Nah. You insinuated it. You don't have the bollocks to make that bold a statement outright.
p.s. It's 'hoosier', not 'hooser', hoser.

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. "Rather than going through months of slander and libel, I explained to John how miserable it would be for him and his family to deal with these people John has therefore decided to stay in Congress where he has done such an outstanding job representing the people of Texas, and our Country. 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.

Yup...this was Mitch & the senate telling Trump they will not vote for his pick. No votes, no pick.
Ah...I said it.
Slow day in The Nest?
He should issue a full pardon to General Flynn and then name him to the post. That should get the attention of the Deep State Turds.
Bummer... I still trust Trump.
He should just leave the DNI position empty and leave Ratcliffe in the Senate where he serves a purpose - as long as Dan Coates is gone, I’m happy.
McConnell wasn’t going to let him through
Blame Republicans in the Senate who demand a Deep Stater.
Troll Thread
So easy to spot, you all need to get better materials
Or maybe I should call it the NeverTrumper Thread
Either works
McConnell wasn’t going to let him through.

Ratcliffe is from the House.
Aren’t Pro forma sessions in the Senate usually used to prevent a President in the opposite party from making recess appointments? Now it is Republicans against Trump.
Definitely a Department of Administrative Affairs with plenty of Humphrey Appleby’s!
Ratcliffe is from the House.
I believe you have found the source of the problem with his nom.
Nah. You insinuated it. You don't have the bollocks to make that bold a statement outright.

It goes without saying that anyone who will do that job with integrity will never get the job.
Strange looking woman.
Probably somebody calculated that winning back the House will be harder then at first thought. Every current seat with a popular/good member is thus precious.
