F*CK John Thune and his ""I don't think Democrats are serious about wanting to do a deal" healthcare HORSESH*T.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the upcoming vote on Democrats’ plan “a political messaging exercise,” one he agreed to last month as part of a deal to end the 47-day government shutdown. He didn’t commit to putting up a GOP counteroffer for a vote.

“I don’t think they’re serious about wanting to do a deal yet, so I think that may be what this week is about,” Thune told reporters Monday. “But we’ll see from there if there is a genuine interest in trying to do something.”

GOP senators are expected to further discuss their options at a closed-door lunch Tuesday and make a final decision about their posture. But, according to three Republican aides granted anonymity to comment on internal conference dynamics, leaders are not currently expected to offer an alternative for a vote Thursday.

One of the aides said Republicans will be prepared to make the case they have plenty of ideas and are ready to talk with Democrats once they move off a proposal that won’t get the 60 votes needed to advance.

It's so galaxy-brain Elon could have thought of it...

I mean, talk about signing your own death warrant...geez and here I thought Thune was maybe one of the 'smart' ones...

3. Exactly..."wanting to do a deal"...

It's really quite simple. You're gonna throw tens of millions of Americans to the wolves, or you're not. That's the "deal." And he knows it.
