They will be voted out. There is only so long the chamber of commerce and business round table can rule the USA. DONT GET PISSED AND VOTE DEMOCRAT by sitting out elections. IT WILL BE FAR FAR WORSE


This is so very important folks. Remind everyone you know what’s at stake and push them to vote R no matter who it is.

What in the hell is wrong with this guy?

I'd rather he just switch parties and be done with it.

We have a President that beat the ever-living crap out of the Dems in 2024 and this skid mark would rather back the losers.

The real question is- why does Trump put up with him?

Trump should make some minor appointments and see if they want to fight about it.


This.

Make Thune come out and take action to publicly attempt to overturn Trump appointments.

Thune wins at the moment because doing nothing is quiet. Trump can change that.

It is almost as if he is a dim! Almost as if most R's are also dims. Thune taking a bullet for his team. He will get the anger of the public while the rest of the the R's can't be held accountable for voting against the SAVE act.

It is all a game.

But it's all Trump's fault! Congress is fricking worthless.

They keep getting voted in by corruption and low information voters that vote for the name they recognize while knowing nothing about the voting record.

So far I wouldn't use the phrase "fighting for survival". They seem to being doing just fine.

It is pretty obvious the plan is to do nothing until midterms and hope Democrats take control after. Sure, Republicans oppose Democrats, but what they don't want is any lasting representation from MAGA. That is too much like a third party.

So Republicans keep Trump ineffective by doing nothing his first two years, and then when Democrats take control, Republicans will pretend to be outraged at Democrats for blocking Trump but will applaud them behind closed doors.

Their ultimate hope is MAGA ends when Trump leaves office.

I'm not the only one to say this, but it's been obvious for awhile now that the corrupt GOP Establishment's plan is to "wait Trump out" as best they can. I guarantee you that their plan for 2028 is to nominate an Establishment candidate like a Bush (not an actual Bush). If they get lucky, they will nominate "one of their own" who nevertheless has some people fooled that he or she is MAGA.


PS - John Thune is a total scumbag. President Trump must feel like he's stuck with Thune, because AFAIK President Trump has never really lowered the boom on this traitor.
