And I wonder how much the uni got for hiring this guy.

And from whom...

[Lower Deck]

Why would anyone want to be a senator?

[TBP]

That’s true, but he actually had a decent voting record, and if Ricketts chooses a McConnell type (or worse, a Romney type) Republican, it actually sets us back.

I had that same reaction at first, as well.

Then I looked at his record at Midland University, and I must say, he’s probably about as “conservative” as you’re going to get for a University President, outside of maybe Liberty University.

And he’s out of Washington DC. So I think UF did us a solid.

[dfwgator]

And it could be worse, it could have been Donna Shalala.

I always gave my friends from Miami hell for that one.

This will make the liberals heads explode in Gainesville, from Sasse’s tenure at Midland University:

“In 2012, it added varsity men’s and women’s shotgun sports.”

[Dr. Franklin]

Someone must have something on Sasse. I’d like to think Trump is playing hardball behind the scenes.

Trump is controlling fund raising in the GOP. Sasse was limited to what he could get from lobbyists, and other RINOs. Those lobbyists know that he is damaged goods now, and not likely to be reelected. Thus he is a bad investment. I am curious if DeSantis played a role in bringing him to Florida.

All the UF Presidents I can remember were academics, in the recent past they got rid of the “gator bait” cheer, tried to get rid of calling the UF/UGA game the world’s largest outdoor cocktail party, cracked down on on campus tailgating l, so why not let a politician have a shot at it, so long as they don’t meddle with the athletic department I’m good

[dfwgator]

Sasse was in Academia before becoming a Senator.

[dfwgator]

And like I said, I’m on board with Sasse now, better Gainesville than Washington DC. I think he’s going to make a lot of liberals’ heads explode there, and frankly there his opinions on Trump won’t really matter anyway.

[NEMDF]

Well I am maybe a “less knowledgeable” FReeper from NE. And you might be right about several of your suggestions. But The other things is, Sasse would be happy to leave the U.S. Senate, if it meant a bit of a raise for him, IMO. He is just that slimy. He knows he has no future in politics, and I think he is just looking out for himself, and the chance to get a bit more income. I truly don’t believe he fancies himself as trying to position himself to take on RDS. Just my thoughts.
