Yes, as the political games are played, positions and interests are discussed well in advance to permit the political players to organize their best interests. No doubt Thune expressed his position, and President Trump discussed his expectations. This is just what happens at the highest levels of DC government.

For our optimal solution approach, it is prudent, pragmatic and proactive to shift focus away from the senate leader role and toward the objectives of President Trump and the MAGA movement he represents. We, meaning us and Trump, need positions confirmed, ergo we need specific interests represented in the Chairs of the Senate Committees who hold the power of advice and consent.

This is likely the approach taken by President Trump in his discussions with Thune. President Trump is a man of pragmatic wisdom who understands the longer, more strategically necessary moves that need to take place in order to achieve goals.

EXAMPLE: The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) will hold hearings to approve or deny appointments to CIA, DNI, NSA, FBI etc. The Senate Committee Chair holds the timing and outcome in his/her hands. The same thing applies to the Judiciary Chair, Senate Foreign Relations Chair, Senate Homeland Security Chair etc. etc.

In the role of Senate Leader John Thune can work against President Trump, or the two men could come to an agreement. Ex. President Trump endorses Thune in exchange for Thune accepting names for chair and committee assignments that would be favorable to Trump. Hopefully, something like that will likely be the outcome.

We are not going to be able to install a different Senate Majority Leader with only 20 or 25 pure-blood MAGA senators in the silo. Compromises will need to be made, but with the end goal of having a solid foundation to rest the cornerstones of President Trump’s second term.

The battle against the Deep State will require an SSCI Chairman who at least gives the opportunity for success. In my opinion the current vice chair, Marco Rubio, is going to be the acceptable chairman for both Thune, Trump and the Intelligence Silos who operate in the SSCI orbit.

Several months ago, Marco Rubio went back into his pretending role giving the illusion of conservatism, liberty and freedom. Those who accept that Rubio wears masks, can easily identify his self-interests. But again, like Thune, the number of Republicans who understand Rubio’s masks are not enough to change the scenario of who becomes the next likely chair of the SSCI. The pretending amid the upper chamber is strong and the awakening electorate don’t quite fully understand it, yet.

Getting the right people into Senate committees, and more importantly getting the right Senators into the role of the Chair, is really the dynamic that matters most. This is the actionable dynamic that should be our focus. It is wise not to be distracted from this focus by getting caught up in the emotional (angry), yet futile, fight against Thune.

President Trump will need leverage and pressure points to break through the hard silo and deal with the Senate Leader.

The Secretary of State is confirmed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The Director of National Intelligence, Director of the CIA, NSA Director and Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG) all must pass through Senate intel committee confirmation. The Senate Homeland Security Committee confirms the Dept of Homeland Security Secretary (DHS). These, and many more, are vital to our expectations.

Yes, the next Senate Majority Leader is important. However, we must remain focused on the goal and not get too distracted by the leadership battle.

Public pressure that provides President Trump leverage is useful. Outrage and anger that can label MAGA as extremist and create more internal alignment for what will be an inevitable outcome, can/will work against our strategic interests.

This is where it becomes important to accept President Trump as keen negotiating Trump and finding the optimal solution.
