Sasse Warns GOP Against Short-Termism

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) told NPR that the Republican Party is in an internal battle between “conservatism and short-termism.”

Said Sasse: “I think it’s important to give a frank assessment of where the party of Lincoln and Reagan is right now. I think there’s a whole bunch of stuff the party of Lincoln and Reagan needs to do to persuade people we have a 2030 agenda, not a 20-minute Twitter agenda.”

John White: “While the Republican gamble with history may pay dividends in the short-term, it is a long-term loser.”
