1. If he went through the appointment process he might end up with someone...

4. The present arrangement suits both him and Mitch

Donnie doesn't want to have to justify his picks to anyone else, and Mitch sees no benefit to him nor to the Republicans for going through the exercise. (That the nation would benefit is irrelevant to him.)

8. We hashed over this topic pretty thoroughly then.
