This political cartoon says it all.
At some point, Republican voters are going to need a real answer from Senate GOP leadership.
Are they failing because they lack the spine to fight, or are they failing because they never actually wanted to deliver the agenda voters demanded in the first place?
Because those are the only two choices left.
The American people did not vote for more excuses. They did not vote for endless process talk. They did not vote for “maybe later,” “not enough votes,” or “we are working on it behind the scenes.”
They voted for action.
They voted for border security, election integrity, accountability, spending restraint, and an end to the political games that have been wrecking this country for years.
And that brings us directly to the SAVE Act.
This should not be complicated. American elections should be for American citizens. Period. That is not extreme. That is not controversial. That is basic common sense.
So why is Senate Republican leadership not making this an all-out fight?
Why is John Thune not forcing the issue every single day?
Why are Republican senators so often better at explaining why something cannot be done than they are at actually doing what their own voters sent them there to do?
This is exactly why so many Americans are furious with Washington.
Democrats tell you what they want and fight like hell for it. Republicans campaign like warriors, then too often govern like hall monitors who are afraid of getting in trouble.
The cartoon works because it hits the nerve everyone already feels.
Either the GOP Senate leadership dropped its spine, or it never had one.
And if they are not willing to fight for something as basic as protecting American elections, then voters have every right to ask what exactly they are doing there.
So which is it, Thune?
