Marc Elias: John Thune ‘Is Such a Weak, Pathetic Individual,’ He’ll Just Keep Taking It from Trump on the SAVE Act

‘Well, the remarkable thing is that John Thune is not actually telling him no, John Thune is saying, ‘I don’t have the votes’’

EXCERPT:

ELIAS: “John Thune's not standing there being like, I disagree with this. I mean, John Thune is like, no, I agree with this. But look, Mr. President, there are only 100 senators. So this is not higher math, right? Like, we can count from 1 to 100. And the critical numbers here are 51 and 60. And there are not the votes to get there. So, like, Donald Trump can make them stay in session. He can continue to attack John Thune. John Thune is such a weak, pathetic individual. He will take it from Donald Trump, no matter how many things Donald Trump says about him. But what Thune is saying is, Mr. President, I don't have the votes.”
