Post-Trump Republicans are now officially, a thing.
In the span of five minutes Thursday, Ben Sasse may have torched whatever relationship he still had with the Republican Party in his home state.
But in releasing his direct-to-camera video deriding a brand of politics animated by “the weird worship of one dude,” Sasse also seized a piece of political real estate that might yet have some value if the Nebraska senator runs for president in 2024.
At the moment, those occupying the anti-Donald Trump lane in the post-Trump GOP are in danger of being run over. But in the event the party’s fervor for the former president fades to any degree, or there is a rethinking of Trump’s behavior in office, Sasse may be better positioned than anyone to capitalize...
Someone will need to rebuild the GOP from the smoldering heap of ashes after Trump.
Someone will need to steer the party out of the white nationalist cul-de-sac where they currently reside.
Why not Sasse?
Are you seeing any other Republicans vying for Post-Trump party leader?
Cheney, Romney? Others?
Here’s his video smackdown of the State Central Committee.
It’s ballsy stuff.
Kudos, Ben.
Quit playing to the crazies, GOP.
Many of them will still be in prison in 2024.
”the mob of fervent Maga acolytes who broke into the US Capitol following an incendiary rally headlined by Trump could face prison for up to 20 years.”
