Trump can just tell these guys, look, until my team is confirmed I cannot run the country and so I may as well veto your budget. I’ll be in NY with my wife and son. Anything pops up, you’ve got my number. Capitol Hill Police - I guess you’re on furlough. Hey Pepco and Verizon - we can’t pay the bills for the Congress.
But Trump has tremendous power, and the Republicans in Congress do not want to be on his shiite list. They know he won’t forget slights. He’s making a list, checking it twice.... (Look at Ryno making nice now.)
Hotair was once my favorite blog. I used to really enjoy AP’s posts. But haven’t visited the site in over a year. I see AP is still butt hurt.
Trump's pick of Terry Branstad for Chinese Ambassador -- 36 years a good friend of the Chinese Premier -- is also a brilliant move.
John McCain is a "hero" because his daddy was an admiral. He finished 2nd from last at Annapolis, and is a blithering idiot who has no expertise in anything. He should have been JAILED over the Keating 5, and helped create ISIS. Shouldn't Trump fight this scumbag?
And as soon as the Cong got him, he spilled the beans about who he was, who his father and grandfather were, and only GOD and the Cong know what else.
I definitely remember he and Lindsey Graham saying something about the President getting to choose their cabinet. Of course that was Obama. They prefer to fight one of their own.
We went into the cold war with Russia after ww2, it was our own fault it even happened. We weren’t faithful to our agreements with them, per our usual history. They realized they could’t trust us. History Channel.
Trump's doing what is RIGHT for America; not what these damned elitist Globalists want.
Stupid lefty propaganda, which you swallowed whole.
Maybe for 2 years. Then 'we the people' the never again 'silent majority' will be so tired of it that we get a Senate Majority that they can't bust.
Poor Little Marco.
If McStain and Fubio are agin him, I’m for him!
It's an anti-American cesspool. USAID is filled with Muslims sending big checks to foreign Muslims and pretending to audit the expenditures. That's just the stuff I have heard about. The place needs a tough leader. I don't know anything about Tillerson, but I trust Trump.
Love that! Please Ping me when that happens in case I miss it! Suh-WEET! :)
And with Graham voted to confirm Justices Sotomayor and Kagan- two politicians wearing judicial robes.
I like Bolton, but I am liking the idea of a non-diplomat, non-politician in the position.
Carly Fiorina of the Clinton Global Initiative would be the worst choice.
The Russophobes are coming out of the woodwork.
These puke cowards acting against this country’s best interests has to cease. Is there recall ballot initiatives possible for elected officials in Arizona? Time to retire our great POW.
My sense is the only Senate Republican who may not be susceptible to Trump`s abilities at persuasion, is McCain. Perhaps his special friend Limpsey Graham as well. Rubio believes in nothing but his career, so Trump will find a way to get him in line. I believe Rand and Ted could present difficulties from time to time, but are open to various forms of persuasion.
