This is (yet another) great reminder about the (sometimes huge) limitations of good ole' "DEMOCRACY."
Imagine that there was at least the inclusion of some omniscient, objective "judgement" when selecting elected officials, including Senators?
And it would ask the simple question, "So, you REALLY thought that Major Pete should be SECDEF?" And ditto ALL of the other freakin' absurd Trump 2.0 nominations.
"Candidacy denied."
Easy.
And would that apply to plenty of Democrats over the years? Of course.
But right now, just for starters, it would apply to between 50 and 53 of the current R Senators.
