Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) told an Iowa newspaper on Saturday that the Republican Party is unpersuasive and doesn’t have “clarity of any long term vision.”
“Those two sides of the Republican Party – you can call it a Wall Street-K Street continuum and a Bannonite populism – both of them are unpersuasive to moms and dads in Iowa and Nebraska who are thinking about what kind of country they want to give their kids in 10 and 20 years,” Sasse told the Des Moines Register.
He made the comments after speaking at a fundraiser for The Family Leader, a Christian advocacy group.
“I think that the Republican Party doesn’t have clarity of any long-term vision that it communicates to the American people. That’s why in the 2016 presidential election you saw it ripe for a pretty fundamental attack on its platform,” the Nebraska senator, who has been a frequent critic of President Trump’s since the 2016 campaign, added.
