They want THEIR staff at State to be able to keep running things without interference from a Trump appointee.
If they won’t approve him as SecState, he is still head of CIA. Trump can just use him as defacto SecState. As he racks up successes it will at some point become too much of an embarrassment to the Dems and they’ll have to concede reality.
Until them, ignore them. Let Pompeo continue to act as head of State. If anyone doesn’t obey him, Trump can fire them.
Shameful - to dims!!
Anti-gay bias - hate monger!!!!
Yes, they hate his Christianity, and Sen. Cory Booker hates him for his past stand against gay marriage. The Dems love secularism, abortion and homosexuality. Thus, they hate Pompeo.
He supports traditional marriage (gasp!). The unmarried senator from New Jersey was grilling him about it last week.
And this is the party of Jefferson, Truman, Kennedy? The Democrat party should be on the tv commercial, Help! I’ve fallen and can’t get up!
President Trump and Pompeo are both carry a big freaking stick and are ready to use it without the right response from Rocket Man.
President Trump goated Rocket Man into threatening the U.S. with nuclear weapons. Bad move RM. Justification for fire and brimstone.
I had read similar... that he was not in Gulf War but had indicated he had served in Gulf.
And isn’t goofy Rand Paul saying he won’t vote on Pompeo even after Trump spoke with Rand? I haven’t read why Rand is against Pompeo... other than being a drama, attention seeking queen.
There’s that, and the question how a top West Point cadet washes out of the military in less than five years.
Let’s see - Pompeo has a secret meeting with the nutjob leader of North Korea and three weeks later that leader announces that he’s abandoning testing on more missiles and shutting down a main development center, and is willing to discuss abandoning his intentions for a nuclear NoKo - only a Democrat would be stupid enough to try deny the job of Secretary of State to a man with that bit of credentialing.....
And, apparently, Rand Paul. If Pompaeo’s nomination goes down, this will be a major gift to Kin Jong Un and a victory for those who so hate Trump, they would blow up the NoKo talks.
