Thune – 23
Cornyn – 15
Scott – 13

Thune is also a longtime neocon and McConnell ally. He also has anti-Trump credentials that almost make Cornyn look reasonable.

Here is a video published by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) showing how deep Thune’s disdain for Trump runs.

Senator John Thune has consistently shown that he does not support President Trump’s agenda, and his track record reflects that. The Senate deserves a majority leader who is committed to serving the will of the people, not the Uniparty. I believe that leader is @SenRickScott! pic.twitter.com/dpEYzQSrin

Thune also demanded Trump drop out the 2016 Presidential race following the release of the Access Hollywood tape one month before the election so Mike Pence could take his place. Our country would have been completely screwed under either Pence or Crooked Hillary Clinton.
