Fox: "People want to know why the Senate has a majority of Republicans and they can't pass it..." Thune: "To get around the 60 vote threshold, you would have to nuke the filibuster and there aren't the votes for that. It's a math issue. It isn't a question of leadership."

🚨 NEW: Fox’s Bret Baier challenges Sen. John Thune on why the SAVE America Act and voter ID reform hasn’t progressed: “What do you say to the President?” THUNE: "The only way you can get this done is to nuke the legislative filibuster. And this is not something that we have anywhere close to the votes to do. So we have had votes... We will continue to put the Democrats on record. The Democrats are voting against an issue that 80 to 85% of the American people are for."

We will continue to put the Democrats on record. The Democrats are voting against an issue that 80 to 85% of the American people are for." Following President Trump’s ultimatum to attach the SAVE America Act to the pending surveillance renewal package, Leader John Thune walks Bret Baier through the unyielding floor math confronting Republican leadership. While strongly endorsing the voter validation measures, Thune gives a realistic assessment of institutional boundaries and explains why the upper chamber lacks the votes to force a rules change.

PATHETIC: Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is FURIOUS that some Republicans want to CANCEL the August recess to force a vote on the SAVE America Act: “I don't understand the rationale... We don’t have the votes to pass [the SAVE America Act] no matter how long we stay, and we’re NOT going to change the filibuster.” “Somehow the president is convinced that if he presses hard enough that we will come around. But I just don't think that's likely to happen.” “It’s a very difficult position [for Sen. Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to be in].”

🚨 BREAKING: Senate Leader John Thune just ADMITTED that the Democrats may nuke the filibuster when they re-take power! But he doesn't have the votes to do it with a 53-seat Republican majority. We SHOULD NUKE IT! We are basically just going to be SITTING DUCKS waiting for Democrats to do it THUNE: "I don't disagree that there is a possibility. If the Democrats ever get the House, the Senate, and the White House, get unified control of the government, they might try to do that." "We don't know the answer to that. It's hypothetical. But what I will tell you is there are not the votes to nuke the filibuster in the United States Senate today." "It has protected Republicans through the years, conservative principles and priorities, by requiring a supermajority to get things done in the United States Senate. That's the way the founders designed it."
