Ben Sasse is a conservative United States senator from Nebraska. He was one of the six GOP senators who actually had enough political courage to vote to impeach Donald Trump after the January 6th Insurrection at our nation’s capital.
When I was young…I was probably quite a bit like Ben Sasse in my views of what America’s role should be in the world.
You get older and your views change or steer a bit as you go through the journey of life.
I was a registered Republican from 1976 -2000. I didn’t leave the Republican Party to join the Democratic Party. I left to become an Independent who’s still very much a fiscal conservative with a much more tolerant view of social issues than what the GOP has evolved into in the past twenty-two years.
If I were a young person looking across the horizon of where our country now stands…I would say in 2024 I’d probably look for a ticket of say Ben Sasse from Nebraska and possibly either Lisa Murkowski from Alaska or Tim Scott from South Carolina to fill out the ticket.
This in no way means I agree with these three people on everything, but what it means to me is I would hope this could be a ticket which could draw Americans back together and all of us could remember what it means to be an American…and why being an American should be aspirational and special.
I would even be willing to have a moderate Democrat on the ticket if both sides could agree on how that might come into being.
But I know this…the path America is currently on is not sustainable.
Gold bless the brave people in Ukraine who deserve an opportunity to be free. They seem to understand freedom much more than we do currently.
