the DEMs lose a lot of capital if they deny his waiver

I honestly wonder if these confirmation hearings are more for the political blowhard senators to hog the spotlight and make political speeches rather than to vet the nominee.

Does McCain ever STFU?

if this hearing is dominated by McCain i don't think i can take it

I wish McCain would shut the hell up and let the General give his opening statement.

I read that there's some sort of policy that no one can hold an appointed position at the pentagon until 7 years after they leave the military

That's exactly what they're for. The decision on whether the candidates would be approved happened long ago. This is pure political theater.

McCain "You need to trust us to help you make the right decisions."
ROFL. Thousands of troops trust Mattis more than any sniveling political bureaucrat.

that can be waived, which is why i said "if they deny his waiver"
if he had no issues with the timelines, he couldn't be blocked b/c of Reid's nuclear option
but they CAN filibuster the waiver issue
