Well, he got confirmed. This doesn’t surprise me, though it does sadden me. I think he showed that he is not good under pressure, despite the GOP’s attempt to make him out to have been great by yelling louder than he did. But, practically, even if he had not been confirmed, the guy that Trump picked next would have, in a lame duck session if necessary.
I don’t see how this is a big victory for the GOP – I mean, it’s significant as hell, but this was a done deal after Trump won and the Senarte was republican.
