It will be tough to oppose him as even a "moderate" republican Collins is ok with Sessions; and Shumer, I beleive, said some nice words about his personality. My bet he is gonna slide through the nomination after being a senator for so long. I can't see a single republican opposing him.

I think Sessions was selected primarily for his hardline stance towards illigal immigration - mass deportation is #1 priority for trump.
