Another thread has the RINO list of 6 Senators “wavering.”

Another suspenseful story. I wish for uninteresting times on confirmations but I know that’s unrealistic.

Ignore all the noise. There are ZERO Republican Senators opposing Pete Hegseth at DOD. There are only those who want to talk further and ask pointed questions. That's fine. That's positive. Pete is more than capable to having those discussion.

Confirm President Trump's cabinet.…— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) December 4, 2024

If Trump and the conservatives are going to get anywhere they have to enforce discipline like Nancy Pelosi. Not allowing gentlemanly losses and good sport failures as the GOP since the 1970s.

Coach Vince Lombardi said, “Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser”.

Dems never apologize for being tough in the trenches in Congress. GOP shouldn’t.

Everyone should watch Megyn Kelly’s exclusive 1 hour interview with Pete today. This is like going back to the days when Fox News actually believed in “we report, you decide”. Megyn is a friend but she goes over it all, every sordid allegation, to allow Pete a chance to address the smears and tell the truth:

He is a fighter and a patriot, and an imperfect man. He is the right man for this job.

The antique gaslight press is doing everything they can to kneecap Hegseth.

That’s the highest recommendation he could get.

I got a feeling the wavering 6 are going to be a constant PITA.

If any of the reports about his performance and behavior at CVA are true, he’ll self destruct in the office.

Right, because age and experience count for nothing.

I don’t think that they are wavering so much as posturing.

They are spineless appeasers who feel the need to justify their support of Trump cabinet picks to their Trump-hating Washington insiders. They want to be able to hold their fake news press conferences and go to their DC cocktail parties and say they did their due diligence when confronted about why they voted to confirm.

Their Trump-hating friends are going to accuse them of bending the knee to Trump and just rubber-stamping his picks - they need to be able to prove they dotted every i and crossed every t.

For example, they want FBI background checks - not because they are looking for dirt or expecting the FBI to find dirt - but rather so they can say “we demanded FBI background checks”.

It is ridiculous, I know - especially Kash Patel - having the FBI check up on the guy Trump picked to clean up the FBI - it’s literally asking the Fox to do a security check on the henhouse - but I think Trump has to let them go through the motions - it’s just window dressing.

Your party needs to primary all six. And your rank and file voters need to fund the challengers’ campaigns.

The problem is the Mitch McConnell cabal who are really Dems like Murkowsk and snakes like Lindsey Graham. Lindsey is untrustworthy in any circumstance and the others hate Trump.

Well, Lindsey sure likes him some Peter. Uh, Hegseth that is. I want this kind of man in leadership.

It’s Trump’s party, why is it not your party ?

It doesn’t make sense to primary a sitting senator in certain states, as seen in Maine, Arizona, Georgia, and Alaska;
