That’s helpful.
Now all he needs in Colin Powell and he is in Like Gen. Flynn.
Who gives a crap what she thinks?
Who cares?
I do.
Ya think maybe Jeff Sessions?
Thank you, Ms Rice. You’re doing the right thing.
And who gives a crap what you think? Sessions will get confirmed. His integrity and competence are unquestioned. He ran unopposed during his last reelection run. Sessions is the most knowledgeable person in Congress when it comes to immigration. Having Bush flaks like Rice endorsing him matters little. The sooner we can rid ourselves of the Bushes and their sycophants, the better. Powell and Rice need to move publicly to the Dem party. They are Democrats in all but name.
he most surely does, but that begs the question of why even have these hearings, just DEEM him Confirmed. It worked for Obamacare and Harry Reid would NEVER allow Republicans to do this sort of grandstanding.
I still don’t understand why McConnell ALLOWS ANY Demonrats on the committee in the first place.
During a press conference this morning, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said John McCain was “gracious” and “a great patriot,” while Barack Obama was “inspirational” and “will continue to be.” A jubilant Rice added that she was proud of her country — “it continues to surprise…it continues to beat all odds and expectations.” She concluded, “On a personal note, as an African-American, I’m especially proud.”
Rice never openly endorsed McCain during the campaign (Secretaries of State traditionally do not engage in partisan conduct). And she offered a less-than-hearty praise for Sarah Palin during the campaign.
Condi must be a racist.
That must be it. :)
The "deemed passed" thing was only mentioned - they didn't actually go through with it (but the fact they would even suggest such a thing spoke volumes). Cabinet appointments have to be confirmed by the Senate - that is mandated by the Constitution. Harry Reid couldn't control any "grandstanding" but it generally did not occur because it is childish and stupid...not a character trait I want among our own party if we can avoid it. Lindsey Graham and company have that going for them.

How is that McConnell's province to "allow" or disallow?

Here is the membership of the Committee. Unbelievable the Democrats would put Al Franken on such a committee...then again I guess it isn’t for them. I wish the other Senator from South Carolina was on there instead for more reasons than one.
HOORAY Condoleezza Rice.
HOORAY Jeff Sessions. Thank you, sir.
Quite a relevant thing to point out here on this thread - I guess you believe that must mean Trump screwed up by appointing Sessions since she has come out to support him in the face of the Left trying to smear his name and reputation with false charges of racism. Do you believe Trump should now withdraw the nomination since Rice has come out to have the nominee’s back after she sees him being smeared?
You saw it, it wasn’t strategic consideration jump-posting like that, it was natural reflexes.
