It feels like we’re really digging into the weeds with the Trump picks. Is it because he’s posting them so early?

@George-K said in President-Elect Trump's cabinet:
Rubio confirmed 99-0.
That one makes sense at least.

Heard on the GOP senators today, complain about Schumer. The Dems are dragging, maybe on purpose.
The Republicans have proposed creating two tiers of hearings. The A block is nominees with a very high chance of confirmation. The C block would be for the nominees with the most opposition. The B block would be all other nominees.
So far, no deal.

I was going to ask who didn’t vote but it must be Rubio himself.
But wait - Vance resigned last week. Did Rubio vote for himself?

If it had been me, and I saw the way the vote was headed, I would have voted "Present."

Nah. It's a poor dog that won't wag his own tail.

I don’t fault him for it but I’d also have abstained.

I’m glad it was unanimous though. He’s Trump’s best pick, though that’s pretty faint praise.

How fun if he had voted no…
