And ? Is this a positive or negative In your opinion?.Senate panel narrowly endorses Mike Pompeo for secretary of state after Trump intervenes with key Republican
The president persuaded a committed GOP naysayer to back Pompeo, securing the backing of the majority of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after the vote, if not Pompeo's ultimate confirmation, seemed in jeopardy only hours earlier. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) agreed to vote present, procedurally making it possible to send Pompeo��s nomination to the floor.
The vote was 11 in favor, 9 opposed and 1 voting present. Only 10 of the 11 senators who backed Pompeo were present in the committee room, making Coons��s switch �� from opposed to simply present �� necessary to clear the nomination.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who had pledged to oppose Pompeo, tweeted about Trump��s outreach and his newfound support for Pompeo just moments before the committee��s vote began. Pompeo had been expected to fail the panel vote but secure the support of the full Senate later this week.

But the mistake people make in trying to explain this phenomenon is by approaching it in “moralistic” terms. The supposition being that as supposedly devout Christians these folks would naturally share a universal antipathy towards adultery that overcomes their burning desire to force women to bear children they neither wanted nor expected. That’s wholly misreading the roots of Evangelicalism.
The history of white Evangelical Christianity in this country can be summarized much like George Orwell summarized the totalitarian state in his seminal novel, “1984”:
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.But it’s a little more like this:
