Senate Majority Leader and South Dakota Sen. John Thune has predicted a mutiny in the Democrat Party, with enough Democrat senators joining Republicans to reopen the government as soon as Wednesday.
“I honestly, you know, I think there are a lot of them over there who know that their leadership is walking them off the cliff and really want to do something other than follow the leader,” he said to Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday.
“But they are under so much pressure from the political left in this country. As you pointed out, all those special interest groups that (Senate Minority Leader Charles) Schumer has been coordinating with on message on this. They’re simply I think they’re stuck and they don’t have an identity right now. And this is just an example that they really don’t know what they’re doing,” he said.
“So they’re trying to save face with the base and blow the government up. And when they eventually come around, which they have to do, what’s the base going to say then?” the host asked.
