IIRC most people here wanted Sasse. Osborn was a dirty elected official after all and Sasse was an “outsider”.
Now, a lot of conservatives were very understandably turned off by Trump’s primary campaign, myself included. HE should reach out to them and show some of this purported leadership. Maybe he could explain to Sasse how he didn’t really mean any of that WWE style stuff he said about Cruz, he was just playing to the neuron-challenged electorate, that’s the deal right?
That said, a third party challenge does nothing but guarantee victory for Clinton, and anyone who works toward making that happen is being totally uncool. So far, it’s just talk.
I’m not gonna trash Sasse just yet. Let’s see what develops. Party unity isn’t a one way street, Trump needs to call on disaffected conservatives like Sasse and have some private conversations. It’s as much on him as it is on them.
I’ll be waiting a long time for Cruz to reach out to Trump supporters and apologize for calling us low info. Shots were fired both ways in the primaries yet for some reason Cruz supporters seem to have forgotten that. Trump owes nothing to anybody now. The primary is over now and the target is Hillary.
BTW, Sasse has been a preening never Trump dirt bag for months. He met in secret back in march with rich Democrats in an effort to influence the GOP primary. Do your homework before giving him a pass.
“Trump owes nothing to anybody now”
He owes it to all us to win the general election like he said he would. In my opinion that means doing his part to heal the rift. Cruz is no longer in the race.
