Most Freepers wouldnt make it out of the first day of confirmation hearings because they dont know how to navigate the process. Barr had to play the game and say all of the right things to get through the nomination process because the goal is to actually GET into the position and then make changes; not scream about Hillary needs to be in jail and that they werent going to be fair with Mueller report right from the get go during the hearings
Good point. It’s pathetic, but you do have to run the gauntlet of idiots if you actually want to be confirmed.
