Discussion: GOP Sen. Ben Sasse Renounces Trump: If He Is Nom, I'll Vote For 3rd Candidate

If Trump becomes the Republican nominee my expectation is that Iā€™ll look for some 3rd candidate

That works too.

You know what Sasse? I thought maybe you were one of the principled onesā€¦right up until your gratuitous slam at the President ā€˜much like Obamaā€™ for ā€˜dividing our countryā€™. The GOP owns that little nugget. Donald Trump is the candidate you deserve after the fear, loathing and obstruction you have been participating in for the last 7+ years.

Why do people say stupid things like this? (I know, a dumb question by itself.) Itā€™s so meaningless and pathetic. Who the hell is going to grill this guy about his vote, which is no oneā€™s business? And of course, what difference does it really make since heā€™ll lie about it anyway?

Well, he does want to move the Nationā€™s capital to Nebraska[1], there is that. Owing no doubt to his love of the Cornstitution. Prepare to be amaized by this pillar of heartland hubris.

He wonā€™t. Just watch, after Trump wins the nomination, this guy will quietly slip right back into the fold and be yelling ā€œTrump! Trump! Trump!ā€ with rest of them in Cleveland.

"Much like President Obama, he displays essentially no understanding of the fact that, in the American system, we have a constitutional system of checks and balances, with three separate but co-equal branches of government. And the task of public officials is to be public ā€˜servants.ā€™ā€

Obama Derangement Syndrome. These assholes canā€™t seem to help themselves ā€“ they take every opportunity to throw their poop. They aim for President Obama, but end up slathering themselves with it. Really sad.

Mr. Sasse, we have your ā€œConstitutionalistā€ right here. http://joestetson79.blogspot.com/

Sasse also posted an open letter on Facebook decrying Trumpā€™s campaign message and strategy and calling on conservatives to find ā€œa third optionā€ if Trump is the nominee.

Paul Ryan isnā€™t runningā€¦

ā€œMr. Trumpā€™s relentless focus is on dividing Americans, and on tearing down rather than building back up this glorious nation,ā€

"Much like President Obama, he displays essentially no understanding of the fact that, in the American system, we have a constitutional system of checks and balances, with three separate but co-equal branches of government. And the task of public officials is to be public ā€˜servants.ā€™ā€

So when is the judiciary hearing?

By the way, when did Obama become a Republican?, I must have missed thatā€¦

Itā€™s an ODS tick. They have trained themselves to attach certain words and labels to things they donā€™t like without thought.
