President Donald Trump says Rep. John Ratcliffe will no longer be nominated as director of national intelligence to replace Dan Coats. "Our great Republican Congressman John Ratcliffe is being treated very unfairly by the LameStream Media," Trump wrote on Twitter.

I will be announcing my nomination for DNI shortly." Trump privately voiced concern in recent days about Ratcliffe's ability to be confirmed as the next director of national intelligence, according to two people who spoke with him. Trump had been assured by allies before selecting Ratcliffe that he would be an easy pick, and so the president was surprised when Ratcliffe started facing issues from senators who had their own concerns.

Ezra Cohen-Watnick. 33 years old. Yeah, not happening there.

The Establishment hates conservatives.
Admiral Rogers?
General Flynn (recess appointment) - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Stick it Deep State!
But the RINOs keep winning elections. The only way Mr. Trump can drain the swamp, is to do whatever is necessary to make sure that elections are honest!
Occams razor says he couldnt pass the FBI background check.
Occam’s razor says GOP Senators hate POTUS every bit as much as Democrats do. They sunk Trump’s MAGA fed picks and they sunk Ratcliffe after realizing his wasn’t going to support their coup.
I’ve heard that before!
The Establishment hates conservatives.
Rush has said it publicly on his show numerous times: most of all they hate those that voted for Trump. IOW, Us.
Sorry to say this, but I believe it is good news.
We need him in congress.
The process isn’t good news. The process sucks.
But the outcome is good news.
[Still speaking in code?]
...after realizing his wasnt going to support their coup.
It really isnt a coup...they already have the power - almost all of it.
It is us that is the insurrection.
“” or nefarious?”
nefarious = hired by the OBUMSTER
Fire’em all !!!!!
Remember when voters paid no attention to such appointments and couldn’t name any of them? Now everyone thinks they have to micromanage everything.
That's a bingo.
Coats is the symptom. Some say the problem is with his sponsor, (fellow Hooser, Pence?)
That's in short supply out here beyond the trees.
The give up, surrender monkey is strong here.
Look at that. We agree on something.
Don't be afraid to say it.
Pence is derp.
