I guess its cool to bash Trump.
Romney up next. He loves to bash other Reps. like 4 years ago - but when he got in debate with Obama - he had nothing but nice things to say. Makes you wonder.

Here's another thing that puzzles me.

People like this Nebraska Senator who support the Tea Party agenda, will think nothing of endorsing a RINO who opposes the Tea Party that winds up winning the nomination. He would think nothing of unifying around McCain or Romney (men who would call the Tea Party a bunch of nut cases) for the "good of the party". Yet, he will NOT endorse a Trump who actually WILL promote MUCH of the Tea Party agenda, all because he is "rude", and instead will support a 3rd party candidate.

Pathetic.

If General Patton was alive today, I guess this same Senator would be calling him unfit to command because of his rough personality.

There is some left handed logic in the letter, but I still think it is better to give an unknown a chance than the known.
The Unknown is 'impeachable' the known is not.

I wait to see after Romney's 'Speech of the Ages' as is billed by some news media, if Trump's stock goes up. He did ask for Trumps support when he was running. Of course (honest qualifier) that did not mean he agreed with Trump.

If the 'planned' attacks by GOP leaders weren't so obvious, it may not look so bad. But this looks like an obvious desperate 'Last ditch KILL attack' it just might back fire.

I really don't see anything in the open letter that suggests Sasse's objections to Trump are about Trump being rude or coarse. Did you?
The main thrust of his objections seems to be that he feels Trump would take a very dim view of upholding the constitution and recognizing the balance of power between governmental branches.

Thanks for acknowledging that it's not just that Trump is coarse and vulgar that folks are opposed to him. Smile

I'm not answering for Sasse, but this is in the open letter that Sasse wrote, which indicates that Sasse doesn't believe Trump is even concerned about the integrity of the First Amendment:

Statements from Trump:
***“We’re going to open up libel laws and we’re going to have people sue you like you’ve never got sued before.”
***“When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. They were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak…”
***Putin, who has killed journalists and is pillaging Ukraine, is a great leader.
***The editor of National Review “should not be allowed on TV and the FCC should fine him.”
***On whether he will use executive orders to end-run Congress, as President Obama has illegally done: "I won't refuse it. I'm going to do a lot of things." “I mean, he’s led the way, to be honest with you.”
***“Sixty-eight percent would not leave under any circumstance. I think that means murder. It think it means anything.”
***On the internet: “I would certainly be open to closing areas” of it.
***His lawyers to people selling anti-Trump t-shirts: “Mr. Trump considers this to be a very serious matter and has authorized our legal team to take all necessary and appropriate actions to bring an immediate halt...”
***Similar threatening legal letters to competing campaigns running ads about his record.
