There’s a myriad of outrage articles written about the Senate DeceptiCon Leader stepping down from his position and the likely heir apparent John Thune (R-SD) taking his place.
I doubt you will find a website that has been outlining the conniving duplicity of South Dakota Senator John Thune more than this one [SEE HERE]. That said, attempting to stop John Thune from becoming the next Senate Majority Leader is an exercise in futility, here’s why.
I cannot stand Thune and his Big Ag duplicity. But I’m not going to waste time trying to change an outcome that is essentially done, negotiated (yes, discussions with Trump) and “in the books” so to speak.
We have written about this plan for several years. Mitch McConnell isn’t leaving the Senate; he’s just stepping down from leadership. McConnell personally groomed Thune for the position and has introduced him to all the key financial players that keep the DeceptiCons (Deceptive Conservatives) in office. GO DEEP and GO DEEP
John Thune talks about assuming the role as the natural outcome of his time with McConnell, because the political silo that houses the Senate chamber is well fortified. Unfortunately, almost all the GOPe Republicans (DeceptiCons) will support this passing of the baton, and the only thing that makes the Deep State professional Republicans nervous, is the potential for President Donald Trump to intercede in the anointing. This is Trump’s leverage point.
With the upper chamber in Republican control Thune has the support of the democrat uniparty apparatus and the Decepticon wing of the republicans (McConnell’s team). The nonaligned Republican coalition is approximately 20 to 25 members, who might -key word, ‘might’- vote against Thune. This makes Thune’s installment a generally accepted foregone conclusion.
We don’t have to like that reality, but we are not going to pretend. We can dirty him up, position President Trump for maximum leverage, but at the end of the day math is math and the numbers in opposition just are not there. Now, if We The People want to change this dynamic, then [HERE’S The Solution]. Having said that, remember, the Senator who becomes the Majority Leader then controls the committee assignments and specifically who are the senate chairs of those committees.
