The rinos hate him but if he's AG he can't disrupt the house again. Trump gets a loyal AG who won't look to prosecute him and removes a threat from the house. Could be worse.

I'm a bit mixed on Gaetz but....Matt Gaetz faces GOP Senate opposition after Trump selection for attorney general
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz's selection by President-elect Trump for attorney general led to immediate pushback from some Republicans, who forecast a bleak outlook for a confirmation.
Legacy establishment Republicans still pissed at him for going after their House establishment GOP counterpart, McCarthy.
This has nothing to do with "ethics", they have no idea what it means.
Senate RINOs about to show their true colors....again
The party is in the midst of a cold civil war as it moves from GOPe to MAGA GOP.

Wasn't there that woman that tried to blackmail Gaetz about something related to sexual abuse? Even though she was arrested IIRC and it was shown to be a hoax. Watch the Dems run with it like they do everything else related to Trump that was debunked over and over.

Some dems may vote for him to piss off the Repubes who want to block him .... ya never know ...
Wish that were so, but Gaetz attacked the Uni-party going after McCarthy. And those that he would scour from DoJ all play on the same team.
They aren't jeopardizing their Uni-party power in favor of spite. Their spite will be satisfied just fine screwing with Trump and Gaetz.
Which has been your observation? Republicans breaking ranks to join Dems or Dems breaking ranks to join Repubs?

If it plays out where Schumer sees an advantage to demonstrate that the Dems can exert power in the Senate over divided Republicans, Schumer might let a couple purple state Dems help split up Republicans. Schumer might even work on a leveraged quip pro quo with Thune to either have Dems vote or not vote for the nominee. Dems work as a team, never let a crisis go to waste but none would back a Republican unless it's approved by the Minority leader. Either way Schumer will somehow leverage any and every Republican division, including the AG nomination. My bet is he will just use it to smear, but ya never know.

There is a very good chance that Gaetz does NOT get the job. Too many in the Senate despise him.
There are already 3 Senators that have stated publicly that they will not support his new position.
Maybe he knows something already though, he has already resigned.

Not because the keys he developed have no merit, they actually do, it's because he allowed his own bias to get in the way of interpreting them. It had nothing to do with misinformation or Musk. Is there a special key for Musk?...no.
Public perception that determines some of the more subjective keys and must be correctly interpreted. The way he applies it is by the MSM's messaging and not by what people are really thinking and feeling. Doesn't matter when the media says the economy is great if people can't afford groceries. Perception trumps messaging. But just blame "misinformation".
FFS we just went through 20% inflation, (much higher in areas) and he called the short term economy key for Harris...WTF.
At a minimum 5 of the keys he called for Harris should have favored Trump. If he wasn't a boot-licker for the libs he could have predicted the landslide that he pathetically missed.
The keys do have merit. That was one of the reasons for all of the manufactured scandals during Trumps first term. Although there were no scandals and they were hoaxes, they needed to create the public perception.
Expect more of the same for the next four years in preparation for 2028.

I dont know enough about the man, but from what I have seen the man is ferocious, laser focused, and can care fucking less who you are or what party your from If you did something wrong he wont have mercy. I guess that why he has so many enemy's on both sides. I dont know the guys life story but I say give em a shot. If Trump is going to go after the pharmaceutical companys DOJ FBI You need a hard charger ,
Unfortunately I use my mother as a litmus test of what is coming from the Dems.
"Matt Gaetz was convicted of trafficking and pedophilia. He's just going to go after Democrats and opponents of The Man. He's the worst choice for AG."
This is how bad she's become. She won't even say Trump's name anymore. It's just "The Man".
And she used to be such an intelligent and strong willed woman.

That is a very real possibility GOP, but at the same time, in this phase of the transition it is a great example of 'recon by fire' and has already caused some RINO's to give away their position.
If somehow he gets in, win win.

“Generally, nominating reputed sex traffickers for the highest law-enforcement job in the land is not a good idea,” said Marc Short, the longtime chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence.
Shortly after Trump’s announcement, Gaetz abruptly resigned from his House seat. In his four terms there, Gaetz left a trail of bad blood and scandals. He’s viewed on Capitol Hill as a pro-Trump brawler who has infuriated his own GOP colleagues as much as he’s angered the left. He helped derail former Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s speakership, he has nearly gotten into physical confrontations with colleagues, and he strategized with Trump in the weeks leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, about ways to overturn the 2020 election results. He was investigated for sex trafficking of a minor, though he was never charged and he fiercely denied the allegations.
