FTA: "
Senators voted 57-42, just over the simple majority needed for approval by the chamber."
Since when is more than 57% just over a simple majority?
To: Bubba_Leroy
In an election, that would be a landslide.

“Since when is more than 57% just over a simple majority? “
Consider the source, it’s “The Hill!” Actually, that’s a misnomer, because it’s really “A Pile of Liberal Crap.”

"The Senate narrowly confirmed..."
Narrowly? There's 15 votes difference. If Pompeo was a Demoncrat, the press would claim he'd been overwhelmingly approved. What douche bags.

I get it now. Jackson was bait to draw the press away from Pompeo.

“Simple majority” means you need 51 votes. They got 57 votes. 6 votes is very narrow. Its not a 15 vote difference as you claim.

Senators voted 57-42, just over the simple majority needed for approval by the chamber. Yeah, he barely squeaked by. What is it with these clowns?
To: Billthedrill
I wonder which Democrats will be drawn and quartered over their vote to confirm.

If they wanted to make a negative comment, they should have said that there were only 3 votes against Kerry and only 2 against Hillary, and the Pompeo didn’t “breeze through” the confirmation as they did. Maybe they should require a logic course for a journalism segree.

The Dems have OBVIOUSLY focus-group tested their obstruction, obstruction, obstruction, policies and found it doesn’t do too well...when elections are on the way.
