If that holds, McConnell could still bring the nomination up on the floor despite the unfavorable vote in committee - a rare move - and he’d need at least one Dem defector to confirm Pompeo

Pompeo and GOP leaders have been anticipating this, which is why he’s been courting moderate Dems like Manchin and Heitkamp and met privately with Angus King.https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/10/politics/mike-pompeo-confirmation-senators/index.html …

If these people are gonna play politics right before conflict in Syria and mtgs with NK.. they need to get out of govt asap.

Y'know...Trump didn't have to let the last guy go...
-
He also didn't have to run for president. I'm not sure why we're surprised that a businessman with no understanding of politics makes bad nominations. That's what his voters wanted.

He's a con-man not a businessman.

Good, Pompeo does not deserve the nomination. He is nothing more than a yes man for Trump. And has extreme views against the LGBTQ community, Muslims, women's rights. And let's not foget he's a climate change denier.
#NoPompeo -
And let’s not forget that, on top of being a sycophantic toady, Mike Pompeo is also a world class imbecile...
-
I said something about how stupid Pompeo sounded this morning. He is not at all well spoken. You'd think that would be a requirement for the job.

Not in TrumpLand which is the government equivalent of remedial kindergarten...

People don't get to say they have "serious doubts" and then vote yes

Republicans do it all the time. Look at Corker and the tax bill......

Or Collins and the tax bill.

Or Collins, and practically every dumb GOP bill she votes for.

@timkaine@JeanneShaheen Please do not vote for him! We do not need a man who is so anti-Muslim, LGBTQ and who denies climate change. He will not be a good diplomat and should NOT be the face of the US on the world stage. -
@timkaine@SenatorShaheen Confirming Pompeo signals oppressive goverments and dictators that they will face NO global consequences for human rights atrocities or civil rights violations or war crimes such as torture. ManyLivesDependOnYou not exclusively US Soldiers or citizens.

Senator Paul has already gone from an ironclad No at the time of Pompeo's nomination to just having "concerns" now? By the time this reaches the Senate floor he'll be an enthusiastic Yes. Because Rand Paul.

Every. Time.
