Title: DeSantis as new SecDef?

I will feel even better about Trump's cabinet picks if this happens.

The downside is that Florida will lose a really good governor.

Do you think Trump is doing this: Pick outrageous ones he knows won’t be confirmed then they’ll confirm people like DeSantis happily, whereas if he’d picked DeSantis first they’d balk and never confirm him. Because DeSantis is evil right wing Nazi etc etc. but compared to the even more Nazi Hegseth we’ll settle.

Remember, the ones fighting nominations are the RINOs.   Once again republicans defeating republicans.

That thought crossed my mind.

Another thought is that the reason he is making so many picks so early is that each one has to be vetted.  That is a big, important job, and it is really easy to miss something.  But if he picks them early, the Dems will do the vetting for him, and be much more thorough.  Then Trump can evaluate the stuff the Dems come up with and more easily determine if it is true or a lie.

OR, he is actually selecting the people he wants, but he has learned that those people need to be accepted at some level by all Rs and at least a few Ds.  He's not going to tolerate anyone that will not be able to help him meet his agenda.

Either way, I think both Bondi and DeSantis are upgrades to his first picks for those seats.

Not RINOs, just Democrats that run as Republicans so they get elected.
