The 6 Republican senators who could sink a Trump nomination
Fox ^ | 11/16/2024 | Spady

President-elect Trump is rounding out his administration with cabinet nominations, but their confirmation ultimately relies on support from linchpins in the Senate who could be skeptical of his appointees.

While the incoming president has the power to appoint members to his Cabinet, it is ultimately up to Congress to have the final say in whether they are confirmed to the positions through a confirmation process.

While the GOP will hold the majority in the next Congress, however, Senate confirmation could hang on a few key Republicans who have expressed mixed feelings about Trump's cabinet selections.

Some of the same names over and over…ad nauseam.

I notice McConnell on his way out (soon hopefully) is being replaced by the new RINO standard bearer in the Midwest—-Todd Young.

The nation, overwhelmingly, asked to revamp Washington DC and go with Trump’s policies. People don’t necessarily love the person Donald Trump, but virtually all Americans agree with his policies if they don’t know who spouted them. The RHINO who charge against this will die on the political alter. Frankly, they should feel the wrath of angry public that wants change.

Mitch McConnell (Kentucky)
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
Susan Collins (Maine)
Thom Tillis (North Carolina)
Todd Young (Indiana)
John Curtis (Utah)

All from red states except Susan Collins from Maine. Those filthy scumbag rat senators need to be taught a sever lesson for even thinking of going against the will of the people. /spit

Gillis can likewise be dealt with. Just to encourage the others.

I’m not at all surprised to see Open-Borders Thom Tillis in this Hall of Shame.

How did Utah manage to replace Romney with another Romney?

“Move contracts from Bath Iron Works to Pascagoula.”

A great idea. Let Collins’ constituents know how her pettiness led to the loss of good jobs.

Todd Young is disgusting, he wouldn’t even endorse his Party’s Presidential nominee! He needs to be primaried big time.

What should happen is for Senate GOP leadership to put republican anti-Trump Senators on notice and threaten them by: 1 -taking away their 'chair' roles, 2 - threaten to end GOP money for their campaign, 3- threaten for GOP to support their primary opponent(s).

Any other suggestions for forcing the anti-Trump Senators to get in line with MAGA?

I’m doing everything I can to get the word out on that double crosser.

He convinced me to vote for him with commercials on his family values, military hero status and fiscal responsibility.

Literally within a few months of winning re-election he voted for Biden’s:
1.7 trillion spending bill
Gay marriage bill

He is UTTERLY deceitful and a RINO.
————————————————
“ Wednesday to defeat the filibuster during a lame-duck session of the Senate. Indiana’s Todd Young, who won a second term in office earlier this month, was among them.”

“ Senators voted 62-37 to advance the Respect for Marriage Act ”

————==========—====——-

“ The U.S. Senate passed a massive $1.7 trillion funding package Thursday that carries emergency aid for natural disaster recovery and the Ukrainian war effort, pushing past disputes over immigration policy and barely meeting a Friday deadline when current funding runs out.

Indiana Sen. Todd Young was among the 18 Senate Republicans who voted for passage. U.S. Sen. Mike Braun voted against the measure.”

While in the House, Todd Young’s only job was to make sure John Boehner’s Jameson tumbler was full..

“We will sink them. This is a whole new ballgame”

Unfortunately in their arrogance they don’t care what the people think. They are all powerful and untouchable, They are smarter than those who vote them in, and they know we will forget before it is time for reelection. And most will indeed forget. Right now is the time to contact their local office and give them warning that if they do not do the will of the people we WILL NOT forget if they throw us and Trump under the bus.

Twitter is great for that.
