Thune has been disappointing for quite a few years now. He could easily become the next Linda Graham, should JUAN ever retire and let Linda get a RINO promotion.
W.A.G. is that Thune has had people sidling up to him at tony DC parties thrown by the "right" hostesses and whispering in his ear how smart he is, and handsome, and electable, and how he has it all going on, and how he could advance to high office ...... if only he would begin the "glide path" to electable moderation ......
Sounds like the RiNO's/NWO-erati are cheesing up another renegade for 2016.
