Freshman Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) says it’s time for Donald Trump to start talking policy or just drop out of the presidential race.

In a string of tweets Monday night after the Iowa caucus, Sasse said the real headline from Iowa was how poorly Trump performed despite polls heading into Iowa boasting he had a strong lead in the state.

This is not the first time Sasse has questioned Trump’s credentials. The Nebraska senator traveled to Iowa last week to encourage Iowans to cast ballots against Trump.
