Sasse is all contradictions: His tweets are out of sync with how he actually behaves, and how he actually behaves is out of sync with how he claims to see the world in his book and his speeches. Sasse isn’t living up to his own ideals, online or in the Capitol. He markets himself as an independent Republican whose moral compass doesn’t waver according to the commander in chief’s whims, and he’s happy to snipe at the president. Yet, he’s less happy to vote against him when it matters.
.. Sasse may not be as tainted by Trumpism as most other Republicans, but so far he has failed to back up his rhetoric with something more substantive than words, words, words. Instead, he’s trolling people on the Internet.
