Gaetz will withdraw before he even gets to hearings.

I think we have some strategy at play here from Trump.

He's not stupid. He knows some of these more controversial picks will not get through but he might get a couple. And for the ones that don't, his second pick he may want more than the first.

And give Elon a shout out. He already said he would help.

Only a moderate Republican can win in Maine. Regardless, she is 71 & unlikely to run for another term. The Dems are likely to take over that seat once Collins retires

This is why the co-opted, infiltrated, gatekeeping, American right wing only loses


The left pushes their radicals to the highest offices, the right cancels them for virtue signals

I'd like to know who she finds acceptable.


Anyone who wouldn’t potentially hold her Dem “colleagues” accountable and make them mad at her.

I told you a NE Republican is a cowardly Democrat.

This is great, they’re just letting us know who they really are! I hope they all tweet their opposition. We know who to primary!

The moderates will save us from this horrible selection…bravo Susan bravo


They aren’t going to “save” you liberals this time. Murkowski and Collins are no longer a factor with 53 senators on the good guys’ team

Nasty count. RINO's need to be primaried.
She won't run in 2026 and her seat will flip to a Democrat. It doesn't matter, though, because she can't be counted on for any vote, just like Murkowski.

Boy, it sure didn't take long for the RINOs to start showing they will never change their old ways...

Collins is the best we can do in Maine. If she can't win, you'll get a die hard Dem in her place.


You may as well rip the bandaid off and make it official. She's already 100% a democrat anyway.

agree.

This is a "smoke them out" selection.

I agree with the other thread, I don't think Gaetz is smart enough to be AG. However, simultaneously, that's not why these people are opposed to him. They are opposed to him because he is aggressively opposed to even the existence of a RINO.

To him they are the enemy within, and he doesn't hide it. To RINOs he is the enemy within and they do their damndest to hide it.

That's why they are opposed to him. He's so aggressive they can't manipulate him.

Elon is current worth right at $300 billion.

He’s already said he’s willing to spend whatever it will take to primary anyone that stands in the way of Trump’s agenda.

Bye Susan. Get the frick out!
