Good. An intelligent, normal, decent, mature adult.
My standards for this administration are such that anything above Alex Jones, Rosanne Barr and Nick Fuentes will be considered a moral victory.

This is a good pick. Dems can work with him, and he is not pro-Trump.
John Thune (R-S.D.) has been elected Senate majority leader, setting the stage for him to replace retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has held the top Senate GOP leadership job for the past 18 years.
Thune has served as Senate Republican whip, the No. 2-ranking position in the Senate GOP leadership, since 2019, and largely managed operation of the Senate floor since McConnell suffered a concussion from a fall in 2023.
Thune is well-liked among his Senate Republican colleagues and his affable, humble approach to managing the conference has earned the trust and confidence of fellow GOP senators.
He announced his intention to run for leader shortly after McConnell said in February that he would retire from the GOP leadership at the end of this year.
His main competition for the past eight months of the race has been Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a formidable fundraiser, who served as Senate Republican whip from 2013 to 2019.
Cornyn tried to portray himself in the race as an agent of change, promising to give rank-and-file Republicans more opportunity to debate and amendment legislation on the Senate floor.

That not being ProTrump might still be true or he may have grown with the country.
At any rate Vance will be "the president of the senate" and can exert considerable pressure to do the right thing.

He's got to be better than Cornyn....Even if he's not.

Is he a member of the swamp or no?
The Senate is not going to receive a Trump signature as often as he would like if he is a swamp creature.

There is no Zionist threat, libbie. The threat is from the Islamic dictator of Iran and Communist China. But go ahead and focus on Da Jooooos!

There is indeed a threat from Iran, China, and Russia too.
But you've led the discussion off topic, so let's talk about the situation somewhere else.

A shame, you are not an intelligent, decent, mature adult.
Your standards? Are those the same standards you used to state Biden is fit to be president or Kamala is qualified to be president.

Thune is promising to hit the ground running and get Trump's appointments confirmed as quickly as possible.
Which sounds nice, but we'll have to see how it goes.
If Senate R's want Trump to sign off on any of their priorities, they better be prepared to work with him...

Which is exactly why he shouldn’t have been chosen… he’s the enemy, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
