Will “Serious” Republicans Block Any of Trump’s Freak-Show Cabinet Picks?

In the aftermath of the election, the hallowed halls of the Republican party echo with the cacophony of emboldened “Never Trumpers” and the deafening silence of those who cautiously choose to wait and see. Will any of these self-professed guardians of conservatism risk incurring the wrath of their base to oppose Trump’s bizarre brood of cabinet picks?

With big names like Mitt Romney, former CIA director Michael Morell, and former Bush administration official Eliot Cohen penning impassioned op-eds against Trump, all eyes are on the GOP establishment. Will they stand aside as the future of their party is shaped by a kaleidoscope of controversial figures—or will they risk everything and dare to dissent?

Senate Republicans Alarmed by Trump Nominating Matt Gaetz for Attorney General

Posted on by itoffice2.com@gmail.com

Senate Republicans are reportedly growing increasingly alarmed by the possibility that former President Donald Trump could nominate controversial Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz for the position of Attorney General.

Gaetz, who has been under investigation for sex trafficking allegations, is a staunch Trump ally. Sources close to the matter say that Trump has been considering Gaetz for the role, potentially as a way to protect him from prosecution.

Republican senators are concerned that Gaetz’s nomination would further damage the party’s reputation and potentially lead to a difficult confirmation process. They are also worried that it could galvanize Democrats and independents in the upcoming midterm elections.
