What a good man. I have listened to him on another podcast.
It takes a dying ex-senator to speak out about congress being useless. That's when the media listens. Everyone else says this and then are surprised when the president consolidates (in reality is forced to use) the full executive power granted to him by the Constitution to govern. Because perish the thought Congress does anything except grandstand, virtue signal, and collect checks all year round.
Ben Sasse is more aligned with the Democratic mindset than Republican now. If one is any kind of visionary, then they are, or will be in direct conflict with the narrow minded, radicalized and severely compromised trump regime. He is a very decent man; he was someone who was willing to negotiate, in passing legislation. That ideology is severely lacking and missed. Take care, Senator.
