Polling results from this morning. If the public likes you, the GOP likes you...you get through. Gaetz wasn't a popular choice unlike the others...ergo he's gone.
Also, Trump's proposed cabinet is occupied by a large number of folks who are well known by the public. He's branding his administration further by branding his cabinet with folks that he believes will be broadly popular. Folks who will be fiercely loyal, follow orders, and not dictate strategy. He's the one that will do that.
This is pretty unusual. Voldemort's predecessors normally filled their cabinet posts with folks who were well-known around the Beltway (Washington fixtures) but not across America.
One additional detail. Hegseth's background with women is pretty unsettling. There's apparently no substantive evidence that he committed sexual assault but the guy has a long history of cheating on his current and previous two wives. He's no pillar of virtue. As the dets come out his popularity is likely to tank and his chances of Senate approval. Sounds like this guy wasn't vetted properly.
