Senate Republicans are warning that Ken Cuccinelli, who was tapped Monday to serve as the acting head of the Citizenship and Immigration Services, will not be confirmed by the GOP-controlled Senate.
 
Cuccinelli started his job atop the immigration agency Monday, a controversial move that came even after top Senate Republicans have publicly warned that the former Senate Conservatives Fund leader would face a rocky reception on Capitol Hill.
 
Trump hasn't said if he will try to get Cuccinelli confirmed to the spot on a permanent basis. But Republican senators sent a warning shot on Monday, predicting that he likely cannot be confirmed in the GOP-controlled Senate, where a nomination has to lose four Republican senators to fall short of the simple majority required for nominations.

Thune, Cornyn, and McConnell.  Trump was a fool to think this would fly.

Maybe do what other Presidents would do?  Call 'em czars, give 'em the keys and turn 'em loose.  No muss, no fuss.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

This does not surprise me.  There's been GOP static about Cuccinelli for some time now.

Cuccinelli had the audacity to tell the truth about a bunch of worthless swamp dwellers, Yes John Cornyn I'm talking about you, and this is payback time.

I agree. NONE OF THEM ARE REPUBLICANS. Liars. All demon-rats. I always wondered why some REPUBLICANS don't infiltrate democrat side.  Would even things out.  Too honorable?

That's pretty much the static I mentioned.  Romney's the McCain "no" vote, then the usual suspects take it under 50.   9999hair out0000
