If you had predicted before the election that Donald Trump's second administration would seek to hand some of the most sensitive and powerful roles in government to... you might have been accused of fearmongering.
Following the announcement of Trump's unconventional slate of Cabinet picks, serious Republicans attempted to make clear that they are still in charge and won't let things get out of hand.
The Gaetz pick, in particular, drew immediate derision. Gaetz "will never get confirmed," an unnamed Republican senator told Fox News.
It is exactly what Republicans said would stop Trump from receiving the nomination in 2015, from winning the presidency in 2016, and from reclaiming the party's leadership after the ignominy of January 6.
