Trump: Any GOP who votes against any of my nominees is history. I will send the 2nd Amendment people to their homes and these guys wont even run for Primary.

How delicious that it may be two FEMALE GOP Senator’s that derail this bible-thumping harpy…

Interesting fact:

“No Democratic senators are expected to vote for DeVos. If no other Republicans vote against DeVos, Vice President Mike Pence would be the tie-breaking vote. DeVos needs a simple majority to be confirmed.”

*"*If Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) is confirmed as attorney general before DeVos comes before a full Senate vote, it could further complicate her chances for confirmation. In that scenario, Sessions would not be eligible to vote.**"

aSS-------a confirmed Confidence man…

None of the men in the Senate GOP caucus will feel like their institutional power and privileges are under assault if Trump is only throwing one of his carpet-chewing rages at women. Need to get at least a couple of the men to cross the aisle too.

Incorrectly referring to DeVos as an “educator”—she has never taught at or even attended a public school—Spicer condemned “the games being played” with her nomination process.

Alternative facts, I’d suspect. I caught most of today’s presser, and I immediately yelled at the screen “She’s no educator! She’s never taught school or even been in a public school!”

“I have 100 percent confidence she’ll be the next Secretary of Education,” Spicer said.

Sen. Hatch has assured us that he will suspend the rule requiring a majority vote for confirmation if necessary to approve this unbelievably qualified campaign donor.

Sean - Donald did not approve of your tie. Please get another one for tomorrow’s press dressing down.

All that is needed if Collins and Murkowski vote no against this flim-flam artist, is one other Republican with a spine to send her packing. I know that is likely a fantasy, but I will keep hoping.

as in not able to be believed; unlikely to be true.

So if Spiceboy is “100% confident”, you need to divide that figure by 10, meaning he’s only 10% confident, right?

No, not in senate as a whole. Unconstitutional.

Betsy’s real name is Elizabeth Prince-Devos. Her brother is Eric Prince of Blackwater infamy. Her husband is heir to the Amway fortune. Tell us Trump, why should we hire a person who hates schools, is part of a family of scammers, and who’s brother left the the US to escape prosecution?

Republicans would confirm Bart Simpson if Trump nominated him. Every miscreant and incompetent will be confirmed.

Oh, no. Now he’s using the Trump hand signal, too.

I’m sure that she’s “incredible,” too.
