That is itself very troubling.

(40,203 posts)4. Ben Sasse has a situational moral compass that
reverts back to pointing to R as soon as a vote is needed.
He went over to Dr. Blasey-Ford during her hearing and shook her hand and appeared very troubled by her story. Then he voted to confirm Kavanaugh.
He is Susan Collins in a suit.

(45,806 posts)5. Sasse gives me a very small glimmer of hope that the Pubs may have accidently missed a few
of their own who still have bit of honor & justice in their souls. Whether there's enough left in the Senate to achieve 67 is questionable.

He has more to lose than the Grassleys, Cornyns and Grahams.

He makes these statements in public, then votes with Trump. One can hope that this time is different, though I'm not holding my breath.

Meh!

(14,958 posts)7. I think he's trying to protect GOPers here. He's probably very concerned that when the public
knows what the whistle-blower knows, the wind will blow the other way (away from Trump), even in red states and GOP primaries.
