As the successor to the Murder Turtle, John Thune is perfect. A younger, less intelligent version of the Turtle, but from the same cloth. His leadership is directed at support of the status quo, not the people. It's time he was voted out of leadership, then out of the Senate.

John Thune keeps a stranglehold on the SAVE Act. He has worked against Trump since day one. He is Mitch McConnell 2.0. I've had enough of 545 people in D.C. making decisions about my life when, I suspect, half of them have an IQ of 100 or less. It's time to rise up!

Anytime you see Thune on TV, you can tell he does not have a sincere bone in his body. He should be drug out by the collar. Primary this asshole as soon as possible.

And the short answer is: they won’t.

They are just as infected with TDS as the Democrats.

They are stuck in fossilized concept of Conservatism that has failed time and time again. Mike Pence could be their poster boy.

They like the “Club”the way it has always been, with all its perks and pomposity. In reality, they are mere cowards. And they are the Achilles heel to the project the rest of us have signed onto to save this country from utter ruination.

A solution is to call their bluff and vote them back in WITH AN EVEN GREATER MAJORITY (including some better quality candidates like Paxton), which will make these duplicitous games all that much harder to play.

And that way at least we’ll still be in the fight, because if the Dems win, all bets are off.

We can't wait until AFTER the Midterms, hoping that we end up with more Republican Senators.

If you've got a Republican Senator, urge that Senator to recall Thune NOW!

So, who are these 27 sonsofbitches, and what will it take to peel a few off?

Excellent summary of the three ways Thune has used to not pass the SAVE Act. 27 Senators voted for him on a secret ballot as Majority Leader. We can easily guess who many of those 27 are. We need GOP Senators to grow a spine and elect a new leader. Call out those 27.
