Why Is Thune Running Scared?
Kevin McCullough

There are moments in the life of a republic when what Congress chooses not to do says more than every speech, every press conference, and every carefully rehearsed talking point ever could.

I believe this is one of those moments.

In just a short while, the United States Senate will be heading home while the SAVE Act remains unfinished business.

This makes my gut rot.

I don’t say that lightly.

I’m not angry because a bill didn’t get passed today.

Washington disappoints us every week.

I’m angry because Republicans spent years telling voters that election integrity was foundational to the survival of the republic.

Now comes the first truly defining moment. And the Senate is packing its bags.

Help me understand that. Seriously. Because I don’t get it.

Maybe I’m wrong. But from where I sit, John Thune looks like a man running from the very fight Republicans asked Americans to send them back to Washington to win.

I don’t know what’s in his heart. I know what his conference is doing.

Thune ordered his State's GOP to deny entry to Scott Pressler at his Party's meeting.  That went over like a lead balloon and the Party had to retract the rejection, and the Executive Board of the Party voted unanimously to Censure Thune.  That Censure faces a vote of the full Delegation, which I expect will pass.

While the censure will have little effect now, it bodes ill in 2028 because his reelection campaign will get no funding from the Party.

And he expects to be reelected as Party Leader in 2027.  He is opposed by a large majority of the people of the United States, and the Senate ignores them at their peril!  Ask Senators Cassidy and Cornyn.  Thune should be afraid!
