Stu Cvrk, American Greatness
This moronic essay pretends John Thune is a John McCain cut-out, and hates on him because he won't join the lunatics who want to abolish the filibuster, which it calls a "sacred relic".
It wants a GOP Senate to ram down our throats what the political consensus won't abide.
The House can send the Senate all the crazy bills passed with a simple five vote majority it wants, but those always die in the Senate if they don't meet with consensus there, no matter who is in charge. The essay simply pretends that this is not so when Democrats control it.
Assuming Thune could even get all 53 Republicans on board with abolishing the filibuster, he would have to have the help of more than a dozen Democrats in addition. Changing Senate Rule 22 requires the votes of 2/3 of the members.
What's worse is that these people have been scheming for months to avoid the 2/3 requirement, so that the rule can be changed with even less political consensus.
If you think these idiots, which include Donald Trump by the way, are the answer to "saving America" or whatever stupid slogan they've cooked up, you deserve what's coming.
Democrat Chris Van Hollen, who wants to be the new Senate Majority Leader to replace Chucky Schumer, opposes the filibuster. He's actually running on this to overthrow Schumer.
The Republican opponents of John Thune are in the wrong party. They might as well be Chris Van Hollen Democrats.
