Republican Sen. Ben Sasse excoriated President Trump in a telephone conference call with constituents this week, saying he had mishandled the coronavirus response, "kisses dictators' butts," "sells out our allies," spends "like a drunken sailor," mistreats women, and trash-talks evangelicals behind their backs.
Trump has "flirted with white supremacists," according to Sasse, and his family "treated the presidency like a business opportunity." He said Trump could drive the Senate into the hand of the Democrats and cause permanent damage to the Republican Party.

Possibly a 2024 republican presidential candidate...oh please we don’t need anymore fake republicans..he’s been around Romney toooo long...Sasse is very disrespectful to have this conference call this close to the election. Sasse needed Trump when was losing...then threw him away...

One of Dan Crenshaw's veteran buddies needs to step up and run against Sasse in the primaries.

Not sure, but I think that Moron is up for re-election. He must be sure he is going to lose! I can't imagine any voters in Nebraska who would be proud of that phone call! Shame should be washing over every person who voted him into office!l I know we need every single Senate Seat we can get, but Jeesh! Couldn't Nebraska come up with someone decent? Sasse doesn't belong in the Senate as a Republcian. He should have changed parties before running again. He is not a Republican!!

Sasse’s remarks are outrageous - Trump called for a lockdown because that’s what “expert” Fauci and scarf woman recommended - and the whole world was at a loss on how to deal with this unknown virus unleashed by China. Trump handled it like a business man: what’s needed? We’ve got no ventilators? OK, private industry kick in, kick in on treatments too, and vaccine, put on fast track...” There’s still controversy on masks - and yet people like Sasse want to blame Trump - that Sasse thinks he needs to blame Trump in order to keep his Senate seat is wrongheaded.

We don't need the so-called Republicans that still think they can win elections by being Democrat-lite candidates. Republicans don't want you, and Democrats will vote for Democrats. Stupid.

Sasse is a RINO no question about it. He is either really dumb or has been paid off.

Patriots never Kiss Sasse. Sasse is trying to out-McCain McCain and out-Romney Romney. He's a pathetic flake. A ca-sasse-trophy.

Not a good look when anyone in Congress blames a president for excessive spending.

It could be 'fake news', #1; then again, it wouldn't exactly be out of character for Ben Sasse to go RINO big-time like this. I like the idea in #5, though.

That Trump may "cause permanent damage to the Republican Party" is not necessarily a bad thing. If making life harder for RINOs is a result - I'm good with it. MAGA!!

Ben Sass is a creepy holier than thou self-serving politician. He intends to run for the presidency in 2024, either by seeking the Republican nomination for President, or be selected as Mittens Romney’s Vice-Presidential nominee if Romney wins the Republican nomination. But there is a big roadblock to those plans of both the anti-Trump Romney and Sass, as if President Trump and Vice-President Pence are re-elected it is a sure thing that Pence will be the front runner to win the 2024 Republican nomination, leaving both Romney and Sass out in the cold. After this episode by Sass trying to put Trump down right before the election becoming public and essentially hinting that he intends to vote for the Biden-Harris Democrat ticket, Sass essentially has shot himself in his political foot, as no Trump supporter is ever going to vote for Sass in the 2024 Republican primaries, and without those Republican votes it will be impossible for Sass to win those Republican primaries.

I think Senator Sasse should have retained his position at university. He is terrible at politics.

I wrote him a rather rude note yesterday. Don't think I will get a Christmas card from him. Perhaps if he got more comments from disgusted Republicans he might think twice the next time he opens his mouth trying to catch the lefties' attention. He really should be joining the Dems and take Romney with him!

Sasse and some other Never Trumpers are cynically willing to endure a Biden Presidency because they think he will not run again,leaving an open seat for them to fill. Sorry, Ben, you are toast on the national stage.

Why is it that Dems would defend an ax murderer, but Republicans can't decide which Party they belong to?
