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.
When has this occured before?
I have read the part of the constitution people are basing this on, and highly doubt anyone other than folks here would interpret it the way it's being implied here.
Not all of us here interpret it that way either.
Even if I did interpret it that way, I don't think it's the most strategically sound move.
Clint Brown was on Glenn Beck this morning and explained it. I believe he said it pretty much hasn’t been used since John Adam. VP is President of the Senate, he can take his seat at anytime and he would recognize who speaks during session.
