The difference between John Thune and Mitch McConnell as head of the majority of the Senate is that McConnell refuses to sell the independence of the Senate to Trump. Thune abandoned the status of the Senate as part of a coequal branch of the government.
The Republicans continue to try to blame the Democrats for the government’s closure when the survey after survey shows that their strategy does not work, but as is what Trump told them, the Republicans continue to fail.

Trump party members in the House and Senate also seem completely incompetent.
The leader of the Thune majority participated in the Sunday morning future of Fox News and presented a very strange perspective on the closure of the government.
Thune said:
There are reasonable democrats who have conversations with the Republicans, and I hope they give some results. At the end of the day, all these things they want to do and of which we are talking about, we are happy to have a conversation, but that cannot happen with the closure of the government.
It is therefore open the government, if not, I think it is really the choice that is in front of it right now.

The problem with Thune’s position is that it is total nonsense.
Senator Thune could announce today that he was bringing the Senate back in session tomorrow to vote to modify the rules to demand 51 votes to adopt the CR room.
Thune can do it, and it could do it very easily, because the Republicans have total control of the federal government.
It is a republican closure.
Republicans want to increase health insurance premiums and throw people from their health care. This is the goal of closure, so blame the Democrats does not deceive many people.
Government closed not only Trump weak and weak, but it also made the republican leadership in the congress.
Apart from Maga, nobody buys what Thune sells, because Trump and his party failed the most basic element of governance.
