    I get it. I too want this entire administration to burn, but at the same time, Perdue was a sitting Senator. A co-worker. Almost normal compared to Bondi or RFK Jr.

    And this isn’t a cabinet member. It’s not like Perdue is going to make any real progress with China on anything.

    China isn’t budging on shit.

      Democrats reject this guy, a worse candidate is put forward next. Seems like a stupid hill to die on. They’re going to appoint somebody.

        No, they’re not. What happened to Obama’s scotus pick proves you can gum up this process and prevent appointments. And you can do it without losing voters.

        Democrats are choosing to aide the trump admin.

        Let me get this clearly: because if they fight back, maga will be even nastier, so Dems did the right thing to save us from a worse outcome?

        Well fuck me, I’ve been at unfair to them. I owe them an apology.

          Someone has to be ambassador to China.

          It’s probably going to be someone most on the left so not want.

          So you choose the one that you can stomach while you have a vote.

          Just to note, but even Republicans stonewalled every confirmation.
