Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) has never been a fan of Donald Trump.
And after a hot mic video of Trump making lewd comments about women surfaced Friday, Sasse is urging Trump to step aside as the Republican Party’s nominee and let his Vice Presidential pick Mike Pence attempt to salvage the election.
In a tweet Saturday, Sasse asked Trump to honorably exit the race.
Character matters.@realDonaldTrump is obviously not going to win.
But he can still make an honorable move:
Step aside & let Mike Pence try.

Sasse has made his outspoken crusade against Donald Trump’s campaign a cornerstone of his time in the Senate so far. Sasse has even faced ire back home from fellow Republicans who wonder why Sasse has spent so much time railing against his party’s nominee. But, Sasse has been one of the most consistent members in voicing his concerns. When Sasse announced he wasn’t going to go to the Republican convention, his spokesman said in a release that Sasse was going to be spending the month driving around the state showing his children dumpster fires instead.
It will be news when pol who previously supported Trump calls on him to drop out. This doesn’t have any weight.
"Donald Trump released a late night video that was a hollow insincere apology that turned into a sleazy attack on Bill and Hillary Clinton that just burned the Republican Party to the ground. "
After this how many repubs will be in line this morning buying new TVs for I know bricks and what ever was handy went through many screens last night,GOOD .

"
nonpology
An insincere apology or expression of regret, often blaming the
aggrieved party for being offended or bringing up an irrelevant topic to
distract.
“Did you hear Don Imus’ nonpology the other day? Like his racist remarks are actually the result of rap music.”
“I really get tired of politicians’ nonpologies. All they’re really saying is they’re sorry they got caught.”

yeah yeah…
Mike Pence… that’s the ticket…
replace one loud mouth misogynist with one that’s just quiet in his disrespect for women…
It doesn’t matter. The only thing that Donald Trump could possibly do is sign a binding contract to step down should he win the election and make Pence the President. It is already too late to remove him from all but a small fraction of the ballots. Add to that, according to an election lawyer back during the Convention, most states have laws which prevent the electors from voting for someone who is not on the ballot. A write-in campaign is unlikely to succeed because most states just throw those out as a matter of course, and that is only if they have the mechanisms for write-ins. Not all states or districts do Oh, and putting a sticker on your ballot could invalidate the results if it is noticed, and would still be considered a vote for Trump anyway.
In other words, Republicans, you’re screwed.
Dear Trump Supporters,
Please stand up for your candidate. Don’t let the GOP establishment steal the nomination from the illustrious Mr. Trump.
Every day he states exactly what you, his supporters, strongly believe in.
Sincerely yours,
HRC
