Political capital only matters when the other side is willing to compromise. All of their side and 10% of "ours" is positively terrified that their opulent way of life is about to come to an end.

Shouldn't have done it how he did it but the dude is not a traitor. If anything, the man is a Patriot.

He should be given a pardon right now.

Everyone one of them on the list is going to get hammered.

That’s debatable. At the same time, he didn’t have much of a choice and kind of a bitch. He was a sacrificial lamb for change but he is not clean by any means. He’s as innocent as he is guilty. The question was by design, Tulsi could have exhibited some flexibility by admitting he was a traitor, which she was essentially doing, but in failing to do so made every questionable move on her part amplified. I appreciate her honor to her word but politics is far from a principled practice and she is looking for votes. To be head of intelligence is far different from other cabinet positions and these fricks hold the keys. If you can’t play them then where is my confidence you can play the world?

Btw, I think she would be awesome at the position. I would vote yes for her.

I cant imagine at-risk RINOs would pick now to frick with Trump. Seems like an insane hill to die on.

I was afraid to say I thought she was low-key cute earlier.

Thanks for making it OK.

I’m curious how many Democrats voted against Democrat nominees nominated by Obama and Biden since 08. My guess is very very few if any. This is why Democrats kick Republican’s asses.

If it weren’t for Trump we’d have another Dem POTUS right now. Every one of these RINOs need to be primaried, plus Cassidy!

Doesn’t that just mean he will vote to bring her to the floor for a complete vote like McConnell did for Hegseth but then voted no in the final vote?

Cornyn and Collins already stated they are voting for her. Thune I feel certain will also. I think she will get 1 D vote.

ETA: Collins just hinted she thinks she'll get in, not necessarily she is voting for her, my bad on that.

Trump really needs help from Johnson. The main fallout for these RINOS, besides the right people being in the right job, is that it makes the arrogant senators look weak. For that alone it needs to happen.

It would also strengthen Johnson, and for that reason, the dumbass probably won’t do it. It requires spine.

Why can the dems always get their DEI picks rammed through, even with Repubs, but republicucks aways torpedo each other?

I'm not a bit afraid to say she is low-key cute. In fact I think she is more than low-key cute. I think she is pretty darn desirable!
