Meet Nebraska’s Senator-Presumptive
Ben Sasse, a college president, a Tea Party darling, and a man who once proposed to move the nation’s capital to Omaha so as to avoid the socialism that the president had brought to Washington, won nearly 50 percent of the vote last night and is now a prohibitive favorite to become one of the only 100 U.S. senators that we have.
Sasse held off a late challenge by self-financed moneybot Sid Dinsdale to win easily. This has given the conservative whackazoid element within the Republican party something to crow about, and it is a further indication that Republican politics now will be conducted on the ground chosen by that element of the party. Either you are nurtured by it, like Sasse, or you conform to it, the way everyone in the crowded GOP primary field in Georgia has. There is no third alternative, nor any apparent desire for one. But watch the elite political media use this to further the empty “Republican civil war” narrative.
Anyway, here’s your nominee, and senator-presumptive.
He is a college president and he seems unable to distinguish between the Declaration Of Independence and the Constitution.
