[quote=Anonymous]There are only so many cabinet picks that Senate Republicans are going to reject. Hedgseth is horrible, but he's not as bad as Gaetz and Gabbard. I'm pretty sure Senate Republicans are going to tank Gabbard's nomination, so they are letting Hedgseth go for now. Hedgseth is a weak man with no self-discipline. I suspect he's out within a year, probably for drunkenness. Trump is a teetotaler. Public drunkenness in his Secretary of Defense is likely to be a red line for him. Hedgseth did swear to quit drinking upon confirmation. But I can't imagine he succeeds in white knuckling it for very long in a very stressful job. He'll break and be forced to resign. Meanwhile, the under-secretaries and JCS will contain the damage. Hedgseth is a stupid and insulting pick, but political expediency is the more pressing concern for Senate Republicans. They are going to let him self destruct on the national stage. [/quote]
