[Hoot Gibson]

Ronald Reagan believed in voting for the most conservative candidate who is electable. That is also my voting strategy. Reagan also did not believe in stabbing other Republicans in the back, which is why he commanded such loyalty from his political allies. Reagan would not have been happy about Sasse's comments about the scheduled impeachment trial, nor would he have approved of Sasse blaming Trump for the storming of the Capitol.

Sasse has been very vocal in his public criticism of Trump throughout his first term. He could have and should have disagreed with Trump on policy without being disagreeable. Now, he is paying a political cost and rightfully so.
