Democrats on the panel say if they also vote against the unfavorable recommendation to discharge, then Pompeo will be bottled up in committee and McConnell will have to offer a motion on the floor to discharge him, which is subject to a filibuster and a 60-vote threshold.

Mitch can go nuclear.
Mitch went nuclear with judges because Dingy Reid set the precedent.
Mitch can set precedent with Presidential appointments.

It’s time for Trump to make his own rules
The dems can sink in their own swamp pit. They have done enough .. and the public opinion will be on Trumps side.
The media is miscalculating the public..
Trump can use the constitution and make it serve his purpose.. the left has torn it to pieces.

There may be some problems with his military resumé.

What is wrong with Pompeo? He's pro-life for one thing. They hate that even though it has little, if anything, to do with being SOS.

How do I know for SURE Pompeo is NOT a Deep State HACK?
Take just one look at how the DemonRats are conspiring to stop his appointment as Secretary of State. THAT'S how I know.

The DemonRATs are using Pompeo as a poke in the eye of President Trump. They don't care about the security of America. All they want is power.
Power.
Power.
Power.
Here is what America will get:

Clearly this isnt about Pompao, its about the Democrats and the DC establishments hatred of the nonestablishment Trump and working to make him a failed president.
To: Principled
There won’t be a price and they know it. They are doing it out of spite and because they can. No other reason. Democrats never pay a price for the crap they pull.
