Why not? He's got the background for the job, at the very least. He's a loyal little toadie, when push comes to shove. He's guaranteed to get confirmed, since Senators love waving each other through confirmation. And he's a vicious piece of shit who will be more than happy to feed Trump's appetite for revenge.
I agree he's dangerous. And there's a real chance he'll plant a knife in Trump's back at the first opportunity. But do you really think Rubio or Hegseth or Gaetz wouldn't do the same?
Toadie: yes, loyal: no. He's been on Trump's shit list since 2015. Too much weasly ambition. The other three are coked out frat boys, not Nixon wannabes.
You think he'll go to Paxton? I figured he'd just name another Senator - Hawley or Cruz - who can breeze through confirmation without issue.
I can't see even Trump picking Ted Cruz.

It's more that literally everyone seems to hate Ted Cruz and would rather gouge out their eyes than work with him.
You forget that Ted Cruz' wife looks like a dog. You've got a dog wife ted!
Also he's a little weasel, nobody trusts him, I don't think he's gonna get anything
He's got a parade of millionaire/billionaire friends in Texas who fully have his back.
Depends on whether Trump can strong arm Congress to go on a long recess and just rubber stamp all of his picks through recess appointments.
