People both on Truth Social and on GAW are melting down in hysterics right now over Thune getting the Senate Majority Leader position, just like the leftists melting down over Trump winning 2024 election. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought that Trump and Vance both got assassinated, and the Democrats strangled a puppy in front of us.
But, objectively, how bad is Thune to the MAGA agenda, because I suspect that this is not unexpected and Trump probably has a plan to get through this obstacle. I do not think this is the death of MAGA people are making it out to be. As ULTRA Pepe Lives Matter says:
As long as Thune plays ball with Trump and gets his cabinet filled quickly, he'll still be better than the turtle. If he doesn't help, they remove him.
Who knows, maybe Thune might turn a leaf and start playing ball in Trump's favor. Look at Vance and see proof of transformation from Never-Trumper to MAGA-Man.
No worries, JD Vance is the Trump Card, as VP he is the de facto leader of the Senate and can tell rino-Thune to take a seat at anytime... Thune knows this, as well as he will be termed when his senate seat comes up in 2026... I expect Thune to play well with others or he will be asked to take a seat while JD takes over.
This could also help public awareness of RINO's and their destructive agenda. The average voter knows more about Thune right now then ever before. Let his anti-Trump buddies expose themselves.
That's what I was thinking. I let myself get all worked up over Rubio, & flipped out when I heard Thune won. But then I remembered Trump has a habit of putting people on center stage so that the world can see when Trump exposes them. Maybe this is the play. I'm just gonna trust he knows what he's doing.
Term 1 was for exposing. Term 2 needs to be about cleaning up properly No time for RINOs or BS exposing people. He wont get a term 3 ffs
Hopefully he’ll get exposed early on. His win does expose the fact that the uniparty is still in control.
The Anthony "Scaramucci Model." Trump will sometimes use people for a specific purpose or effect, and then summarily fire them, or like you said, let them crash and burn for all to see.
What agenda? The capitulate to marxist-democrats every time!
Exactly.
Yep, I think we will see a bunch of these hype moments where the Normies will think they are winning..... only to have Trump win again and again and again. They will tire the normie out, they won't have an ounce of rebellion left in them.
Then...... the trials begin.
The VP’s power as president of the Senate is pretty much zero except when there is a tied vote - then they get to break the tie. But other than that…. No power to bring things up for a vote, no power to stop a vote, no power over committee assignments, no power to change the Senate rules, and certainly no power to unseat the majority leader.
Yeah, not sure where this misinformation is coming from...
We said the same thing about Mitch. A Rino can only be trusted to do one thing; sabotage the agenda of we the people in order to get his golden parachute.
Different playing field. In fact, different game.
Not sure I understand the downvote. All fixed.
Dat'rite
