From Twitter, via Morning Consult, stick a fork in Bruce Whalen, Bruce Mowry, and the other guy whose name nobody remembers. US Senator John Thune’s popularity among Republican voters has surged from 69% to nearly 90%:
Despite Trump’s calls for a primary challenger, John Thune of South Dakota has seen a sharper recovery among GOP voters than any other Senate Republican up for re-election next year. https://t.co/DbxX8H3M4j pic.twitter.com/uRRt72Ej5I

“Polling conducted in the third quarter of Biden’s presidency found that 88 percent of Republicans in the Mount Rushmore State approve of Thune’s job performance, up from 69 percent in the first quarter of the year. This marks the best quarterly improvement of any governor or senator up for re-election in 2022, according to surveys in each state conducted from Jan. 21, Biden’s first full day in office, through Oct. 20. This leaves Thune roughly matching Noem’s popularity among GOP voters in the state (86 percent approval), though they are less likely to strongly approve of their senior senator than they are their governor (33 percent to 53 percent).”
Yeah. None of those guys are going to even come close to touching this.
Don’t let Republicans like John Thune fool you. They add amendments that benefit their donors to Democratic bills then vote against the final product knowing those bills will pass. Little wonder they face primary challengers because even the extreme white wing of that party knows hypocrisy when they see it.
John is a good man and he’s always fighting the good fight for conservatives in the Senate. We’re lucky to have him.
John is a positive force. Whenever I see him he knows my name and asks how he can help and he just has the right values for me. I glad to see this
The article is definitely worth a read and only gets more interesting when it dives into other races such as the Alaska U.S. Senate and Georgia gubernatorial races.

So, you’re saying he has something in common with .. um .. well.
South Dakota is Trump Country.

Trump’s glory days behind him.
He showed contempt for the Trump supporters in January. He probably will win but he has lost my respect and vote.
And nothing of value was lost
He showed contempt for rioters. He supported the constitution, listened to the republican govs and sos and Trump’s AG. He gained my respect and vote.
