Puzders Nomination In Jeopardy

Four Republican senators have told their leadership they are withholding support for Andrew Puzder, President Trump’s choice for labor secretary, “setting off an intense effort by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and business groups to bring at least two back into the fold so that the nomination does not fail,” CNN reports.

The four, sources say, are Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Tim Scott (R-SC) and Johnny Isakson (R-GA).

About time

Starting to see cracks among the Republicans

1. Nope!

The only reason Mukowski and Collins voted against Devos was because they knew she would get in.

This will be no different!

[rpannier]

6. Yep

They won't scuttle any of his nominations and people need to stop being duped

[NYC Liberal]

11. Yes. If they had really been against her, they'd have voted against her in committee.

I don't trust them one bit.

[SHRED]

2. His company was guilty of wage theft and...

...health/safety violations.

So he's a perfect nominee in Republican world.

[Initech]

5. And he also wants his workers replaced with machines.

[hatrack]

3. Cue Susan Collins fold in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

She's worthless. As Harry Reid said, "She's always there with a vote when you don't need it."

[MBS]

7. Great quote from Harry Reid!

Perfect!

4. I think they have to kill one of Trump's nominees just for optics

The GOP doesn't want the press and the Democrats to get the bizarre idea that they're just rubber-stamping anything Trump wants, even though that's what they're doing. Trump isn't all that concerned about the Department of Labor and Puzder's not quite extreme enough for DJT (last I checked, Eddie Lampert and Al Dunlap are still available), so knocking off Puzder seems like a safe choice.

8. Yes but when have Republicans really cared about Labor

related issues.They hate unions and want to see them fail.What we should worry about is the Repukes passing a national right to work law.

[Thor_MN]

9. The question is: Will Trump Pull his Puzder nomination?

Sorry for the visual....

[question everything]

10. Oh yes. Please. Let the Republicans show that there are some decent

individuals there. In the Senate.

The House can start with impeachment procedures.
