It is hard to second guess President Elect Donald Trump but Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse says it is looking like he has four priorities.

Sasse is hopeful the first item on the agenda will be the repeal and replacement of Obamacare.

Sasse says it is also very important the right people get into the right position.  He says Trump will need to appoint about 7,000 people to lead the federal government and over one-thousand of them will need Senate confirmation.
