Krauthammer: GOP Strategy to ‘Flood the Zone’ with Nominees Is a ‘Good One’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BAIER: "The transition team and the legal team helping them suggest that the president, when he’s president, will have a lot of leeway according to the law, of whom we appoint in the White House, not necessarily cabinet positions. What about the confirmation hearings? There will be a flurry, nine hearings in three days. Democrats suggesting they already have a number of targets, including Rex Tillerson and Jeff Sessions. It starts tomorrow. Your thoughts on this."
KRAUTHAMMER: "I think the strategy is a good one. Flood the zone. I think it’s a very good idea. You can count on a guy like Mitch McConnell, who is a master of procedure, to have all these nominees going through at the same time so that one story overlaps on the other. Rather than giving the Democrats a chance to hone in on one, to dominate the news with one, I think this is going to make it a lot easier. The Democrats are going to have to be careful. One of the things that helped them lose the election was that they had insisted they were in charge and nothing got done in the Congress. Part of it was the result of obstructionism."
