Even if I disliked someone personally, that would not change my view or support towards policy that I agreed with. Ona substance basis, Trump governed like a republican dream president. Sasse seemed to disagree with him primarily on style.
Media was so desperate to show that there were some reasonable republicans who would choose country over party, that they clung to Sasse because he made mild criticisms of Trump. He backed that criticism up with absolutely no action whatsoever. >

Yep. A mealy-mouthed Republican barely offering criticism is propped up as heroic by the media. >

Any Republican senator serving in 2016 could have supported a hearing for Merrick Garland, and by doing so elevate country and Constitution above party.  Not one did.
Republicans like Sasse posture as reasonable, but their groveling nature is what made the GOP what it is >

Or at the very least, refuse to sit ACB on the SCOTUS until after the election was over. >

And now DeSantis is installing him as the head of UF.
And UF made it harder to protest because the students spoke out and embarrassed the Gov I guess. >

I don’t understand the voting critique. Most never Trump Republicans are quick to concede that he delivered a lot of the legislative wins they were hoping for. >

For all his quips and quibbles with the MAGA crowd, Ben Sasse voted in line with Trump’s positions 85 percent of the time—just a point or two behind reliable Trumpist lickspittles like Josh Hawley, Ron Johnson, and Lindsey Graham.
