The quislings who were hard no’s.

Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Susan Collins (R-ME)
Markwayne Mullin (R-OH)
Sen.-elect John Curtis (R-UT)

There could be a possibility that DeSantis might appoint him as Senator. Now wouldn’t that be pleasant for the hard no’s when they have to see him every day.

I never considered Gaetz to be a serious appointee. I find him entertaining, but he’s a self-aggrandizing clown who made a name for himself by letting his mouth write checks his ass could not cover.

Back when I started my career, we used to have the saying, "Throw mud against the wall and see what sticks."

Trump does this.

Gaetz didn't stick but that doesn't mean that his appointment by Trump was without effect.

Gaetz might have made it. But by putting Gaetz forward as an AG appointee, Trump got a feel for what the Senate will accept and what it won't accept.

It was suggested today that Gaetz may return to his job in the House. That is not a clear cut matter.

👍

Yeah. Super smart and strategic move.

Maybe a Supreme Court nomination? Maybe Gaetz for president in 28?

Failing upwards always works.

[DIRTYSECRET]

He should go back to the house. He won. There he’ll continue to torment Trump’s enemies. ‘I ain’t goin’ away’ sounds right.

What happened to recess appointments? What happened to the 210 day temporary appointment option?

[BB62]

Markwayne Mullin is from OK, not OH.

[Leep]

he kind of give me a vibe.

[Leep]

gives

That was a Gateway Pundit error. Live in so I knew better.

[philman_36]

Both are still options.

[philman_36]

Something to think about regardimg the writer...you don't see Bondi in the article as a possible choice, do you?
🤔

[philman_36]

BAH! regardimng

[philippa]

Trump will find him a job that doesn’t require confirmation.

[A strike]

REALLY sux to take this LOSS to the deep state and RINOs right out of the box. Not looking good.

Absurd comment.

There could be a possibility that DeSantis might appoint him as Senator.

I doubt it. DeSantis signed a strong anti-Semitism hate crime bill in Florida, whereas Gaetz opposed a similar bill on the federal level.
