We can purify every single one of those 14 out of our party and Noem would still be right where she is.

Let's stay focused on what actually matters, which is voting Republicans out of office.

given we need these Senators re-elected and I expect that was their calculation. Let them risk their positions of votes they can win.

I don't understand. None of his cabinet picks were qualified, why make it easy for him? Force him to nominate better people.
