With Trump poised to win the Republican nomination, Sen. Ben Sasse, an outspoken Trump critic, has some thoughts to share with Americans who, like him, are concerned about what a Trump vs. Hillary race means for the country:

The path to national recovery is getting longer–as both broken parties move closer to nominating fundamentally dishonest 2016 candidates.

Fortunately, what is most important in America has never been found in politics. https://t.co/1NHi9kLWUs

Truth.

This is telling…
Have gotten 100 angry replies in 3mins, but NOT ONE claims either candidate is actually honest. https://t.co/1NHi9kLWUs

Reporters keep asking if Indiana changes anything for me.
The answer is simple: No.

Here’s how he concluded his “Open Letter to Trump Supporters” back in February:

Thank you for listening. While I recognize that we disagree about how to make America great again, we agree that this should be our goal. We need more people engaged in the civic life of our country—not fewer. I genuinely appreciate how much many of you care about this country, and that you are demanding something different from Washington. I’m going to keep doing the same thing.

But I can’t support Donald Trump.

Humbly,

Ben Sasse

5 began with: How do we shout "None of the above"!?
