printNebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse, whose avid supporter, Mark Levin, now says he’s a fraud*, is fond of preaching about conservatism.
And as a real conservative, Sasse would like nothing more than to dissolve the Republican base and elect another more compliant support base to better reflect his ideas. Of course, Sasse phrases his goals more diplomatically:
“The American people deserve better than two fundamentally dishonest New York liberals.” (Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.)
Today, Sasse was put on the spot by MSNBC’s Chuck Todd:
Let me ask you this. If you have — what is a political party? And I ask it this way. Is it a, is it a party who gets its principles and its ideals from its leaders, or is it ground up? What if this is the people speaking and the people are basically handing the nomination to Donald Trump? You may not like it, but is it then fundamentally that the Republican party is changing because the people that are members of it have changed?
Sasse, the power hungry fool, conceded that “a political party is a tool, not a religion,” but went on to dictate his terms of party conservatism to the base. “Find the right guy,” Sasse said to Republican voters. Trump’s not it.
Republican Party apparatchiks have always put Party over People and The People are ON TO THEM.
*Levin has a record of endorsements that don’t work out (because most Scarlet Letter E–for establishment–Republicans are frauds).
