Hopefully Trump picks someone just as good or better, but if the media and republican senators forced Ratcliffe out they will do the same to anyone who's just as good. There's a reason for people to be concerned about this whether you want to admit it or not. We all hope Trump chooses someone good, but to pretend you already know he will is ridiculous. Trump has made mistakes with several of his picks up until now, so it's ignorant to act like it's never-Trumpers criticizing him now.

I would rather Trump force republican senators to show their hands. Guys like Lindsey Graham need to face a primary from a real MAGA candidate. The guy is only pro-Trump so he doesn't have to face a primary challenge since he's up for reelection in 2020. He hated Trump, and refused to endorse him in 2016. Graham still doesn't agree with Trump or the MAGA agenda on trade, immigration, or foreign intervention. The fact that so many have forgotten his long history, and behavior leading up to the 2016 election, is proof of how easy it is to manipulate people with a short term act that makes them forget about years of pushing establishment BS. If Graham is reelected he will be there for 6 more years working for the establishment and criticizing Trump who will leave office at least 2 years before he does.

First, no one get every pick right.

Second, one needs to know when it is time fight a battle and when it is a waste of time.

The post is simply a meaningless post that was being used by Coats to block access.

It really doesn't matter who runs it as long as he doesn't think he is the head of the intelligence apparatus.

This will be old news once a new head is chosen. The important thing was getting rid of Coats and next, the FBI chief.
