It's not up to POTUS to get rid of Thune, but the voters. This has been a movie to expose all of the deep state penetrations into the republican party. We have not been disappointed, just frustrated and gleeful, at the same time. The good voters will do what is necessary to make this situation palpable, and President Trump will cause Thune to face the reality of going against the best President in a long long time. Will the voters call for a special election to reevaluate Thune's position? We can certainly hope so.
