***considerable concern that Representative John Ratcliffe will replace him***

I told my son that John Ratcliff would be the right replacement for Coats... almost inevitable. (Ratcliff can be replaced in the House by a Repub governor; Devin Nunes would lose the Fornicalia seat for the pubbies.) Look at the reaction of the DS, the MSM! 👎

Who knew that Ratcliff was so inexperienced and uninformed? 😂

Ratcliff can be replaced in the House by a Repub governor...

No, he can't. House seats can only be filled by election. The governor of California would set the date for a special election to fill that seat.

Governor of Texas, not California.

HOW DID WE NOT SEE THIS BEFORE??

So obvious. Ugh. Kicking myself.

Coats before DECLASS

We have to remove the blockade to DECLAS by removing the DNI. Then we can DECLAS. Duh.

House members are replaced by special election. Only Senators can be replaced by an appointment by the Governor. But what I've read is that Ratcliffe's district is rock solid red.
