Wow, Ben Sasse has always been fairly outspoken.

It seems more and more that Republicans are walking away from Trump because Trump's behavior is increasingly strange.

I don't know if I agree with him on those two issues. But as a US Senator he likely knows alot more about the true Trump based on how filtered information is when the general public knows what is going on politically.

I thought Trump did a decent job the first 2 years but he has had the worst COVID response in the world.

Bidens senate colleague and friend was the Grand Wizard off the KKK, he spoke at his funeral 10 years ago.

You'll hear more of this after Trump loses, but very few, if any, Republicans had the spine to say this a year ago, or two years ago, when all of this was more than obvious, at least those not already leaving office.

Default Ben Sasse, A True Republican

Senator Ben Sasse is the type of Republican that would bring me back into the GOP in a heartbeat! He speaks of the party's former fiscally conservative foundations and calls out Trump for what he truly is in the following article:

But he is a coward enabling Trump. He should come out publicly, forcefully and he hasn't. There is a need for a conservative party of principles, Trump's GOP isn't it.

IMO there is a dire need for a third party that destroys the D and R parties. This binary 'us or them' nonsense has to stop or it will very likely stop the country at some point.


Hopefully Sasse and others will plant seeds that start that happening.

I would hope that there would be a new party which is fiscally conservative and which embraces the diversity of this nation.

I've never joined a political party in my life but give me fiscally conservative, socially liberal, and non-interventionist and I'm there.

And as a side note, kudos to Chris Christie for being man enough to publicly state "I was wrong" about his previous thoughts on Covid.

This is exactly what we need. Unfortunately it seems the parties are doing the opposite.
