R Sen. Sasse compares Trump to Dumpster Fire. Dumpster wins. Sen. Flake will mow lawn.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ben-sasse-donald-trump-dumpster-fire_us_577e8f5ce4b01edea78ce106

Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse “will not be attending the convention and will instead take his kids to watch some dumpster fires across the state, all of which enjoy more popularity than the current front-runners,” his spokesman told the Hill.


...

The Hill reached out to all 57 Senate Republicans, and only 32 of them said they were planning to attend the July convention.

Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake (R) ― another vocal Trump critic ― said that he wouldn’t attend because “I’ve got to mow my lawn.”

Trump said he could make Flake lose and Flake informed him that he wasn't on the ballot this year (dumbass).

Asked if Trump would support Article I of the Constitution, Trump said he would support "Article I, Article II, all the way up to Article XII"!- there are 7 Articles in the Constitution.

Nebraska is not on the 2016 schedule of United States senate races. Ben Sasse can afford his attitude. I would love it if that middle strip of the country—North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska (statewide and the first two congressional districts), and Kansas—flipped Democratic. Based on how Donald Trump is performing, he is going to severely underperform Mitt Romney’s 2012 margins in all four of those states—and in so many other states.

He's pretty much a wacko along the lines of Rick Santorum only with more tax cuts for millionaires.
