President-elect Donald Trump has nominated a bunch of strong individuals to be in his cabinet, and right away in the confirmation hearings various Democrat Senators started going after some nominees with innuendo and a bunch of “gotcha questions.”
From my perspective it became obvious almost right away that the Trump nominees were the smart folks and some of the Senate Democrats who were asking the questions were like what the cat dragged in! After the first few days of questions the main issue appeared to be … “which of the questioning Democrat Senators was the dumbest!” Granted my take may be biased, but my vote goes to Mazie Hirono from Hawaii. FYI: Megyn Kelly chose the new Senator from Michigan, Elissa Slotkin, for the worst of the worst. Of course Pocahontas from Massachusetts was right up there as expected! Others have picked Senators Tim Kaine from Virginia. So many to choose from!
The toughest sells — former Democrats Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, to serve as secretary of health and human services and director of national intelligence, respectively, and Kash Patel for director of the FBI — haven’t yet had confirmation hearings.
Be that as it may, the important takeaway from the questions hurled at the nominees by the various above noted yo-yo Senators is … “Is any Republican Senator going to want to be identified as the one who sided with the likes of Hirono, Kaine, Warren, or Slotkin?
Going out on a limb … I am going to predict that all of Trump’s nominees will be confirmed.
