I highly doubt she would be able to pass a SSBI to get cleared and read in

R No votes for this one ... Collins, Romney, Murkoski, The Turtle, and mayyyybe Thune.

I won't be following up. Y'all take care.

Welcome back and take care out there.

I agree. Some R-pols agree as well:

Swing-vote GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said she doesn't "think it's a serious nomination for the attorney general." Another, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), told reporters she was "shocked" by Gaetz's selection. And Trump ally Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) called it "a reckless pick."

"I think he has a zero percent shot of getting through the Senate," Miller added.

There isn't any way a guy with pending cases of a sexual manner is approved by a vote in the Senate

With regard to my claims of Rubio's issue by issue fluidity, in a book authored by him upon his debut Senate run over a decade ago, " 100 Innovative Ideas for Florida's Future," he mentioned the optimistic potential for renewal energy to grow as an industry to combat the worsening severity of climate change.

Nowadays: "climate change, what is that?"

Only one example, lol

Well, I suppose Marco could run for Governor of Florida....

That is valid. Rubio has always struck me as a social climber because beyond his foreign policy positions, most of his other issue by issue positions are subject to current polling (if election season), or whatever is asked to him by party leadership. He has some independent bipartisan legislative efforts, to demonstrate his ability to work across the aisle, etc, etc, but absolutely falls in line when needed.

Governor in FL is term limited. IMO, his senate position is a relative guide path to career stability until retirement, as the senior senator of Florida.

Of the two senators in FL, I'd judge that Rubio is the more stable-adult one than skeletor Scott.

If confirmed, the clock will start to see how long Rubio lasts in the position ;).

No one ever lasts long according to the previous Trump administration, which makes you wonder why any career politician would resign from a Senate or Gubernatorial position for an appointed position.

This will be a great test for Rubio. I figured that Rubio would have been sent to exile island on the UN Ambassador mission lmao

would never work for anybody that has insulted my wife. #21 | POSTED BY WILDMAN62

That's Sen. Cruz, the all hat and no cattle Texan.

This would be an interesting career move - I would think that being a state governor would be a better public figure resume move than Secretary of Homeland Security. Or any of the appointed Secretary spots

My only immediate thoughts are that VP Harris should have done a Hot Ones appearance, and Joe Rogan segment.

The only concern I have is there are no more Mattis type folks.

Folkheros of the troops.

Even Mattis wasn't completely who we thought him to be (Theranos involvement).

AOC turned 35 last month ;)

I am disappointed that I missed the pre-election opportunity to participate in this exercise. Following along now and looking forward to reading the analysis.

Think I'm going to go to bed in 1-2 hours. Any bets on when about tomorrow there will be confident results on how the votes are swinging?
