“Ushering in a New Leadership Era”

Is it?

[princess leah]

Baggage laden Trump nominees? Come on, man! This after they approved all of Biden’s corrupt, DEI nominees.

We’ll see if he’s a cuck RINO or has a spine and B@lls

[AnotherUnixGeek]

He will confront a challenge managing President-elect Donald J. Trump’s expectations.

Thune's job is NOT to manage Trump's expectations. Thune's only job is to help Trump implement his agenda. If Thune and the other RINOs think anyone voted for them, they're out of their RINO minds. They were carried on Trump's coat-tails.

I expect Fetterman to vote with Republicans when it’s common sense. Unfortunately, there are Republicans who will vote against their party probably more than his vote will help.

"We’ll see if he’s a cuck RINO or has a spine and B@lls"

Right off, fire shifty schiff from all committees scheming schumer
assigned to him.

Ushering in a New Leadership Era

How about something less than that?

[OKSooner]

Affable?

AFFABLE??

Is somebody putting us on, here?

That's what they said about Carter. "Affable", and "Amiable".

I am guessing that we still have Rino leaders in both the house and Senate.

[Brian Griffin]

I suspect Thune is a harder worker than Mitch.

[Brian Griffin]

Senators of both parties should bear in mind that Trump is at least twenty times better than Thune could ever be at raising campaign wampum.

[Political Junkie Too]

It would only be an era of new leadership if Thune works with Johnson to build a unified Republican caucus in Congress to enact President Trump's agenda.

In the past, McConnell ran the Senate as if the House was his servant, there solely to pass his grand legislative bills.

“We’ll see if he’s a cuck RINO or has a spine and B@lls”

Thune is the Republican senator closest to Mitch in outlook, including hatred for Trump.

[Sacajaweau]

Chuckie’s not gonna like being No. 2...No pun intended.

[Brian Griffin]

affable

pleasantly easy to talk to
showing friendliness

[from my dictionary]

[Cobra64]

In his first day in office, he should have a Schumer and Schiff arrested for Un American activities, fraud, lying…

[ZULU]

Don’t count on it. When McConnell was Senate leader, they would have needed a proctologist to extract Thune’s head if McConnell ever stopped shot

[Mastador1]

Well in fairness all of Biden’s were sorely lacking any baggage…..of competency.
