Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska says he cannot vote for Donald Trump if he wins the Republican nomination–but has not endorsed any of Trump’s rivals–not even Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97%

The GOP elite is a rotting tableau of political cowardice.
Time was, an elected leader picked a primary candidate and stuck with him. If that candidate lost — well, then, honor and principle demanded they go down together, until the convention offered a chance to re-unify the party.
