Sen. Thune said there is no reason to sit around in August for a vote for the SAVE Act that will never happen because of the filibuster. He has said that at least 15 Republican senators will not vote to kill the filibuster.
We all know the Democrats will kill the filibuster once they return to power. They have made that clear, and they are now in control of the Communist DSA.
President Trump is trying to put pressure on them, but if it is 15, it is an impossible hurdle. However, Thune could threaten to make their names public and that would certainly change a lot of minds.
However, there is no way they get Lisa Murkowskior Mitch McConnell and probably a couple of others like Chuck Grassley.
Thune’s comments:
Thune said he didn't see how having Congress sitting around there for the month of August is a good use of anybody's time.
Is he serious?
That's his f'ing job. Sitting around voting on legislation. That's it. That's the job.
Dont like it? We will happily accept his… pic.twitter.com/cJwfzS1xHa
