I’ve gotta say, if one of Trump’s nominees ends up getting spiked, I’m okay with it being her—long on Jeb’s board, had to flip on common core for the nomination.

Just about to say the same.
The party of the north east and west coast will vote no for just about everything as their seats are safe. It is hte Dems like Manchin and up in ND, MT to target and take their seats away .

“If she doesn’t get it, my next pick will be twice as hard on libs.”

It is quite possible the Trump team already has another candidate in mind if DeVos is voted down. And the libs best be careful what they wish for... they are messing with a guy that built a 20’ hill for a flagpole in Palm Beach after the city would only approve a 30’ pole instead of 50’.

In this push if one of Trump’s nominees gets spiked then some other gopes will be emboldened to vote against other nominees you like better. De Vos needs to be supported with phone calls and emails to the hilt. If she proves not up to the job Trump will take care of the problem very quickly after she is in place.

DeVos was key to delivering Michigan for Trump. We understand some people are a little slow.

Same here.

DeVos is the sacrificial lamb to placate the crybabies while ensuring that Tillerson, Sessons and Gorsuch get through.

Would rather have her in the cabinet than Global Warming Perry. He did enough damage to Texas with his highway from Mexico to Canada, letting all the illegals come over from Mexico and allowing dreamers to attend college at in-state tuition rates while he was Governor.
