure a Hillary victory - which I suspect is what Sasser really wants.

"Why shouldn't America draft an honest leader who will focus on 70% solutions for the next four years?

Republican voters did. The liberals, MSM, and Republican leadership just don't like it. Should tell us something about the elite running the country.

Sen Sasse’s definition of “adult”: willing to give in to liberals for the sake of comity.

Would Sasse have been happier with Bush or Lindsey Graham. I doubt he would have had this visceral reaction. Maybe it’s time to take a closer look at Ben.

Clinton has NO Conservatives on her side.

Grow up you pentulent little jackanaps Sasse. Your not acting on priciplas here, you are acting on petulance and ego

Principles Senator?

How about the principle that you don’t get to use the party to get elected then throw a hissy fit when they don’t nominate YOUR guy?

Resign today Senator. Resign from the party. run for your seat as an independent. THAT is principal. What your doing you spoiled little brat is petulance, not principal.
