Nebraska GOP Convention Humiliates Ben Sasse with Crushing 400 to 8 Reprimand
Breitbart ^ | May 15, 2016 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 05/15/2016 6:53:13 PM PDT by monkapotamus

It was a huge hometown comeuppance for the young Nebraska senator who easily won his first political race in 2014.

Though the former official in the George W. Bush Department of Health and Human Services has been popular in his home state until Saturday, the utter rejection of the “Never Trump” efforts he has championed is sure to hurt his credibility with GOP voters in Nebraska.

His strongly conservative voting record on all matters except trade, where Trump is strongest, kept people from even speculating about a primary challenge when he runs for re-election in 2020. But now — with his “Never Trump” effort becoming a hugely unpopular misstep back home — that clear path to renomination may be in question...

Uniparty is feeling the wrath of the citizens it despises.

I’m kind of in the eye of the storm in Omaha, in an (India) Indian managed contract house to a major US employer. They, like any other business, hope to promote their own, and would find a friend in Sasse. I’m not Indian, I’m paleface. If business trends encouraged more American labor content I’d win; some of my H1B colleagues might be in danger.

Trump's authenticity is causing (most) people to start behaving the way rational people behave, now even including state legislatures. It's like the time of being locked in a fun house / house of mirrors is coming to an end (maybe - I'm not counting any chickens) ... or beginning to wake from a bad dream.

This is what should happen in a rational country, doesn't require one to be on the left or right. This is just ... rational behavior on the part of elected officials ... rather than a confusing set of hidden lies and agendas.

How weird it seems, that what should happen, happens.

Sasse must be mentally ill. Or a substance abuser. Nothing else could explain his position in this mess.

Sasse can't accomplish much conservative good in the Senate, so he tries to do in Trump so Hillary can do everything she wants?

FUBS!

He wins his first political race in 2014 and has the whacky thought that he could run against Trump and Hitlery?!

It sounds like he got a little too big for his britches, and was talked into it by someone more devious - Romney.

This could be the beginning of the end of his “service”.

All of the “establishment” types are in this position now.

The whole world they lived in - where they pushed Liberalism-Lite, with the Deer in the Headlights Look - is caving on them.

They thought it was a big win. “Vote for me, I won’t condemn you as much as the Rat candidate”.

All of a sudden the peasants have had enough of being spit on by people who supposedly work for them.

And the cut down artists doing the spitting are shocked to find the peasants don’t fall for the scam anymore.

Will they leave office? Or just declare themselves the permanent overclass?

The Whole World Is Watching.

He thought he was the next Rubio or Obama. Spend as little time in the senate and look like you are going somewhere. Dont actually pay your dues, just go straight to the White House.
