āIn early 2016, during both major partiesā presidential primary election seasons, Sasse announced that he would not support Republican front-runner Donald Trump should Trump become the partyās nominee; he was the first sitting senator to make such an announcement.[[46]]ā(Ben Sasse - Wikipedia) S
Sasseās comments about Trumpās performance were just confirmation bias. He had made up his opinion about Trump before Trump had been elected the first time.
The majority of voters made up their opinion about Trump before Trump had been elected the first time.
The news isnāt that Ben Sasse thinks Trump Is a historically bad president. Heās thought that all along, as has most of America. Itās that heās said it so forcefully <3 weeks from the election. Yes, heās going to keep his seat, but he still has to work with his party. Heās made that more difficult unless heās convinced Trump will lose.
To me, Republicans like Ben Sasseāwhatever heās saying and doing now, and whatever decorative protests heās made along the wayāare the worst. Theyāve known better all along and have enabled Trump at almost every key step in his presidency. And if Trump wins, heāll get back to it immediately.
When Ben Sasse tries to lower a lifeboat, the lifeboat should be set on fire immediately.
I hear what youāre saying. I was commenting more on the political calculus behind him excoriating Trump right now. Those were some blistering comments right before heās facing re-election in a deep red state. I think it says something about Republicanās confidence in Trumpās re-election chances.
Why? Trump has pontificated about the love letters heās exchanged with at least one dictator. Trump wouldnāt denounce a white supremacist group during the first debate.
I guess he should stand back and stand by to see whether it hurts him politically.
The proud boys are men of all races, united in stopping the blatant stupidity that is attempting to tear down the very fabric of our country. They are not promoting white supremacy. Thatās whatās being fed at the sheople troughs and what youāre now regurgibleeting but itās an MSM lie.
