Scary thought...I just read that if Sessions is fired Ted Cruz is possibly going to take his spot.

[BigmanPigman]

6 of one, half dozen of the other scenario.

[LeftInTX]

1. He won't.

He's a lot of things, but he isn't stupid.

[Blue_true]

13. I agree.

Anyone who does not strike Trump's ego 24/7 is dead meat.

[Glorfindel]

2. Well, look on the bright side. At least it would get ol' crooked nose Ted out of the Senate

Idiot Texans would, of course, replace him with another repuke, but hardly anyone I can think of would be as loathsome as Cruz.

3. I don't think it is credible.

Cruz himself said he was not interested. who would be crazy enough to give up a safe senate seat to go work for Trump given how he is treating session ? Also, it would put it seat in play and the GOP does not want to lose any senators, they already can't get to 50.

4. I'm thinking it will be Christie or worse.

[nolabear]

5. I doubt it, although I do have a delicious fantasy

Of him calling up 45 right after he takes the job an saying "Now, about my father and my wife..."

[Warren DeMontague]

6. Christie.

He embodies all the necessary qualities of slavering toady and thuggish bully.

7. Rick Perry is no fan of Cruz and was encouraging ,...

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) to primary Cruz in 2018 - this was just before last year's election

Don't know where it stands now - maybe Perry forgot all about it (sorry couldn't resist)

8. Isn't he the most hated guy in the senate?

I can't imagine him getting the votes for confirmation.

[JDC]

12. Maybevto get him out of the senate

And as retribution by putting him right into the hornet's nest. Trump loves to make Cruz kiss the ring, then slap him in the face.

[Tiggeroshii]

9. They already will not hold hearings for a repreplacement via mirkowski

But given that Cruz is one of the most hated people by his colleagues in the senate, that will make the cajancws of a successful replacement to sessions even lower

[FM123]

10. Ted can't, he's way too busy - he hasn't worked his way through the whole zodiac yet, lol

[Jimbo101]

11. Trump does have a habit of jerking non-supporters around - like he did to Romney

- and there's the thing with Trump insulting Cruz' wife

I'd score it highly unlikely - but stranger things have happened (are happening)

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. I heard today on NPR that whoever in the Senate

would be scheduling a confirmation hearing has said there is no room in the schedule for any such thing.

Meaning, Republican Senators, despite their eagerness to deprive millions of health care, really haven't much more patience with all of the other shenanigans this administration is up to.

15. RUDDY, RUDDY, RUUUDYYYY!

16. My guess is that Gouliani is still considered a very loyal subject by the D'umpster's

Loyalty makes him is a good bet to be considered for the next (obedient) Attorney General.

He has been pretty quite since this Russian Collusion story got legs. My guess is that he is already caught up in it, and is smart enough to turn down the AG position if offered.

[Gothmog]

17. The GOP is concerned about losing Carnival Cruz' seat

Carnival Cruz is up in 2018 and Carnival Cruz has pissed off a ton of people. Beto O'Rouke could take Carnival Cruz if 2018 is a wave year
