If Cornyn goes the McCain route even more than he already has he is setting himself up to be taken out in 2 years. Hope we can make it happen this time.FireAg said:
Cornyn is anti-Trump, and pissed about not getting Maj Leader…
Cornyn also probably knows there is going to be a concerted , well-funded effort to primary his ass in a couple of years…
Cornyn is part of the problem…and I bet he knows he's on the wrong side of momentum on this…

What pisses me off most about Cornyn is he wasn't like this as Texas AG. He truly changed after getting to DC.
The quintessential swamp conversion. Got to DC, and decided he liked the power and wealth the swamp afforded him.
These GOP Senators will fall in line, they have less power than they think they do and can be maneuvered around if necessary.

I am stating unequivocally that I will vote against Cronyn when he is up for election next.

We'll see how this goes, but if Trump throws his weight behind an opponent and Elon helps fund it, could be a short run left for Cornyn

Because there is no way I'm voting for a (D), even against Cornyn.

Its already come out that 10 GOP senators oppose him. Checks and balances ladies and gentleman.
They need to be careful with the recess appointments. Trump still needs Congress to pass his agenda. If he railroads them, then he will face more opposition.
Elon has your checks and balances right here:
Want to oppose Gaetz? Enjoy retirement.

It's rather ironic that he's using a completely unethical rad lefty as the source for truth in making the case against an "unethical" Gaetz.
Cornyn must go . If he's successful and gets the block , Desantis will appoint him to the Senate in Rubio's seat.
He'll have an enemy on the same side of the aisle forevermore.

I don't vote in Texas anymore but I would vote against him as well.....in the primary. If he is re-nominated, I would vote for him since he's still be 100x better than any Democrat.

REPORT: The “damaging” ethics report on Matt Gaetz is set to “leak” soon.

It was supposed to remain under wraps because he is no longer a congressman. https://t.co/OPHONgXP6B
Of course it will. People need to go to jail for this stuff.will25u said:REPORT: The “damaging” ethics report on Matt Gaetz is set to “leak” soon.

What I’m hearing privately from a few key GOP senators: yes, they’d prefer to not have a messy fight over Gaetz. Not their favorite. But they also don’t have a lot of energy for pushing back. Trump runs the show, they say. If Gaetz can reassure them, they’re open to backing him.

Why do you think DeSantis likes Gaetz?
A new senator will be appointed before the Gaetz confirmation.
my initial thought was that Trump would get in all the people he wanted, but Gaetz may be a bridge too far.1836er said:

Aw crap! My worst fears confirmed. Boris has run off a lot of Trump's best lawyers in the last few years. And end round running Susie Wiles in the process?TRM said:

This is literally why Susie Wiles was such a great pick. I would have a hard time believing that she would support Gaetz for AG.
I would assume it's people like Gatez that we she was referring to when referencing "keeping the clown car out".

Trump gonna Trump. Love it. Embrace it. It's who he's always proven to be. He's not going to change.
At this point it's what we all voted for. Just gotta trust him.
If he thinks he'll be an asset to trump then he better thought of doing something else with his life cause trump won't give him the power he thinks he'll be holding

The same Susie that was out of the loop, if you believe this screenshot?!
Is this going to turn out like all the other crap they've thrown against the wall about supposed internal dealings of Trump world? Don't trust politco anymore than any other DC mouthpiece rag

That's my point. He shouldn't bypass his chief of staff on a pick this controversial. She is good for him, if he'll allow her to be.
The other question raised is how much was DeSantis in the loop here, if at all? Seems to me Susie would have been that contact with him, since she did work for him before.
Do you have evidence this happened? Was it before or after he grabbed the steering wheel in The Beast?rathAG05 said:

They've lied about him consistently.

We'll find out soon enough. Susie isn't going to hang around very long if Trump starts cutting her out of the process. She set her boundaries and I don't anticipate she'll back off from them.
I would not put much stock in any supposedly inside reports coming out regarding the innerworkings of the transition team.
Of course the media is trying to create false narratives about discord/disfunction in the Trump team... it's what they do.
Now that they've lost the election they're moving on to trying to undermine the transition. When that fails they will move on to trying to undermine the administration.

Gaetz has been a loyal Trump supporter and is being rewarded with this nomination.
Given that the nomination is likely DOA, this was likely done as a way to reward Gaetz for being a loyalist, and give him an excuse to resign and keep the House from releasing the report on him and subsequently have to face the firestorm on that (hence Gaetz immediately resigning his seat).
He will either be rejected by the Senate or he will be recess appointed which will give him cover for a while and allow him to keep collecting a federal paycheck for a bit longer.

With all the information coming out right now, this seems to make the most sense. Help the guy get out of his jam and then appoint someone else.
