Agreed. Only problem is it feeds the sharks and encourages the bestial proclivities of the enemy. Like the hyenas they represent to the body politic, they'll snarl and attack Trump in packs even more savagely now that they believe they've claimed two scalps. We can hope his administration is up to the task of forging ahead.
Only rhetorically.
Unless they decide to ramp up the already criminal rioting (as in assaults and property damage)
Which they no doubt are looking for anything to justify their insanity anyhow.
Otherwise, they already hate Trump.
And Trump is going to do what he promised no matter.
So,let them continue to look like poor losers.
It’s not going to cost more elections.
For the record, the Republicans brought down two original Obama cabinet appointees: Bill Richardson for Secreatary of Commerce due to federal investigation into some of his political donors. He withdrew himself from the nomination.
Obama tried to replace Richardson with Republican Senator Judd Gregg. Gregg being confirmed would have given the Democrats a super-majority in the Senate. Gregg ended up withdrawing his name.
And Tom Daschle as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Daschle was paid $220,000 in speaking fees to Healthcare providers, and was paid $16 million as an advisor to Healthcare lobbying groups in the time between his departure from the US Senate and his nomination. Daschle pulled his name from nomination.
