The Senate GOP’s selection of John Thune as Majority Leader is yet another slap in the face to conservatives who demand leadership that reflects the will of the people, not the establishment swamp.
DC Draino said it best.
Crazy how MAGA won a massive landslide victory across all branches of government and our biggest obstacle thus far are Republican Senators themselves
These sellouts deserve everything coming their way

Thune’s victory last week underscored the grip that neocons and RINOs still hold over the Republican Party.
With a secret ballot vote tally of 29 for Thune and 24 for John Cornyn, the party has once again sidelined America First voices, including Rick Scott, who was eliminated in the first round after garnering just 13 votes.
This result leaves conservatives asking: who are the faceless senators undermining the movement?
After the vote on Wednesday, Amy Kremer posted this list of the Republican Senators who voted for Rick Scott.
Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)
Ted Cruz (R-TX)
Bill Hagerty (R-TN)
Ron Johnson (R-WI)
Mike Lee (R-UT)
Cynthia Lummis (R-WY)
Rand Paul (R-KY)
Marco Rubio (R-FL)
Eric Schmitt (R-MO)
Rick Scott (R-FL)
Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS)
Tommy Tuberville (R-AL)
JD Vance (R-OH)
The rest of the Republican senators either voted for John Cornyn or John Thune, two committed RINOs who have no regard for the will of their voters.
Thune’s record is as anti-Trump as it gets. Who could forget when he called for Donald Trump to drop out of the 2016 race following the Access Hollywood tape, suggesting Mike Pence as the Republican nominee? A move like that would have handed the presidency to Hillary Clinton on a silver platter.
And now, Thune—a McConnell protégé—takes the reins as Majority Leader.
The betrayal doesn’t stop there. As many as 30 Republican senators are reportedly planning to vote against Trump’s nomination of Matt Gaetz as Attorney General.
Gaetz, a fearless defender of the Constitution, has been tapped by Trump to clean up the Department of Justice and end its weaponization against conservatives.
Predictably, the likes of Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins—the left wing of the GOP—have already voiced their opposition. Republican Senator John Cornyn also said he “absolutely” wants to review the House Ethics Committee’s investigation of Matt Gaetz.
But these three are just the tip of the iceberg in a Senate conference teeming with silent saboteurs.
Also, The Hill reported that these 9 senators are most likely to obstruct Trump’s cabinet appointments:
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Joni Ernst (R-IA)
Todd Young (R-IN)
Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
Susan Collins (R-ME)
Thom Tillis (R-NC)
John Cornyn (R-TX)
John Curtis (R-UT)
The GOP has purged anti-Trump RINOs before. Look no further than the historic defeat of Liz Cheney, who lost her seat by a humiliating margin. Now it’s time to bring that same energy to the Senate.
In 2026, 33 Senate seats will be up for grabs, including those held by some of the worst offenders.
Of these seats, 20 are held by Republicans and 13 by Democrats, according to Newsweek.
This is our chance to send a clear message: support the MAGA movement or face the wrath of the voters.
The Republican senators running for reelection in 2026 who are not listed in the group of senators who allegedly voted for Rick Scott and are most likely to obstruct Trump’s cabinet appointments are:
Dan Sullivan (R-AK)
Tom Cotton (R-AR)
Jim Risch (R-ID)
Joni Ernst (R-IA)
Roger Marshall (R-KS)
Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
Susan Collins (R-ME)
Steve Daines (R-MT)
Thom Tillis (R-NC)
James Lankford (R-OK)
Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
Mike Rounds (R-SD)
John Cornyn (R-TX)
Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)

It’s time to primary the swamp creatures and remind them who they work for—the American people.
The MAGA movement is not going anywhere. With Trump’s leadership and the power of the grassroots, it’s time to reclaim the Republican Party and root out the neocons and RINOs once and for all.
Conservatives must stay vigilant, identify weak links in the party, and ensure 2026 becomes a year of reckoning. The future of America demands nothing less.
