I am not cynical like you are. I believe Chao's nomination to be Transportation secretary was because she was the best among the candidates and is definitely conservative. But if that is why Trump picked her, McConnell still has to abide by the rules of the senate regardless of what you think about it. There can be 30 hours of hearings for each nominee and the dems have said they will have the 30 hours of hearing. Sometimes things are black and white and should be easy to understand. Trump has no say in how the Senate conducts its business. He can persuade - he can ask for deference - he can ask the dems to bypass the 30 hours of hearings, but he can't make them do it and they will do it.
Then you are the naive one.
Want to figure out what is going on. Watch the Godfather again. Then watch the House of Cards, British version.
If you TRULY believe what you wrote, you’re a political naif and then some.
“... McConnell has to abide by the rules of the senate ...”
-
The senate sets its “rules” by a simple majority vote.
Chao is no conservative. In the Reagan years, the White House sent me over to interview with her. She was head of NOAA or some dept. in Commerce. I tallked about privatization, downsizing, etc. She looked at me and said I didn’t understand, that she wanted to increase her budget. I didn’t get or want the job.
She and her turkey headed husband are RINOS and traitors. Maybe she is insurance, I don’t know, but both are the reason we have had full funding of everything the usurper has proposed.
They need to go to hell with the other libtards.
