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.
Thune voted in alignment with President Trump 90% of the time, and Scott 94% of the time.
The times where they were on opposite sides were pretty significant
John Thune: Voted to certify the 2020 Electoral College results, affirming President-elect Joe Biden's victory. Rick Scott: Objected to the certification of Pennsylvania's electoral votes, aligning with efforts to challenge the election outcome.
John Thune: Voted in favor of a resolution to terminate President Trump's national emergency declaration intended to fund the U.S.-Mexico border wall, expressing concerns over executive overreach. Rick Scott: Supported President Trump's declaration, advocating for the construction of the border wall.
