You have to constantly keep kicking republicans in the arse to get them to man up.

Getting Barr through the Senate was difficult enough, with his nomination accruing just 54 votes, including the support of three Democrats — one of the most partisan confirmations of any attorney general.

If Trump were to ditch Barr, or if the attorney general resigned, the Senate would be unlikely to confirm a successor “any time soon,” Cornyn predicted. Republicans are fighting to save their Senate majority and reelect Trump in November, and having to handle a new nominee amid Trump's interference with DOJ would be unwelcome in GOP circles and require vulnerable senators to take a potentially tough confirmation vote.
