Its sad. When the two Obama nominees who got dumped (due to tax issues), the message was: Hooray - 2 corrupt politicians who don't think the rules apply to them got knocked down. Today, the message is Hooray - We scored a point against Trump. Nice to see the REAL priorities of the democratic party.

Damn....some reports are saying Oprah brought him down by giving abuse allegation tape to the Senate.
The cultural war IS ON between Hollywood and the Trump Administration.....and Oprah is Robert E. Lee or General Grant.
One or the other....I'm not sure which.

Sorry you are so clueless. The critique of Pudzer includes plenty of corruption allegations. That he couldn't garner the votes says several things: lousy pick, not every crony capitalist gets a gig in the new Republican Administration, and Trump has a lot less leverage than he thought he had.
Here you go.

Puzder was public enemy #1 because he's a nightmare for anyone wanting to raise the minimum wage. He's a bottom tier pick in my opinion because I'd like to see someone highly successful from the manufacturing segment, so not that sad to see him go.
Damn. Since you started posting regularly again, it's like you are reading my freaking mind.
It's kind of creeping me out.
Not sure if its fake news, but his ex-wife has retracted all of those statements made regarding abuse, etc... She stated that they were made under the direction of prior counsel during a nasty divorce settlement.
In reality, I don't care if he got the nod or not. And if Dems can honestly say that the reason they are against him is because of these 'allegations' then so be it. But I've read 3 articles on this and all said the same thing: This is another blow to Trump. No its not. It simply delays the inevitable. Just like the failed nominations of Tom Daschle, Bill Richardson and Judd Gregg weren't a blow to Obama.

I think all of them are blows.....but hardly knockout punches or anything.
The Oprah thing is more to fire up the culture warriors on both sides than the reason I think he withdrew. I think @PDT816 is closer to correct than Oprah got him scuttled with old allegations of abuse. Those were kinda already out there.
Just between you and me, I'm cutting our board left-wingers a little bit of slack these days. Their cause just got its ass handed to it in November and sometimes facing rejection is a tough thing. We are nice guys if we allow them to go through their petty bitching phase.
The Dems discussing his household employment of an "undocumented immigrant" was way funny though. Puzder isn't a good Labor Secretary name anyhow. I'm looking for Trump to nominate somebody named Hitler.
