"[T]hey shouldn’t expect him to adopt an instinctual reaction of ‘no’"

After winning the Republican U.S. Senate primary in Nebraska last night, Ben Sasse’s strategists promptly released a memo confirming what I had just written in a post titled, Ben Sasse won’t burn down the house.

Here’s an excerpt from that memo:

“Conservatives will be thrilled with Ben Sasse as a US Senator if they are looking for a leader who will propose and fight for conservative solutions from a constitutional perspective, but they shouldn’t expect him to adopt an instinctual reaction of ‘no’; nor should they expect that he will go out of his way to annoy establishment GOP leaders. There are certainly times he will take them on as Senator Coburn did a decade ago over earmarks, but he will also choose his battles carefully.”
