McConnell, Graham, Burr etc came out very strongly against Ratcliffe the first time his name was put forward. I read somewhere that McConnell visited POTUS in the WH either yesterday or today.
I am betting POTUS had to trade something to get this nomination.
Can we say FISA renewal?
If Trump had to ‘make a deal’, do you trust him to make the best deal possible?
When did that happen?
It’s a possibility.
Ratcliffe is needed as DNI. Trump has the votes.

Very possible.
DJT is well within his rights to explain to Graham, McConnel or any other obstructionists:
"Look, a*holes, I've listened to you guys for too long, accepting your recomendations and look what the hell it's bought me ! Frikn' nothing but traitors. This crap stops now. He's my man, now confirm him or else.

I can see where those 3 would be scared to have a legit operator at DNI.
