Anti-Trump forces ponder options, including a Sasse bid

With Donald Trump now the presumptive Republican nominee, the various #NeverTrump forces are pondering everything Thursday from enlisting first-term Sen. Ben Sasse to avoiding the White House battle altogether.

Sasse, a Nebraska Republican, has emerged as a central figure in the movement. He wrote a Facebook post early Thursday arguing for an alternative candidate to Trump and Clinton, which had garnered more than 6,400 likes by late morning.

"Why shouldn't America draft an honest leader who will focus on 70% solutions for the next four years? You know ... an adult?" Sasse wrote.

These Utopian PURIST NEVERTRUMP people are like spoiled brats who, when they lose a game of touch, take their ball and run home to mommy. In this case, her name just happens to be HILLARY and she’s a real bitch. And if they think they will get some sympathy from her, as my late father often reminded us kids, if you’re looking for sympathy, it’s in the dictionary somewhere after s**t and sweat!

Even if you don’t like Trump or even hate him, even if you are not a fan of Alex Jones or hate HIM,  even if you are into the crazy NEVERTRUMP “thing” if you love America — the idea — and want it to be here for your kids and grand kids, PLEASE WATCH THIS INTERVIEW! The really important stuff starts around 2:27.

And please share it with any of the NEVERTRUMP people you know.  We’re in what could well be the LAST DITCH in the fight for this country!

Registered Republicans are not the majority in country. Divided, we anoint much more liberal Hillary to rule our lives and guaranteed she will nominate pro-abortion justices to SCOTUS. Trump needs voters from several groups to prevail in November election. There is at least a chance Trump will nominate more conservative justices than Cankles would. And Trump is also far likely to be better on issues such as illegals, unvetted Muslims, foreign trade deficits, ISIS, Wall, Taxes, Jobs, 2nd Amendment, unrestricted abortions, etc etc etc

I think they do want Hillary because it keeps their secrets safe and pocketbooks full.

A lot of GOPe types have this viewpoint. To them, it doesn't matter which party is in power, it matters that no one rocks the boat.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.... (those immortal words from Smokey and the Bandit).

“Anti-Trump forces”, my foot.

This is a clear case of POST-PARTUM BLUES.

This crowd of pouters can’t seem to grasp that this baby has burst forth, here. Let them internalize that. This baby is no longer cocooned in their over wrought belly, dependent on their will to be delivered.

And Ivy League A-hole who stabbed a Navy pilot in the back to get a seat. Got a public policy degree (apparently couldn’t get into law school)
So instantly that qualifies him to be an advisor for DHS.

Yeah, another perfumed prince. FU Sasse.

“Do they really want to get President Hillary Clinton?”

Yes, just as they have been perfectly fine with Obama these past 8 years.

I hope Trump keeps a list of these losers. I would like to see some retribution shortly after he takes office.

Ben Sasse: an establishment guy masquerading as a tea partier because that is a cheap and quick way to get a voting bloc (the scam is similar to people who break into music on the country charts and then "grow" into pop music)... and another product of the Glenn Beck Campaign Advocacy Company.

“Anti-Trump forces”=Hillary supporters. Trump has the nomination. Support him or admit you’re a RAT.
