My Take
What strikes me about Thune is the geography of his rise. He came out of Pierre, a quiet capital in the middle of South Dakota, and climbed all the way to Senate majority leader, which is no small distance to travel. I read his Biola University background and his stint as a railway executive as signs of someone who values steadiness over flash. Whatever one makes of his politics, I respect the patience it takes to build that kind of standing from the interior of the country rather than the usual coastal launch pads. He reads to me as a builder, not a showman.
