Good for Paul, I wasn't confident he'd change to a yes vote.

Who would become director of CIA? Bill Binney would be excellent (if he was interested) but too many deep state believers in both parties.

I was confident. He realizes that Trump’s previous statements on foreign policy are what need to be focused on.

Great for Rand!!!!! And great for Trump.

Just watched the ‘ZOO CLOWNS’ on C-span regarding the Pompeo vote...Never in my life time have I seen a POTUS treated so disrespectful as it is done now with DJT.
I hope every DEMOCRAT lose their seat in November...let's ROAR LIKE LIONS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN...

Wonder what Trump had to give Paul in return for his vote?

Self defense lessons.

So, once again Democrats vote in lockstep to oppose/embarrass a Republican president.

And just like clockwork, once there's a 'rat president (even a crackpot leftist like Bernie Sanders) Republicans will fall in line to vote "yes" and show how "bipartisan" and "statesmanlike" they are.

Absolutely disgusting on both counts.

Thanks for posting and the heads up.

Senator Chris Coons did the honorable thing under the circumstances in my view letting Mike Pompeo advance.

Hopefully a coming action that will make Lindsey Graham, John McCain, CNN and other members of the pro-war party very unhappy. Like Senator Paul has repeatedly stated, President Trump in the campaign was very much against future Mideast adventures.

Brit Hume said the same thing - he had to vote or Kentucky would have been angry.

And why would anyone care what you think?

Easy to be a bombastic nobody demanding “perfect political purity” hiding behind the anonymity of the web.

Leaders don’t have the luxury of hiding out in their mo’ms basement hanging out on the web all day playing “Monday Morning President.”

Nope Chris Coons of Delaware voted present since Issacson is in GA for a funeral.

So basically he was saying that he didn’t trust Trump’s judgement to choose a Secretary of State who agrees with him and will support his agenda. Now he’s changed his mind. Sheesh! Rand just shut up and watch. Trump’s got this.

You know, I still have it in the back of my mind that it really is none of the Congress’s business who the presidents choose as their cabinet members. If I wanted to select person A to be my sec of state, to hell with the congress. What do those fools have in rights to tell the president whom he can choose to advise him on the various departments heads. Who the president selects to the many other cabinet offices should be the president’s choices. Why should those fools have the right to say No to A, but you can have C or D. What if he did not want B, C or D??? If the prez feels that A is his better choice, then he should get to choose whom he wants. He won the election. He has a right to select who his advisors are. Just one man’s opinion. I know there are many who will disagree, but oh well.

It anybody can, it will be Trump. He knows that both parties to a deal have to believe that they got a lot of what they want. Dictators don’t care about this. Obama ruled as a dictator by executive action.

I think I heard Britt Hume (a big disappointment) today say Iran Nuclear BILL. No, Brit, it was a “deal” by Obama alone.
