Anyone? Is this a done deal?
Honestly, his lack of experience and vocal protests about women in the military make him unfit. The fact he cheated on his wife or has a drinking problem aren’t relevant. I think Patel and Gabbard are bigger threats to America than Hegseth.

Willing to take my chances on a teenager over a womanizing drunk.

How many people have you directly supervised?
How big of a budget have you managed?
Your last job was as a weekend tee vee host, can you explain to me what skills are transferable, if any?
I mean it's great that Senators are pointing out his drinking and abuse but where are the questions asking about his qualifications? Make him explain!
They did ask him that. And then a Republican said they had a lot of nerve to ask that because what were the qualifications to be a senator. (As if running a huge Federal agency with responsibility for nuclear weapons and hundreds of thousands of young lives is the same as voting on bills and managing a small congressional staff).
Then a Republican tried to demonstrate Hegseth’s street cred by asking how many push ups he can do and what size billets a gun holds. No joke.
Thank you. I'm watching the clips. I really wish Dems would stick on this one theme instead of going down the sexual assault path. We know the American public doesn't care about SA.

He is the picture of unqualified. Should he be confirmed, though, it hardly matters. Trump will fire him within a year at the outside, probably closer to a matter of months.
Do you think Trump even cares enough to bother firing people this time?

Reminds me when my college ROTC son came home complaining about having to carry a female's rucksack in a training event. She was holding back the platoon. There may be a place for her in the military, but it would not be in ground combat.
Just shut up with your fake stories

Hi Hillary!
Such a lame reply. Gabbard is unfit and a traitor. She openly pushed Russian propaganda and support Assad in Syria… you know the “leader” who used chemical weapons on his own citizens.
She’s a traitor who has served in our military and done several tours overseas.![]()
You should know that this country have convicted service for treason. From Benedict Arnold to Korbein Schultz this country has had people in the military who have sold their country out for 40 pieces of silver.

Many probably don’t but they aren’t allowed to cross Trump.
“Aren’t allowed?”
These are grown men, in Washington not Moscow.
Don’t name excuses for them. History will see all of Trump’s co-conspirators through a crystal clear lens.
