I am not convinced that giving Trump what he wants on these nominees is necessary for their short term survival, though they may think so. It makes it more problematic for their longer term survival if they do give in, though I doubt they think very far ahead and this won't be much of a factor in their calculations.

I'm hoping that affirming Gaetz as AG is a bridge too far. Surely there are some Senators who will find the moral fibre to act for country and decency. If they have been there for a many terms, they could decide to bite the bullet and vote no, retire in 4 years and save their self respect and ensure an honourable place in history.
