That's Matt Walsh -- not exactly someone who reflects the attitudes of the average Republican Senator. And ultimately it doesn't even matter what they think if public sentiment turns on Hegseth. One think no one even talks about yet is what Hegseth would be like in confirmation hearings. This dude is smarmy and not that bright and it shows. He struggles with whatever passes for witty banter on Fox & Friends, he's not going to handle being questioned by dozens of senators over multiple hours on national television well. Even if they can get to hearings without public sentiment going way south, that footage is going to be brutal.[/quote]

He was specifically chosen because it was assumed he would do well on television. But yes, he's going to get humbled in hearings. I'm surprised the nomination hasn't been pulled yet. It only takes four Republican senators to reject the nominee. And I don't think the GOP establishment wants to go to the wall for this guy.[/quote]
