Will Obstructionist Democrats Look to Block Nominees?

Hard to believe Obstructionists May vote against Mike Pompeo for Secretary of State. The Dems will not approve hundreds of good people, including the Ambassador to Germany. They are maxing out the time on approval process for all, never happened before. Need more Republicans!

Concerns about Jackson's level of experience for running an agency the sheer size of the VA have surfaced while Trump's declaration regarding Pompeo comes ahead of a key vote Monday in the Foreign Relations committee. Every Democrat as well as Republican Sen. Rand Paul have reportedly vowed to vote against Pompeo.

Many other positions in the State department as well as dozens of Ambassadorships remain to be filled. The Democrats may look to create roadblocks as a part of their political posturing in advance of November's critical midterm election.
