Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) acknowledged on Twitter Saturday morning that he “regularly” considers leaving the Republican party.

Sasse responded to a Twitter user who said they switched from being a member of the Democratic party to a "no party" voter and asked the GOP senator if he ever considered following suit.

Social media users quickly responded, arguing that President Trump has pushed life-long Republicans from the party.

Multiple local and national Republicans have resigned from the party over the last year, many citing Trump or the party’s response to the presidency. They include local GOP officials in Oregon, California and Connecticut.

1. Isn't this the same guy that made an ass of himself this week in the Kavanaugh hearing?

If it is the same guy...sure didn;t sound very 'democratic' to me.

Of course there were quite a few who made asses of themselves...

4. He's certainly not a Democrat, but his words indicate he knows the dangers of Trump

He just isn't willing to sacrifice his own personal agenda for the greater good.

6. That's for sure.

None of them are...

2. i regularly consider winning powerball

doesn't mean i ever will

3. Well I guess he considers it a bad idea, since he hasn't done it

Instead he complains about Trump occasionally and enables him most of the time. His best time to take a stand is RIGHT NOW.

5. More have-it-both-ways-ism. Sasse ENABLES him & PROTECTS him.

He's a RepubliCon. He has to. Party over country.

Walk the talk. Vote against him all the time and we'll believe you, Sasse.

9. do it or shut up

10. Now, finally, we're getting to the root of the Republican dysfunction.

A large majority of them know Brump is beyond redemption and they can no longer even wave off his lunacy...

But, here's the rub.

Openly admitting it would mean generally the Democrats and specifically Hillary Clinton were correct all along. It's a leap in cognitive dissonance their minds won't allow after 30 years of brain washing. It means their lives have been wasted on a dumpster fire.

11. Be a hero instead!

Switch party, and stand up against what they have become, treasonous , corrupt criminals who put putin , and russian mafia bosses and trump ahead of country and the American people. Or be remember as someone who did nothing , and ran away.

14. I don't want him in our party

He can just be an independent. Or he should just resign instead.
