For a one-time “Never Trumper,” Sen. Ben Sasse scored a rather dubious distinction this week with full-throated support from the president via the electric Twitter machine, giving him Trump’s “Complete and Total Endorsement!”
This raised some eyebrows, as was noted in the Lincoln Journal Star.
“The newest Trump tweet sparked a reminder of his first reference to Sasse on Twitter on Jan. 29, 2016, at a time when Sasse was opposing Trump’s campaign to win the Republican presidential nomination.
“@BenSasse looks more like a gym rat than a U.S. Senator. How the hell did he ever get elected?” Trump tweeted at the time.
It’s difficult to gauge what changed Trump’s vacuous mind, but as was noted on MSNBC, 26 out of 53 Republican senators have visited Trump’s hotel in D.C, since he took office.
Well lookie there! Ben is on the list!

Meanwhile, “thanks” not only to Trump, but to Sasse and Sen. Deb Fischer and the rest for supporting the GOP Tax Scam that has ballooned the federal deficit to $1 TRILLION — and the year’s not yet over.
Salaku tambahan, The New York Times reported that the number of Americans with health insurance declined in 2018 for the first time in nine years — largely because of efforts by the Sasse-Fischer-Trump Triumvirate and their GOP cohorts to weaken the Affordable Care Act.
Shameful and reckless.
