Barrasso also has some ‘splainin’ to do also, as the Republican senate whip. His entire job description is to corral the votes for bills, especially those in trouble. How’s he doing in that capacity? Total FAIL.
There are dozens of things Thune and he could do to get other senators to vote accordingly, (like taking away committee seats or offering future ones, offering to include pet amendments for them or threatening to cut them out, calling them out to expose them, etc.), BUT they’re simply NOT doing it.
Because they’re cowards, yes.
But far worse, just because they despise Trump. Their mental illness is going to destroy US and this country.
This is where Republicans find out whether they have a majority or a museum tour. The Democrat Party wants election fog because fog protects the machine. The voters want proof of citizenship because citizens, and only citizens, should decide American elections. Muse is right: Thune does not need to worship the Parliamentarian, kill the filibuster, or invent some fantasy maneuver. He needs to use the authority the Senate already has, put SAVE in reconciliation, let Vance rule, and make Democrats find 60 votes to strip it. If Thune will not fight on this, he is not leading. Replace him.
Thune, picking up where McConnell left off, hates Trump and will do everything he can to get in his way. That he was selected to run the Senate in a secret vote is appalling to me.
ROGER THAT!!!
