Trump’s second administration set to be filled with losers
At least 17 of his picks have previously lost elections:
A pro-abortion RFK Jr. at HHS. A pro-union Chavez-DeRemer at Labor. Lefty Democrat Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. And gay George Soros adviser Scott Bessent at Treasury.
Mike Allen of AXIOS reminds me of no one so much as George W. Bush: "There is no conservative movement. I redefined the Republican Party".
I think Mike is in a perpetual state of PTSD because his father was a John Bircher.
Donald Trump's problem is that no real conservative wants to be associated with his lame duck brand, so he's got to find people SOMEWHERE to serve in his hapless administration. Might as well be lefties and liberals and Jeb Bush retreads like Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice after the Gaetz flameout.
Meanwhile, Donald J. Trump and George W. Bush are exactly the same person, except Georgie actually got more than 49.83% of the vote.
Your new Director of National Intelligence, ladies and gentlemen, whom Bernie assured us in 2019 was no Russian asset.
Donald Trump was just a working class stiff flipping hamburgers a few weeks ago, so Tulsi hanging with the left eight years ago is no big deal, right?
Here.
Levin argues the Senators owe their elections to Trump's coattails, and therefore their unqualified support.
Of fifteen Republicans elected to the US Senate in 2024, that might be true of eleven.
But in four cases it's not: Wicker in Mississippi, Curtis in Utah, Barrasso in Wyoming, and Ricketts in Nebraska were all more popular than Donald Trump, each garnering more votes than Trump did in their states.
Levin often talks about "constitutionalism" on his show, you know, like the separation of powers, where the Congress isn't simply the president's rubber stamp machine.
You might say Levin runs his mouth about it.
Some US Senators actually doing their jobs and voting not to confirm the worst of Trump's appointments is a good thing.
Kamala Harris dropped out of the race on Dec 3, 2019. Tulsi Gabbard stayed in.
