He is soooo troubled these days.
Hm. You know, that thought has occurred to others, too. Odd that it's just occurring to you three weeks before the elections, Mr. Sasse.
Why, yes he did. That he did. For...uh...many, many months, now, actually.
...the same way he "flirted" with Jean Carroll in that Bergdorf Goodman dressing room 30 years ago.
In other words, he was just fine with Trump (in fact is still just fine with Trump) despite all that, but the one thing he cannot abide is losing Senate majority power in 18 days, so don't blame me, Nebraskans.
:barf:
“The debate is not going to be, ‘Ben Sasse, why were you so mean to Donald Trump?’” Mr. Sasse said, according to audio obtained by The Washington Examiner and authenticated by The New York Times. “It’s going to be, ‘What the heck were any of us thinking, that selling a TV-obsessed, narcissistic individual to the American people was a good idea?’”
Hm. You know, that thought has occurred to others, too. Odd that it's just occurring to you three weeks before the elections, Mr. Sasse.
He argued that Mr. Trump had “careened from curb to curb” as he sought to respond to a pandemic that has claimed more than 217,000 American lives this year.
“He refused to treat it seriously,” Mr. Sasse said. “For months, he treated it like a news-cycle-by-news-cycle P.R. crisis.”
Why, yes he did. That he did. For...uh...many, many months, now, actually.
“The way he kisses dictators’ butts,” Mr. Sasse said...He continued: “The United States now regularly sells out our allies under his leadership, the way he treats women, spends like a drunken sailor.”
Mr. Trump “mocks evangelicals behind closed doors,” he added. “His family has treated the presidency like a business opportunity. He’s flirted with white supremacists.”
...the same way he "flirted" with Jean Carroll in that Bergdorf Goodman dressing room 30 years ago.
...“I’m now looking at the possibility of a Republican blood bath in the Senate, and that’s why I’ve never been on the Trump train,” he said.
In other words, he was just fine with Trump (in fact is still just fine with Trump) despite all that, but the one thing he cannot abide is losing Senate majority power in 18 days, so don't blame me, Nebraskans.
