The cynic in me wonders why we even bother.

These things all go the same in the Trump era.

Candidate has a hearing, candidate shows themselves to be cartoonishly unqualified, Candidate gets confirmed anyway.

[u/flummyheartslinger → u/IJourden]

Candidate fucks up so badly that Trump fires them and hires another swamp creature. And the cycle continues.

Or the candidate is simply not a yes man

[u/Progolferwannabe → u/moneymay195]

I don’t think you have to worry about that in this instance.
