Welcome back to another edition of "Stream of Kurtiousness!" I'm packing for our big Townhall cruise ready to set sail this weekend, and I'm really looking forward to it. Before that, though, I'd like to express my displeasure with the Republican Party. Mike Johnson did the admirable thing and stepped down from leadership after our epic losses in the midterms. He did a great job as Leader with an extremely small majority, but still understands things must change after the shellacking we took. On the contrary, John Thune, who is despised by the base and Republicans who ended up voting for Democrats, decided he should stay in his exact role. John Thune lacks the self-reflection needed in politics. It shows his lack of character. His talking points are still straight out of 2024, and he's not the fighter we need. One can make all of the arguments as how he did a decent job, and even if I were to agree with them, the job is results driven and he didn't deliver. Jim Banks, Dave McCormick, and others would have been a huge improvement. Until Republicans learn this lesson, I'm not sure things can change.
