🚨 UNFCKING REAL: John Thune just got REELECTED as Senate Republican Leader. Nobody even ran against him.

Same leader. Same failures. Same excuses.

The base wants FIGHTERS, and the Senate GOP handed the keys right back to the guy who couldn't get it done.

WE DESERVE TO KNOW WHO VOTED FOR THE COWARD.

John Thune seems confused about why he isn't liked in "online world."

He says being hated is a "daily experience" for him.

He said, "I don't know that they necessarily told me anything I got wrong."

Ok, I'll start.....

1) Oct. 8, 2016: he said Trump "should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately."

2) Dec. 2020: he said a challenge to the Electoral College would "go down like a shot dog."

3) 2022: he said he hoped Republicans would have "other options" besides Trump.

4) 2023: he endorsed Tim Scott, and didn't back Trump until Feb. 2024.

5) He voted for the $95 billion Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan aid package.

6) He requested $116 million in earmarks while voting to strip earmarks.

7) He used pro forma sessions to block recess appointments.

8) He refused Trump's call to end blue slips.

9) The House passed the SAVE Act. It died in the Senate 48-50, and a narrower voter ID bill died too.

10) He refused to nuke the filibuster or force a talking filibuster.

11) He waved off the SAVE Act pressure as a "paid influencer ecosystem."

12) When McConnell vanished for 3 months, Thune said it was "between Sen. McConnell and the people of Kentucky."

13) About 161 Trump nominations are still waiting, including 25 judges, and Democrats take over in January.

14) And he still feels no sense of urgency, and no realization of his own failures.

What did I leave off the list?

Advisor to Speaker Johnson TORCHES John Thune, Says He Could Pass The SAVE America Act RIGHT NOW, but it’s Just Sitting on His Desk.

Hogan Gidley points out that it only needs a simple majority because it’s in a reconciliation bill.

The Speaker got over 1,000 bills passed in the House, the Senate under Leader Thune FAILED to pass 700 of them.

They refused to take up major conservative priorities, including codifying 100+ of Trump’s executive orders, and the SAVE America Act, which was passed by House Republicans four separate times.

It hasn’t even been taken up in the Senate.

The House delivered. The Senate failed to follow through.

Facts, @jhogangidley.

If you are confused how John Thune just became Senate minority leader…

Imagine your party gets hammered in the midterms, losing at least seven Senate seats to the Democrats and the majority along with it, and instead of stopping to ask what went wrong, Senate Republicans walk into a closed-door room just one week later, shut out the very voters who sent them there, and come back out with the EXACT SAME leader, because when Ron Johnson, Rick Scott, Mike Lee and others begged for a little more time so members could lay out a real vision for the party, the delay was voted down 31-15 in a private tally we only know about from anonymous sources, and then, with no challenger and no recorded vote, Thune kept his job by acclamation, and the rest of the leadership team stayed almost entirely unchanged, as if nothing happened, as if millions of Republican voters didn't just watch their majority crumble, as if "accountability" is something Washington demands of everyone except itself, so now the SAME people who led us into the minority get to lead us through it, Republican voters still don't know how their own senators voted on the delay, and we're all just supposed to nod along and trust the process and feckless, worthless people that put us here in the first place, which is exactly why so many of us are FURIOUS tonight.

What went wrong was Trump and MAGA. America soundly defeated MAGA and Republicans are trying to move on to keep their party relevant.

MAGA is dead, you just haven't read the tweet yet.

Time will tell. I think the leader of MAGA is still POTUS for the next 2 years so good luck with it.

the leader of MAGA is now a weakened leader. He has two ways to go IMO...maintain the hardline and see stalemate for 2 years or recognise that his policies have been repudiated and work with Democrats for the benefit of the country. I'd prefer option number 2

I respect your viewpoints Ned but strongly disagree with this anslysis. Trump can get a lot done with EO and then veto the crazy crap that will come from the dems. POTUS is the chief executive and will wield his power.

Republican senators are a HUGE psyop.

They campaign like they’re fighting Democrats, then govern like they’re working for them.

Republican voters get empty promises. Democrats get results.

At some point, it’s not incompetence. It’s betrayal.

Yeah he’s definitely the leader of MAGA, and he’s technically still the president. But that’s about it. Nobody takes him seriously as a leader anymore (not that most of us with a college degree ever did anyway). Now we’re all just waiting until 2028 so we can elect a Democrat president and get 2 years of actual government and start working towards repairing our relationships with our allies

If you object to "more of the same" from GOP leadership, then you should be vociferously opposed to Gym Jordan being selected as House Minority Leader. But I suppose Gym Jordan will not matter much in any event, since House Democrats will outnumber House Republicans by roughly ninety (90) members. LOL. Life is good.

I don't like Jim Jordan either. He has still never worked to impeach even one of these commie judges obstructing Trump.

No one cares what MAGA likes, dislikes, or thinks anymore. The Bluekkake took care of that. MAGA has been sidelined, and Cheeto Hitler is quickly fading into irrelevancy. Life is good. :cool:

You're such a simple thinker and always devoid of facts - just opinions that allow you to save face. Trump's corruption was number one pre-election and number two in post-election exit polling. Face reality Papa G. - America hates Trump.

This was a FoxNews pre-election poll

This is what exit polling showed
