In Senate debate, Ben Sasse ducks verbal jabs thrown at him by David Domina, independent candidates

Source: Omaha World Herald

By Roseann Moring

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. — Democrat David Domina didn’t wait long to take a swing against Republican Ben Sasse at the first debate in Nebraska’s race for U.S. Senate.

During the primary election earlier this year, Sasse defeated three other Republicans by touting his conservative credentials.

Monday night, Domina tried to portray Sasse’s positions as too extreme for Nebraskans and unlikely to help a gridlocked Congress.

“The aisle can’t even be found, much less crossed, with (his) approach,” Domina said.

6. More specifically, he’s got experience in Congress. Sasse served as chief of staff to Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) for six months in 2005, right after Fortenberry took office. From 1996 to 1998, he worked as a tutor for the House page program.
