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.

I dislike Trump, who I consider a crass jacka—. This proposal however, is asinine. Trump, for all his manifest flaws, is head and shoulders better than either Clinton or Sanders. Sasse didn’t run when he could have, it is too late now.

The GOP went through this with Taft vs. T.R. Roosevelt 104 years ago. The only winner was the execrable Wilson, who was an authoritarian bigot.

Because I cannot be a party to putting another Socialist into the White House, I will vote Trump this November. I may have to smear my nose with Vaporub and pinch it with a clothespin to do so, but I will.

One thing Trump did was rip back the curtain and exposed all of the fraudulent “conservatives”. Now it is without doubt that rinos exist I don’t care what Huckabee says.

There is no movement. Just a few sour grapes whiners.

I’ve always thought there is a chance Obama will declare martial aw thus preventing the election so he can stay in power. Now with the possibility of Trump taking over the presidency the odds have increased substantially.

I think Smokey and the Bandit was this quote:

“What we have here is a complete lack of respect for the law”

This is really an outrageous betrayal. Sasse is a traitor, a tool and a kook combined. This is ALL about the money behind illegal immigration.

This man is a disgrace. He is absolutely lying about his reasons for this.

Priebus and the Senate leaders should strip him of everything.

A CLinton wins mean there will be no change, no upsetting
the apple cart. That may be good for the elite, but it is not good for the country. The country has been heading in the wrong direction for a long time. Continuing in that direction would be a disaster. Is that what they want? Any Republican who supports such an effort needs to have his/her career marked for extinction.

With little name recognition he doesn’t have a chance.

He doesn't need a "chance." He just has to keep Trump from getting 270 Electoral College votes. If he could force the election into the House, the Paul Ryan led Republicans would choose him over Trump to become the next President.

It's the Cruz strategy, taken to the next level.

You know ... an adult?” Sasse wrote.


So, this “adult” wants to buck the will of the voters and appoint someone who is more to his liking.

If Sasse wanted to be an adult (really a MAN), he should have ventured into the arena and competed.

Guess we didn’t realize Sasse is a world class scum bag, not just a Mid West scum bag.

Who the F is this man from nowhere to thwart the entire party and will of the voters? This is a special class of evil.
