    I don’t know anything about Thune yet, but I’m very familiar with Scott and thankfckinggod it wasn’t him.

      Thune is at least a proponent of NATO, and supporter of Ukraine in so far as it repels Russian aggression in the region. So at least we know the mandate in the Senate for the moment.

      I wouldn’t go anywhere near saying he was a good choice, but he was the least bad choice of the three options by a country fucking mile.

        I don’t think any of that matters. Trump will say what he wants, and everyone’s principles and voting records will go out the window. They will fall in line.

        The literal VP-elect under Trump is on record as a “never Trump guy”. Same principles applied. Trump spoke and everyone grovelled.
