Ben Sasse: ‘It’s Pretty Clear That This White House Is a Reality Show, Soap Opera Presidency’

By Grabien Staff

CHUCK TODD: Do you think it's important for the president to publicly stabilize his staffing situation in the White House? Because it certainly looks a little dysfunctional to the public.

SEN. BEN SASSE: You know, I don't have any desire to beat the president up, but it's pretty clear that this White House is a reality show, soap opera presidency. I mean, the drama is, the drama of Omarosa and the drama of Cohen and the drama of Manafort and the drama of the Woodward quotes and the drama of these op-eds. What you'd like is the president to not worry so much about the short-term of staffing, but the long-term of vision casting for America, pull us together as a people, help us deliberate about where we should go, and then a build a team of great big cause, low ego people around you. Right now, it feels like there's just way too much drama every day and that distracts us from the longer-term stuff we should be focused on together.
