Even a career in politics as a junior senator does not prepare someone for the presidency.

Governor of a large state is the best preparation for the presidency. If not that, than you should be a CEO of a corporation like Donald Trump.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden were Senators. Nah.

JFK, he was a Senator. But he was a different story for obvious reasons.

Yep, she’s been pretty decent as a Rep and going from that to Senator should be a no brainer but maybe she has presidential aspirations and thinks governor would give her more of a leg up.

Kash Patel standing strong and forceful in response to a bunch of shouting accusations.

Indians revere their elders and touching feet is a way of showing respect to elders.

Maybe she thinks she can be JD's VP.

But I think JD is too smart to pick Nancy Mace because of her temperament. On the other hand, maybe he will pick her because of her temperament? 🤔

Kornblacker wanted to be POTUS.Proves she doesn’t have the temperament.

**In the famous words of the Hitlery beast, “ what difference does it make”. She’s a full-blown Democrat(Linda)….period!**
No she isn’t.

**I think Nancy Mace should run against him instead of going for governor**
Won’t happen. Only if Linda quits.

sounds like no one is going to investigate Wray. I hope someone above Patel looks into Wray

Wray acted like a crime family boss. He had subordinates get their hands dirty, while he remained in his office sipping whiskey.

I realize that how these Senators vote has nothing to do with qualifications or issues, and that the process is an attempt to restart the #resistance that worked so well for them in 2017.

I’m a strong RFK supporter. But if what happens is a trade to sink RFK in exchange for Tulsi and Patel getting in, I would say to Thune, “Do what you gotta do”.

If RFK goes down his people will be (well funded) warriors to further improve the Senate in 2026. I hate to settle for anything, but Tulsi Gabbard as DNI is my only non-negotiable appointment.

If she is defeated, there will be an openly anti-Trump Senate through January 2027.

Blumenthal now attacking.

I can’t watch him talk about anything to do with integrity given his own lies.

Kash Patel is doing very well. He will be confirmed, IMO.
