Rand Paul Flip-Flops On Secretary Of State Nominee Mike Pompeo

I really didn't know anything about this guy, but he has a phenomenal background.  Democrats opposing him are so petty.  Proving on regular basis that they are consumed with identity politics and are intellectually bankrupt (something I've been saying for years).  As bad and spineless as the GOP is, their saving grace is that Democrats are even worse.

This is a good switch from Paul. Pompeo looks like a great pick.

Republican Senator John Barrasso on the Senate's 57-42 vote and impact on President Trump's foreign policy.

The Senate voted Thursday to confirm CIA chief Mike Pompeo as President Trump’s next secretary of state, ending a contentious nomination battle.

Pompeo was confirmed on a 57-42 vote.

All Republicans present voted to confirm Pompeo. Seven senators who caucus with the Democrats voted yes, including several in tight re-election contests, like North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin and Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly.

After the vote, Pompeo was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, a State Department spokesman said.
