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.

These senators would have been irrelevant had the Democrats not been so successful at stealing so many Senate seats this election.

I really hope there is something the incoming Trump administration can do to restore the integrity of the vote counting process in states where the final vote tallies are questionable.

Probably add John Bozeman from Arkansas. He disguises his RINO status well.

Nomination of Garland votes. Young was a Nay. Curtis not on the list so he must be new. The other four voted Yea along with 16 more repubs for the lying communist activist DA Garland.

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

I guess waterboarding is too severe?

I'd volunteer for torture duty but nothing too severe.

Since we are called nazis they did have one severe procedure which began with describing to the male prisoner the following: We will insert a glass rod into your penis and then smash it with a hammer.

You will be force fed water and when you urinate the glass chips will shred the inside of your penis.

Usually the mere thought was more than enough without following through with the actual act, but if you insist...

I know it sends shivers down your spine, but these are critical times and I'd sacrifice my dignity to perform the evil work.

I am SO looking forward to 2026 when I have the opportunity to donate to and support a primary challenger for Thom Tillis here in NC.

I can't believe I actually helped this RINO get elected last time. I know beyond a doubt I converted at least 3 people who were going to vote for his opponent Cal Cunningham to vote for him instead when I told them all about how Cal was a Jody who while serving as an officer in the military porked an enlisted man's wife.

After the Steal and the RINOs participation in it, I swore that would be the absolute last time I EVER voted for a RINO. I meant it. I will do all I can to get this scumbag out of office.

This is the reason for the swing state Senate Steals.

Todd Young has everybody fooled in Indiana. He talks about being a Marine and being fiscally conservative. He’s a lying RINO.

The problem with that is that Congress has to vote themselves into recess. And they are not going to do that knowing that Trump would use that process

The 6 Republican senators who could sink a Trump nomination and are the reason why there will not be any hearings just recess appointments. Any questions?
Notice where this comes from. Fox is not your friend,

Hi Senator X

If you decided to play stupid in DC now, the GOP will not fund any reelection effort and the Trump team will recruit and fund a primary challenger to take you out of office

You used the party to win election after election. Either you are now a team player or you are trash in 2026.
