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.

They are globalist Republicans who don't like America...They know a third party run will result in the most liberal Supreme Court in our history...They know that and that's what they are pushing...
Aren’t there enough republican voters in his state to disgrace this man? I mean really, this is outrageous.
Ben Nobody, savior of The GOPe and illegal immigration.
The only option is to coalesce around Trump. As distasteful as that may be to whomever.
Another first term senator, yeah, that’s the ticket.
Disgruntled Neo-Con Artists Party.
Sasse is a stealth commie from the Harvard cesspool.
More fools chomping at the bit to soil themselves in front of America.
These are the same folks who in 2008 and 2012 gave us weak candidates so O could win (how historic are we?)
These are the same folks who ignored the message of the voters in 2010 and 2014.
In congress they are spineless and ineffective.
The DC political class needs to be destroyed just as they destroy the voters hopes and dreams.
IF Sasse agrees to this then Nebraskans ought to toss his a$$ out
I think that's "Cool Hand Luke".

Sasse spent just 14 months in the private sector. He’s another who found shelter in academia, then government. Can’t make it without a check from the tax payers.
Yes, they really want Hillary. At this point, it’s their only choice. All those donors who are saying they won’t fund Trump are taking money from establishment coffers.
Trump doesn’t need their money but these other leeches do.
Yes, you are correct. dp0622 caught it. Thanks, Laz. I was able to correct at 43.
Sasse—the voters can Trump him with their vote next Tuesday in the Nebraska primary.

“What we have here is a failure to communicate.... (those immortal words from Smokey and the Bandit).”
Cool Hand Luke
Thanks, Signalman. I was corrected by dp0622 and followed up at 43.
Senator Sasse obviously doesn’t comprehend the situation the USA is in, and what’s behind it.
Much less what to do about it.
Non-starter Ben. Go back to the sports pages.
A very risky strategy.
A strategy that even if successful would give you a president with absolutely no mandate from the electorate and as a candidate he would have no coattails for the down ticket candidates.
Sorry but I have no use for a third party candidate. The history of third party candidates speaks for itself.
Third party candidates gave us Wilson and Clinton just to name two disasters.
Fonseca, spokeswoman for Conservatives Against Trump. Riiiiight, conservatives pining for Mitt and/or Jeb! Okie dokie.
“Fonseca, spokeswoman for Conservatives Against Trump. Riiiiight, conservatives pining for Mitt and/or Jeb! Okie dokie.”
They should change the name of their organization to “Conservatives for Hillary”
I believe it was both. But it was in “Cool Hand Luke” first. ‘Smoky and the Bandit’ was an Homage to Cool Hand Luke.
