Trump is growing tired of hearing 'no' from Thune. GOP senators are lining up behind the majority leader

President Donald Trump may be the head of the Republican Party, but when it comes to the Senate, Majority Leader John Thune is still in charge.

Trump, who will attend lunch with Senate Republicans at the US Capitol on Wednesday, is growing tired of hearing "no" from the Senate leader as he pushes certain controversial priorities, according to people familiar with his thinking. But Thune is sitting on as much support as any leader could with less than five months until the midterms, and is surrounded by some emboldened colleagues who are more willing than they have been in years to take on the Republican administration.

In more than a dozen interviews with Senate staff and members, Thune's GOP colleagues contend it's been a precarious stretch for the majority leader as he has been forced to disarm one Trump-devised political grenade after another. But if Trump is frustrated that Thune doesn't follow orders, many of the South Dakota lawmaker's colleagues are grateful the majority leader is willing to risk his own political future with the president to ensure the party has a fighting chance at holding its majority.

For the next several months, Thune must continue walking that tightrope between loyalty to a president who demands it and protection of an institution and colleagues who are facing their own political headwinds.

1. Walking a tightrope? How about going ahead and check in the constitution you lazy bums

I read the headline, hoping it was accurate. I doubt it, though they do tend to become a little more “emboldened”when they’re out of the race due to a maga in their primary.
