There is a new Republican rock star arising from the fields
of Nebraska and his name is Ben Sasse. Unsurprisingly, however, this rising
Republican star comes more from the halls of Ivy League universities and
government than any corn field remotely near the state of Nebraska.
Currently, Sasse is the Republican candidate seeking to gain
the US Senate seat that was vacated by former Republican incumbent Mike
Johanns. His opponents are Democrat David Domina and Tax Wall Street Party candidate Dan Buhrdorf.
Considering the massive amounts of money and support from
establishment Republicans and Neo-Con/Reactionary organizations, it is quite
likely that Sasse will be able to pull out an easy victory in Nebraska,
especially since money almost always equals success in American politics.
However, there is much more to Ben Sasse than meets the eye,
especially in terms of how he is portrayed by the mainstream media. Indeed,
both his private as well as his government jobs should raise the eyebrows of
any potential supporter.
For instance, in the private sector, Sasse was formerly
employed by McKinsey and Company, a
global management consulting firm that once employed Chelsea Clinton. The firm
serves as an adviser to both governments and private businesses and has
produced more
CEOs than any other company.
