Big things are reportedly happening today regarding the government shutdown.
Notice I said “big things”, not “good things”.
Because as always, the spineless Republicans under the “leadership” of John Thune and Ted Cruz are beginning to fold like a cheap suit.
Sen. Thune was quoted as saying today, “We have given them everything they have asked for.”
🚨 BREAKING: Senator John Thune just said the Senate could stall over the weekend to try to reopen the government if Democrats block the vote again.
Thun: “We’ve given them everything they asked for.”
Just NUKE Filibuster! Easy. pic.twitter.com/QlXRuumouj

What a pitiful man.
We have the power to end this immediately – nuke the filibuster and crack down on them for the next 3 years!
Apply MAGA at lightning speed!
Stop this nonsense!
But instead of taking real action, we get more hot air speeches:
🚨 JUST IN: Senator John Thune is going ballistic on Democrats on the Senate floor
This raises the question – why not just NUKE THE FILIBUSTER? pic.twitter.com/xGo11ZJgAK
Thune: “If I were a Democrat, I would be embarrassed to go into this building every day. To walk across it…

No one wants to hear another dramatic speech that you can clip and post online.
it’s lame.
We want action!
President Trump has given you a clear path forward:
President Trump is 100%.
Without a nuclear attack on the filibuster, Republicans will accomplish nothing.

John Thune is not someone whom history will not remember…
Imagine him thinking he knows better than Trump!
pathetic!
Meanwhile, Democrats are now pushing for a new deal, offering to end the shutdown if they get Obamacare subsidies for one year:

This is dangerous, for Dems to position healthcare as a midterm issue!
Republicans can do anything…

Terrible idea!
It would be a big mistake.
First of all, we are winning.
MAGA is in the driver’s seat.
We don’t need to make any deal.
We just need to end the filibuster and implement all of Trump’s policies at light speed.
Second, we don’t need to continue subsidizing the failed Obamacare mess.
We need to end Obamacare, not subsidize it. it’s dead! Take it back out and shoot!
Third, it sets up this whole debacle as the main issue for next year’s midterm elections and we all saw how that played out on Tuesday, right?
No, no, no!
Don’t do that!
Listen to Trump:
Reporter: “Is there room for bipartisanship? Because that seems to be the main purpose of the filibuster.”
President Trump: “Well, obviously it didn’t work.”
“If the filibuster is abolished, we will have the most productive three years in the history of our country.” pic.twitter.com/JLTAFHUw5w

In fact, Mike Engleman is right, Thune should have done this at 12:01 pm on January 20th!
John Thune knows the Democrats will block every bill at every turn! They should have ended the filibuster at 5pm on January 20th!
Thune has burned through 9 months of President Trump’s tenure! So how many more months will he help the Democrats?
We lost 9 months of bills… pic.twitter.com/l7A45nPMpE
