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.
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...
