Probably true and definitely sad for Trump’s plans. Doesn’t change the fact that so many Republicans are so easily swayed by these dirty smear tactics. Weakness personified. As far as the uniparty Senators go…they represent everything that is wrong about our elected leaders.
Trump will pull the nomination if Hegseth doesn’t. He’s already considering DeSantis and Ernst as a replacement for Hegseth.
Gaetz dropped out because of “propaganda?”
Was Hegseth’s mom in on the smear campaign?
SecDefs don’t do foreign policy. That’s State’s job. You’re shit out of luck if you think Hegseth could “get out of the forever wars.”
I agree with standing firm in the face of smear campaigns. You won't find a bigger Kavanaugh defender than myself and I thought Trump sticking by him when a lot of Republican presidents would have folded was one of the best moments of his Presidency.
Or, people that understand he’s a fictional character in a fictional story think it’s a funny line.😂😂. Your butthurt runs so deep, will you ever recover?
You don’t want an independent Congress. You don’t want the checks and balances that Congress is supposed to do WRT the President and Executive Branch. You want a Congress that rubber stamps everything the President wants. You want a de facto dictatorship. Unquestioned faith in Trump is not a healthy thing, and you’ve got it bad.
I don’t want the status quo. It’s time for change brother. Get on board.
I’d bet on him withdrawing this weekend. Trump will immediately name his replacement because he knows it’s coming. He’s probably told Hegseth to withdraw.
Ernst has been pushing for the job badly. She was at Maralago last week kissing the ring. Her Senate colleagues were backing her.
He was wrong about Gaetz and will almost certainly wrong about Hegseth. Being consistently wrong doesn’t phase him.
Those must be high school ROTC kids. Most never join the military. Many wouldn’t even qualify.
It’s simple, just copy and paste this into your next post: I want a Trump dictatorship.
Wanting change and effectuating change are two different things. If he staffs the administration based solely on the extent of that appointees desire for change they're going to run into a lot of head winds. How about people who share that desire for change with a track record of implementing change across large organizations?
I’m not insulting you. Why would you insult me? I asked a serious question.
Yeah, because the Pentagon is a well oiled machine.
Just more evidence of people (many conservatives) immediately believing smear campaign. It’s so sad.
Your multiple aggrieved posts to/about Uncle Mark are the epitome of the butthurt genre, so excuse me if I chuckle at your lack of self-awareness.
Have started listening to the full interview with MK. He does not sound like someone who plans to withdraw. Said he spoke with Trump this AM and still has his backing.
There is a lot of room between change and a Trump dictatorship.
