And another one from the House. Johnson is going to have the worst job in DC.

what do mean Hawg?

If I understand her right, I agree with her. What she means is that the house, if we win it, we will hold by a razor-thin margin.

Trump has now nominated three Republican house members for positions in his cabinet.

That leaves us absolutely zero room for error until the special elections can take place and then HOPEFULLY they will all be replaced by other Republicans.

Frankly, I think he is starting to play with fire here. Holding the house is EVERYTHING to implement his agenda.


Im pretty sure people are advising trump on his political strategies here. If he felt he would lose the house he wouldnt do it.

This is one of the names that sends Dems into an absolute frenzy. Even more so than usual.

It's not about losing the house, it's about the margin of error.

Republicans can't vote together on anything. The one thing I can say for Democrats is that they move in lockstep.

If we hold the majority with, say, 221 seats and three are not there to vote, we have literally zero room for error.

And you can bet that the Democrats will get to at least one rino Republican with all kinds of incentives to oppose Trump's agenda.

I don't like Gaetz, but he is a bulldog.

Trump messed up appointing Sessions in his first term who then rolled over for the Dems seeking a bloodless coup.

For better or worse, Gaetz would be Trump's bulldog like Holder was for Obama.

I think the guy will be tough, impartial and fair.

He still defends Swallwell against the Chinese spy accusations and has a very logical argument as to why.

This is what Sean Spicer was talking about this morning when he said if people were complaining about the Department of Defense selection just wait.

Would Trump throw someone horribly controversial out there now in order to get his real choice in?

agreed. but I am all in because. 1) not in the house anymore causing issue 2) Dems are going to go ballistic.

But I do feel this choice will be rejected in the end. Dems hate him, and you know several (House and) Senate republicans do as well.

Per this X post. Did I miss something:

Good grief. That guy is insufferable. The silver lining is that Trump will likely turn over a few of the appointments....if history is any indication. Gaetz is a showboat and not up for that task. But then we're all full of opinions. Just surprising given the myriad of well qualified candidates. I will say that I don't doubt that Gaetz will do absolutely anything Trump tells him too, legal or not.

Did he get cleared by the House Ethics Committee? I have a hard time believing Murkowski, Collins, and some of the moderates going along with this otherwise.

Exactly. There goes any first 100 day agenda. So Desantis can name Rubio's replacement qucikly. But to be able to call for a special election, there needs to be a vacancy, meaning resigning before confirmation. Or if they choose to wait to resign until after confirmation? DeSantis could be faced with calling two special elections and cannot be held on the same day for obvious reasons.

Now who will be determining the order of these confirmation hearings? Thune. This could go sideways very fast.

Qualification pales in comparison to loyalty. Trump has to be sure his appointments will do whatever he asks them to without pause or question. If they won't then it doesn't matter how "qualified" they are. He learned from his last term.

That was going to be my second guess. The cabinet meetings would be lit, as Boobs and Greene hate each other's guts.
