Being I am in Nebraska and Sasse and his office are minutes away. I feel I need to comment on this one (even tho I comment on many, lol). Sasse senses what I know. There is a war on rational logical thought. He is a man out of is time. The more urban area he is from cow tows to the rural areas of Nebraska. A vast expanse I had the pleasure of living in for work travel over the years. They are excellent kind hearted people. However, it is keenly attached to the evangelical church. So just look at the dynamics. If there is a liberal takeover of the university on the left. There has been an equally acute takeover of the church by the right. While the substance of his words are steeped in the spirit of Madison and Hamilton. It rings hollow with scores of constituency that have never read a word of such things. What they hear is that there is a war on big trucks and guns. While the local bowling alley has a softball poster on the wall. A mixture of girls with both Mexican and European descent. The local factory has Mexican workers that walk by the all white bar late afternoon. And neither side talks to the other. This is a bridge he can't divide because he does not come from poor meager stock in the city. He is not from urban ghetto and he is not from country hood. He is going to where he feels comfortable. Where the war on intelligence can be fought on a refined level. Where he can act like he is from boot strap beginnings and speak with high platitudes. Bow to Desantis? Shit, he waved the white flag to that actor long ago. Ben Sasse is just the Vanilla Ice of politics. And this coming from a man that likes and voted for Ben. You won't see me check mark the box for a single Republican this November now. Trumpism has officially cleaned house.
