Article Body: 

The Washington GOP establishment’s opposition to Pete Hegseth serving as President Trump’s secretary of defense has... everything to do with resistance to Trump’s plans to reform the Department of Defense and end America’s involvement in endless foreign wars that are so beloved by the establishment.

That’s why Hegseth’s nomination is a hill Trump should die on. If a handful of Senate Republicans can sink Hegseth, they will spend the next four years undermining and obstructing Trump’s entire agenda. Trump needs to send them a message that such obstruction won’t be tolerated in his second term...

All of it amounts to an effort to do to Hegseth what Democrats and the media did to Brett Kavanaugh when Trump nominated him to the Supreme Court in 2018...

That’s why a handful of Senate Republicans killed the nomination of Matt Gaetz for attorney general, whose primary task was going to be to clean up a corrupt DOJ...

What these senators would like to do is something like a repeat of what happened during Trump’s first term, when the president was hamstrung by political appointees and career bureaucrats alike who either slow-walked his priorities or undermined him, all while lying to his face about it...

It was the same with the border and immigration. When Trump decided to end DACA, the illegal Obama-era program to grant legal status to illegal immigrants [illegal alien invaders] who had been brought to the U.S. as minors, the acting secretary of Homeland Security, Elaine Duke, initially refused to sign the memo that would end the program...

Something similar happened with Trump’s plans for building a border wall, ending Temporary Protected Status, and a host of other plans..
