Problem is getting him confirmed
-
-
-
54 seats in the Senate. He's a rock-solid conservative who has led an impeccable life (though that didn't protect Kavanaugh!). If there's the will, there is definitely the way
-
Sasse, Romney, Collins, Murkowski. Will they vote for him? Rubio?
-
I think so, yes, at least one of the five will and that's all it'll take
-
Sasse knows even one more high-profile break is likely the end of his career. Mitt has always been an immigration hawk. Rubio knows he can't afford another immigration betrayal if he's going to have any chance in 2024.
-
Sure would have liked to pick up MT and WV and PA though. That Blue wave is going to be a deepening wound for years.

My primary concern with Kobach is that, while his heart is in the right place, he seems much better tactically than strategically. Maybe this can be remedied with the right deputies, but we only get one shot at completely stopping illegals. Can't mess this up.

Kobach would relish going after people who need going after. Criminal organizations like the
@ACLU (yes, urging people to violate US immigration law is conspiracy to commit criminal activity) are afraid of him getting his hands on executive power--as they should be! -
I have no doubt, at all, that he would go after the bad guys hard. Fixing the country through prosecution is a multi-year project, and we need someone with broad strategic ability. If Trump thinks that's Kobach, awesome. If he doesn't, I trust that.
-
I also think Kobach should 1000% be in the admin in either an extremely powerful tactical role, or a strategic one like AG. I think it'll happen.

Whitaker looks like a major upgrade already.

RBG in the hospital. Justice Kobach would be even better.

What about John Ratcliffe? Ideologically seems as sound as Kobach. You can then put Kobach at DHS which would probably be easier confirmation for him than AG.

He lost a gimmie though.
