What's not clear to me is why someone reluctant to confirm Gabbard over National Security concerns would so eagerly support and vote for Donald Trump. You don't like that Gabbard has said nice things about Putin? Your man is so into Putin that he has no pants left around his knees. He stole classified documents and left them in the bathroom. As big of a risk as Gabbard is at DNI, you all support the biggest security risk in the biggest position.
And you want to supply Ukraine, but you vote for Trump? You support the guy who extorted them while president? Who's in the sack with the guy who started the war against them? Nikki Haley, this is what was so much more preferable than a Harris presidency?
Or how about people who vote for Trump because they want to protect their daughters from biological males on the field hockey team, so their reaction is to vote for a guy who brags about "grabbing them by the p****," who is an adjudicated rapist, and who promptly nominated multiple people for Cabinet posts who have abused women and young women sexually.
Also, he didn’t do anything to stop that stuff his first term, but that doesn’t seem to register. Also, he slipped into dressing rooms during Miss Teen USA pageants, but Kamala said something five years ago about a thing that never happens, so gotta vote for the pedo to protect the girls.
Or how about the Latino men voting for him because he would be good for the economy? I just shake my head at the combination of Trump's dumb luck...in that he's set to inherit 2 economies that are vastly better than the one he handed Biden. Not to mention his 6 bankruptcies, etc.
He's a salesman...not a businessman and our country is full of a bunch of willing suckers.
What I can’t wait for is when Trump tries to negotiate a deal to end the Ukraine war and Putin doesn’t participate. It will make Donald’s head explode.
The only thing you could point to is that Tulsi would actually read and pay attention to the Presidential Daily (Weekly?) Briefing and therefore be a more competent security risk?
While I can't forgive those who oppose Gabbard but still voted for Trump, the fact is that they know Trump is a lazy coward with ADD, who counts on his minions to do all the heavy lifting. And when they do refuse, or threaten mass resignation, as in the case of the 2020 Jeffrey Clark debacle, he pouts and backs down. Their main (only?) priority of Trump's first term, and Biden's term, was to get Trump re-elected. With him now a lame duck, and a rapidly aging one at that, there's less incentive to give him everything he wants. Of course, many will still try, even if it kills them.
It seems to be the case. And also Trump seems to be testing the Senate like a toddler tests a parent. Matt Gaetz was one too many cookies. I hope more go back in the jar.
The problem is he will use Gabbard to enact his pro-Putin agenda. Perhaps Trump is counting on the fact that she’s a Russian asset, so when she is arrested for handing over , he can just say, “Tulsi Gabbard, who? I hardly know the lady! Or Bondi, could just kill any investigation..:)
Recall that Trump's first DNI wondered out loud it Trump was being blackmailed by Putin. Doesn't reassure me that Coats was wrong when Trump installs a Kremlin approved DNI.
What could Putin have on Trump in terms of blackmail that could possibly effect Trump? Nothing effects Trump. To me, it's more likely Putin is bribing Trump and has been for quite some time.
Biden's approval rating tanked after the chaos of the withdrawal from Afghanistan. What is going to happen to Ukrainian citizens is going to make Gaza look like a humanitarian effort. I wonder how they will cover it on Fox News?

I think a lot of Republican senators didn’t vote for trump, but wouldn’t admit that publicly.

Yes, I agree. Why worry about Gabbard when you just handed the nuclear codes to Putin's best buddy?
Nevertheless, I manage to worry about Gabbard.
The problem is he will use Gabbard to enact his pro-Putin agenda. Perhaps Trump is counting on the fact that she’s a Russian asset, so when she is arrested for handing over , he can just say, “Tulsi Gabbard, who? I hardly know the lady! Or Bondi, could just kill any investigation..:)
Meant “hand over state secrets”

A possible Trump Tower in Moscow? Beyond that no blackmail. (that is simply gist for speculation)
Putin has the receipts of the Russian oligarchs that trump owes money to. Possibly a deviant sex tape or two.
That requires shame, a conscience and embarrassment. Trump has none. Remember the access Hollywood tape?
Of course Putin has the receipts, it’s his money! The oligarchs are just the straw men!..:)
Doing Putin's bidding is so important to Trump, he promised to hand over Ukraine even before he takes office.
Biden's approval rating tanked after the chaos of the withdrawal from Afghanistan. What is going to happen to Ukrainian citizens is going to make Gaza look like a humanitarian effort. I wonder how they will cover it on Fox News?
Peace in our times! :(
