Americans pushed back on elitists that told them how they should feel. The working class that was generally part of the Democrat base shifted to the Republicans because they felt they better represented their interests. Your answer is to continue being elitist and denigrate non-college educated voters? You are in for a long 8 years.

That's right. GOP voters love billionaires telling them what to do as long as they are not "coastal elites."

Trumps cabinet is going to have 5 billionaires. He’s a billionaire. Another dozen billionaires will be in his administration. The richest man in the world is getting an office in the west wing. What’s this about rejecting elitists?

Not in the power rankings. Democrats aren't even a speed bump at this point.

Not sure what you mean by "power rankings", but these picks show how Trump is picking the bottom of the barrel, and Rs think it's great. I guess it fits with the MAGA mantra: we don't like educated people who know stuff. We like dumbsh*ts who like to spew stupidity and hatred.

Except they are, in fact, coastal elites (with the exception of Warren Buffett who doesn't throw his weight around like the others).

So true!. They really stuck it to the libs by setting up Trump to give all of our money away to his billionaires. Good job Maga. You really showed this country what's what.

Not to mention, this man getting office space in the west wing has NOT been elected and has obvious conflicts of interests working in the White House given his own businesses.

Apparently, we are not draining the swamp, we are filling it.

Turns out that according to a new poll, Hegseth is not a popular nominee for most Americans. Only 2 in 10 people polled approve of him.

My Republican family playing the clip of the senator calling out hypocritical senators who show up drunk to vote and cheat on their wives voting against Hegseth.... Not really the flex they think it is because I think those things are wrong for already elected officials as well... Why can't we raise the bar and how nice things??

I love it when MAGAs prattle on about "coastal elites" while supporting an Ivy Leaguer from NYC.

I can't watch because it is so sickening. Hegseth is as so unqualified it's beyond comprehension that 53 GOP senators are so terrified of trump that they put out country in the hands of an alcoholic womanizing thief.

Markwayne Mullen is a certifiable idiot with his rent on drunk senators casting votes and thanking his wife for not being in prison. Remember he is the moron who challenged a transfer to a fight! Too bad the fight didn't take place because the teamster would have won.

This statement is exactly what is wrong. America is supposed to be a country by the people, of the people and for the people. It not supposed to be about party. If the people aren’t willing to pay attention and allow an unqualified, scandal making disaster to be their SecDef, (who clearly doesn’t even have enough respect for the role to properly prepare for the nations interview), then that tells you what they think of their military and the men and women who served within.

But he tells dumb jokes, makes offensive comments, doesn’t read books, sleeps with porn stars and eats McDonalds.
