“More than half of Senate Republicans, including some in senior leadership positions, privately say they don’t see a path for former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to be confirmed as attorney general and would not support him to lead the Department of Justice,” NBC News reports.

“While Gaetz’s ability to be confirmed appears on the rocks among Senate Republicans, President-elect Donald Trump’s team remains confident he will eventually be confirmed, even if it’s after an ugly battle.”

“NBC News spoke to more than 15 additional Republican sources who agreed that there are not enough votes in the Senate to confirm Gaetz, and some estimated that closer to 30 Republicans consider him unqualified.”

At least some Republican senators seem to get that if they cave in this horrid nominee there is no going back to being a real person. Their backs will be broken. They will be patsies and take the blame for everything Gaetz and Trump do. They will own it and will have to follow the nihilists to the end.
