This is not a call for Sasse to run for President in 2020, challenging Donald Trump, or even beyond. The leadership of the conservative movement doesn’t require occupying the oval office. Sasse was elected in 2014. His two-year tenure will only be 3.5 years by the time a challenge to President Trump becomes necessary. Let’s give it time. For now, Sasse provides hope for a movement that is floundering, relying on a fake conservative to advance an agenda that doesn’t fit with his core beliefs because he lacks core beliefs.
Conservatives have searched for reasoned, measured, and principled leadership for some time now. Leadership that is about ideas, constitutional governance, limited government, federalism, and understanding the importance of the separation of powers within government, particularly at the federal level.
Ben Sasse is that leader.
