before the teabagging Freedom Caucus consumes him and spits him out because he's not obstructionist enough for them?

I'll say 24 months from the time he's sworn in. After that, he'll be sworn at.

that this jerk and his right wing party are going to wait until next week for this grand pooh-baa to make a decision if he wants the position,
How quaint.....................
This is what I think these hate and fear jerks and jerk woman in there caucus are going to do
The government needs to have programs funded by 11/5/2015
These jerks are going to put this jerk in charge and then they are going to cut and gut programs back prior to 1920
The democrats who don't want to look bad will agree, because they will come back and say that it's the best they can get for now
Then everyone on Social Security, Medicare, medicaid, Disability insurance, education bills, unemployment insurance, and other programs are going to get some kind of meat cleaver applied to them, to hell with citizens paying for these little items all there lives------------you don't need them.
The senate will try to filibuster some of the cuts and the ripping out of the programs, that will last about two days, because there will not be enough senators to stand up to this "stuff"
Then, this jerk and his fellow right wing Ayn Rand jerks will take there next four days off, like they have been doing all year, because this jerk thinks that working five days a week is beyond the pale it's his family
Right, how about the families that he and his caucus are going to be attacking relentlessly again, because they paid into the system our system to have some kind of protection-----------------not with these hypocrites


Honk-------------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016
