In view of this parade of unfit terribles, I wonder if Thune might start almost hoping for one long recess. Where Trump can go ahead with his single handed approach to the appointments. And Thune's senate will never have to share in the blame. So much for advise and consent. But what a relief not to have had to participate. I can see how he could get desperate enough to almost hope for that scenario.

And in explanation, he might say the "Democrats made us do it" because of their partisan obstruction to the "mandate" of the voters.

Yes, that could be another escape mechanism. Thune must be wondering why he agreed to oversee this whole mess.
