Thune has done 'a good job,' and nobody wants that Senate Minority Leader job in a room full of rampant Democrats, anyway.

Get Thune out of there? Now? What would that do?
The deep state extends their middle finger to us. It’s hard to clean things up when the DSA is funded and motivated to move to communism, and half of the Republicans cooperate.
Foresight and hindsight are two different things. Thune did right by us.
>Didn’t have the votes.<
Then take a vote. Find out who the chumps are. Ask Cassidy, Cornyn, Tillis.
Being a Majority Leader with a narrow majority is a thankless job. Being a Minority Leader is a hopeless job. One of the problems has been that those not in leadership positions haven’t stood up and called out members of the club and held them accountable.
Actually I searched the issue and our leaders did not fight hard enough.
Example the voter id bill. Even with filibuster we could have made it harder on them.
—-attach other bills to it
—forced a “talking filibuster”
—forcing congress to stay in session longer, dens are lazy generally
—-and if all that failed the Nuclear Option
—etc
Instead Thune rolled over like a cur and showed his belly. Fire him like as in yesterday.
Repeal the 17th Amendment as the Founders intended, they would be horrified by what has happened. A boy can dream...
The last of the so called moderate Democrats invaded and took over the Republican Party decades ago. We call them RINOs but they are actually liberal Democrats .
Thune is just a 1990s style Clinton Democrat in a RINO disguise. Stop looking at RINOs as misguided Republicans and see them for what they are - 1990s establishment Democrats. Do this and it clarifies things .
I agree on this.
Thune is a jackass - meaning a Donkey aka Democrat
Too little too late.
“Please be gentle. I’m a virgin.” pleaded the bride on her wedding night.
When the puzzled groom asked how that was possible after ten marriages, she explained her past relationships:
• The sales rep just talked it up; the software guy promised to look into it; the field service tech couldn’t get the system up; and the telemarketer couldn’t deliver.
• The engineer wanted years to research a new method; the finance guy wasn’t sure it was his job; and the marketing guy couldn’t position it.
• The psychologist just talked about it, the gynecologist only looked at it, and the stamp collector... well, she missed him dearly, but ...
Smiling at her new husband, she said she was finally excited.
When he asked why, she replied,
“You’re John Thune. This time I know I’m going to get screwed.”
The Thune travesty Get that guy out of there.
How could the nation possibly have survived without the Progressive Era 17th Amendment (17A), that amendment giving constitutionally clueless ordinary voters the power to vote for federal senators? /super-sarc
More specifically, consider that probably most post-17A ratification lawmakers discovered that they could promise voters who have evidently never really studied the fed's constitutionally limited powers, every unconstitutional federal social spending and politically correct civil rights policy under the sun to get themselves elected. Constitutionally naïve voters eventually took the bait and elected these crooks, and then reelected them!
Then once in office, criminal-minded lawmakers immediately violate their oath to protect and defend the Constitution by simply fulfilling their campaign promises based on Congress's ongoing abuse of its 16th Amendment (16A; direct taxes)-facilitated, unconstitutional federal policies like healthcare and retirement that the states should be administering.
Are we having fun yet? 8^P
Thune aside, the major problems that post-17A citizens are having with their unconstitutionally big federal government are self-inflicted imo.
Fool me twice...
If corrupt, elite Democrats and RINOs were determined to repeal 16&17A, they would already have rammed the amendment through the states, supported by the corrupt media, as fast as Pelosi rammed unconstitutional Obamacare through the House imo.
“Thune did right by us.”
_______
Thune fought doing right by us the whole two years. All the senate did, under his leadership. Too bad Thune wasn’t up for reelection.
The Republican will fight like tigers now that the congressional Republicans are in the minority !! GO GOP ! We got em just where we want them . / sarc
Yup...a big F-U to Thune- let them elect a rat in that state- at least we can blame them rather than be embarrassed by this POS...
Remember when George Bush was re-elected in 2004?? Remember how he spat on us over illegal immigration??? Same thing here...
It’s easy to blame Thune, and I do for many things, but with a thin majority and the likes of Murkowski, Tillis, and Collins it’s easy to see why he failed. That being said, he was after all a MC Connell acolyte so he performed as expected.
We squandered power when we had it.
Why I don’t know.
