What makes this guy worth voting for?
You don't like him for one!
Playing dumb about a nominee who has been know for weeks is not a good look.
I don't love or hate the guy. Hence my question, why should they vote for him? That's not a partisan question.
Did you have issues with Austin? He was confirmed 93-2.
What about Pete Buttigieg, who's primary qualification was that he was gay and a mayor of a mid sized town? He was confirmed 86-13.
What about Anthony Blinken, the architect of the Hunter laptop letter that has been proven to be a political misinformation scheme? He was confirmed 78-22.
What about Mayorkas, who has picked and chosen what laws to enforce, thereby violating his oath of office? He was confirmed 56-43.
Let's not forget Merrick Garland, the most openly political AG in history who ushered in lawfare on the opposition. He was confirmed 70-30.
NONE of these people were denied consent. So it seems to me that the only time we have calls for denial of consent is when Republicans are being considered. So who are the partisans, again?
Yes, the Republicans should give Trump his first choices and if they do not work out that is on Trump. Exactly as was done for Biden.
Why should they give him anything they want?
As I said above. He's the leader of their party and it's what their constituents voted for. Every GOP senator comes from a state that elected Trump.
