Republican Senator speaks the truth about Turnip

Post by TC Talks » Thu Oct 15, 2020 9:21 pm

It's too late, but some Republicans are starting to catch on that Trump is a pariah.
Senator Ben Sasse, Republican of Nebraska, castigated President Trump in a telephone town hall with constituents on Wednesday, accusing the president of bungling the response to the coronavirus pandemic, cozying up to dictators and white supremacists, and offending voters so broadly that he might cause a “Republican blood bath” in the Senate.

In a dire, nine-minute indictment of Mr. Trump’s foreign policy and what Mr. Sasse called his “deficient” values, the senator said the president had mistreated women and alienated important allies around the globe, been a profligate spender, ignored human rights and treated the pandemic like a “P.R. crisis.” He predicted that a loss by Mr. Trump on Election Day, less than three weeks away, “looks likely,” and said that Republicans would face steep repercussions for having backed him so staunchly over four tumultuous years.

“The debate is not going to be, ‘Ben Sasse, why were you so mean to Donald Trump?’” Mr. Sasse said, according to audio obtained by The Washington Examiner and authenticated by The New York Times. “It’s going to be, ‘What the heck were any of us thinking, that selling a TV-obsessed, narcissistic individual to the American people was a good idea?’

The rats are coming to the realization that the ship is sinking. Watch for more of them to jump ship.

Turnip??? Is Trump that hard to spell?

I don't dislike Sasse, but he's more of a maverick.

What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

Bloated Chris Christie admitted Trump has been too lax on masks as well in addition to apologize for not wearing a mask himself. What a goober.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

I kind of like that as a nickname for the guy. It was quite deliberate that I spelled it that way.

Kind of like how I'm fond of calling a certain politician Chris Crispy.

If I go the write-in route, Ben Sasse is one individual I've long considered.

I would be quite surprised if he does not run in 2024.

Sasse is a Never Trumper from day one, yet he votes with him most of the time.

As a Nebraskan, I'm sure he is familiar with the term "all hat and no cattle".
