None of this BS matters. It is who Trump wants. He gets who he wants and Republicans need to fall in line and vote along party lines.
Not quite.
Quote:
[The President] shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law
US Constitution, Article II, Section 2
To paraphrase Brendan Sullivan (Oliver North's attorney), the Senate is not a potted plant. They are not there merely to rubber stamp every appointment Trump makes. No doubt, the vast majority will be approved, but Gaetz looks to be the rare exception (probably the only exception of the ones announced so far).
Trump won in a landslide. The Republicans should confirm Donald Duck if Trump asks them to do so.
And do you want a Republican form of government where each state's representatives do the will of their state, or one where one man calls all the shots?
To be honest, I like most of trumps picks but Gaetz is one I don't like. If Cruz or cornyn voted against him, it wouldn't bother me. If they think he's good to go, I'm fine with that too. If crux or cornyn were too scared to tell Trump no, that would be a problem.
Look the AG is Trump's most important pick from his perspective.
He got F'd over by his 2 picks his 1st term and then the dems confirmed Garland who spent 4 years engaged in lawfare against Trump and supporting liberal state prosecutors doing the same.
The dems started the weaponization of the DOJ with Obama and Holder.
I'm glad you like the other picks but Trump gets HIS guy in the DOJ. End of story.
I get that, but Matt Gaetz as AG isn't like some allstar pick. There are other people loyal to Trump that can do just as good of a job, if not better. If (and right now it's still an if) Gaetz did the things he's accused of, it's fair for senators to have reservations and asking politicians to blindly give Trump what he wants is a step too far for me.
He's definitely an all star pick.
How? Because he hates the establishment? There are other guys out there that hate the establishment too and they have more discipline than Gaetz does. What else has Gaetz shown that makes anyone think he's the one and only best option for AG?
If Gaetz become AG, then fine. We'll see how it goes. I'm not staunchly against him, but the idea that one man should have the power to do whatever he wants because he won by a lot is the inverse of how we should want our government run.
No because he has demonstrated he goes after the establishment, doesn't take bribes and funding from the typical swap sources, is loyal to trump, and feared enough by the enemy to have been ****ed with non stop through his entire legislative career.... kind of like another guy that just won the Presidency.
Oh and despite what you read and what you think, he's sharp as a tack.
So in your opinion, no one else out there exists that could do better than him? He is truly the best option for AG?
This is idiotic. Of course there is. But this is the dude that Trump wants. My god, Trump has 34 felony convictions. Do you think the actual voters care about Gaetz's background. This is political creatures and the mushy Republicans doing what they always do.
The dems never have this issue.
Honestly, I would rather just cuts out the centrist Republicans from the party. Other than votes, they are a net negative once we have actual power. I'd rather just ballot harvest from Bubba and the rednecks and cut you guys.
