Donald Trump is making this easy on Thune by telling him not to send any legislation until the Save Act is passed. It seems to me there is little wiggle room, but politicians always seem to find loopholes when needed. We need the Save Act passed to kill the fraud from the progressives.
Everyone knows there is fraud, but the Mainstream Media will not put this front and center in the news, so the Save Act will bypass the censorship by the left. All IMO.

“... The ostensible reason the Democrats give is that certain...um...“demographics” (i.e.,
minorities and married women) are too stupid to get an appropriate ID. Passing
the SAVE Act, they say, would deny these people their civil liberties. Nobody
except the most extreme members of the Democrat base actually believes this.
As for the Republicans who will not put the SAVE Act to a
vote, Senate Majority Leader John Thune spoke for all of them when he said that
the only way for a vote even to be possible is to force Democrats to engage in
a “speaking filibuster.” What’s a “speaking filibuster”?
For a long time now, filibustering has been done ... You essentially
announce that, given the chance, you would stand there and talk forever, ...
It’s a kind of buddy-buddy thing, where no one is
inconvenienced, no one has to stand for their principles, and no one takes
responsibility for depriving the American people of something they very badly
want to see the government do.
That mindset is how we got Thune announcing in February that
he wasn’t going to bring the SAVE Act to the floor because there’s just so much
other business Congress needs to get to, never mind that, as I said, without
the SAVE Act, our government is meaningless:
That’s a bluff from a man who doesn’t want to rock the boat.
However, with the clock ticking toward November, Trump has just called
his bluff
Now, Thune need not fear that a speaking filibuster will
stop other Senate business. Until the SAVE Act is put to a vote (and again,
this is what the American people want), there is no other Senate business.
Now get out your popcorn as the Democrats begin explaining
at great length how stupid they think the American people are.”
