Four Cabinet nominations that could blow up in Donald Trump’s face

With a 52-to-48 Senate majority next month, Republicans will have power in numbers. But a handful of independent-minded GOP senators could arguably have even more power.

Just three Republicans could derail some of Donald Trump's critical Cabinet-level nominations, which need to be approved by a 51-vote majority of the U.S. Senate. (After Senate Democrats got rid of the filibuster in 2013 for nominations like these, they essentially took away their ability to block Trump's nominations, because a filibuster would have essentially translated into a 60-vote confirmation requirement.)

History suggests it's very rare for senators from the president's own party to block his Cabinet appointments. But it is a possibility for several of Trump's picks.

Here are four of Trump's nominations that could draw support from most Republicans — but resistance from a critical few:

But they will be shitting their pants in the garish light of day as they should, and nutsuckers will be held accountable for their hypocrisy, and unAmericanism, in that same garish light of day, as they should.

Yeah, as usual, he didn't bother with reading the article, so he doesn't know it's actually about the cabinet vs. Trump.

I was watching some of the confirmation hearings of the proposed new CIA guy and what a fucking joke. Complete powder puff questions

Yeah, it's theater at its worst.

Actually I don't need the links. I do not like most of his picks.

Thing is, as far as he is out of mainstream republican party, they might just get those three votes.

What I haven't looked into is what happens if they are not confirmed, the old guy keeps his job or the post goes unfilled.

T^T

He just appoints someone else.

Then more theater.
