Inept Republican Senate Majority Leader Demands Democrats Reopen Government He Controls

The contrasting styles of John Thune and Mitch McConnell as leaders in the Senate could not be more pronounced. McConnell remains steadfast in his refusal to subjugate the Senate’s authority to Donald Trump, while Thune seems to have willingly relinquished some of that very independence, aligning himself more closely with the former president’s whims.

Despite the GOP’s ongoing attempts to pin the blame for the government shutdown on Democrats, public sentiment consistently reveals a different story. Polls indicate that the strategy is backfiring, yet under the tutelage of Trump, Republicans persist in their futile blame game.

The ineptitude displayed by Trump’s party within both the House and Senate is glaringly evident.

In an appearance on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures, Majority Leader Thune offered an unusually optimistic take on the government shutdown situation, stating:

 There are reasonable Democrats out there who are having conversations with Republicans, and I’m hopeful those are gonna yield some results. At the end of the day, all these things that they wanna do and that we’re talking about, we’re happy to have a conversation about, but that can’t happen with the government shutdown.

So it’s open up the government, or else, I think that’s really the choice that’s in front of him right now.

However, the crux of Thune’s argument is fundamentally flawed. He could take immediate action by reconvening the Senate to vote on changing the rules for passing the House Continuing Resolution (CR). With Republican control firmly in place, he possesses the authority to enact this change quite readily.

This standoff is indeed a Republican shutdown. The intent appears to be to inflate healthcare costs and jeopardize coverage for many people; hence, the futile attempts at scapegoating Democrats will likely resonate with very few people.

The ongoing shutdown has not only tarnished Trump’s image, presenting him as weak, but it also highlights the failure of Republican leadership in Congress. Aside from the most dedicated members of the MAGA movement, the general public seems unimpressed by Thune’s narrative, as Trump’s party stumbles over even the basic tenets of governance.
