Four Trump cabinet nominees may not 'get through' as GOP lawmakers balk: MSNBC panel

According to MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire, Donald Trump is getting increasing warnings from GOP lawmakers who hold the keys to approving his cabinet choices that four nominees may have an uphill battle.

During the discussion on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," co-host Joe Scarborough offered, "The four most horrifying selections thus far and they actually rank them in order, and I think depending on where you are, you know, you can move that list around, but I would tell you, for a lot of Republicans that are in the Senate and the House and who care about American national security, if you ask them, they will say it is Department of Defense."

"If you talk to people, again, really conservative Republicans in the House, really conservative republicans in the Senate, they will say it is [DNI nominee] Tulsi Gabbard –– they're horrified by Tulsi Gabbard," he added. "If you talk to a lot of other people, they will say it is Matt Gaetz and John Heilemann has great reporting on that in a second about talking to Republicans on the Hill yesterday. So, it really is -- there are four picks right now that -- and, of course, RFK Jr., the New York Post keeps pounding RFK every day saying how nutty that selection is."

That led co-host Lemire to comment, "To Matt Gaetz, I was talking to a number of Republicans on the Hill yesterday, senators and aides, and there is real doubt that Gaetz can get through –– growing momentum here that this is one pick they will say 'no' to. I'm told some of the senators are telling Trump, 'Look, don't make us vote on this one, because we're going to have to vote against you, don't make us stand up against you, because this one is simply not palatable, we can't do it.'"
