What did Andy Pudzer know and when did he know it?

Perhaps all he had to do was listen to Cheetolini's rambling answer about himself to a question about anti-semitism.

Or maybe he knows not to get on a sinking ship.

We should ask our Trump-loving friends if this new news means that Pudzer thinks that America is great again, and if so, why did he just withdraw his own nomination?

FDT.

And he couldn't bear to join the administration because he would be overshadowed bigly by the greatness that is Donald Trump, and would therefore be demoralized in his job and unmotivated.

So instead he just suggested Trump appoint an automated kiosk to the Department of Labor position.

Now he can get back to the satisfying work of promoting heart attacks on a bun in sexually suggestive ways.

The real labor of the nation.

The Senate will routinely notify the President when one of his nominees isn't going to get confirmed, to give the nominee a chance to withdraw his name before sustaining the embarrassment of a public denial. Puzder didn't have the votes for confirmation, even with another historic tie-breaking vote from Vice President Pence, so his nomination goes by the boards.

Sad!

The trick here is to post funny answers, facts are boring.

Think about the spirit of the OP that you guys are responding to. You can't go wrong with that.

Critical error for someone who isn't already a GOP/Washington insider.
