Zero percent chance he gets confirmed.  Zero.

He's under investigation for drug charges, sex with minors, and other stupid behavior.

Zero.

...under investigation only by the House Ethics Committee, a probe that effectively ended  when he resigned from Congress.

  Yes and....he will still require Senate confirmation.

 

  I don't believe that will happen.  Rs may have a majority but they'd be fools to squander the election momentum on this tool.

Zero.

 

Edit:  This guy is such an idiot, he's already resigned without realizing it's not a "sure thing" that he's going to be the AG.  News flash:  he isn't.  So now he's out of two jobs in one day.

 

It will get interesting if he doesn't pass muster in the senate. Then he'll be out of a job. This appointment is a quid quo pro to ensure Gaetz doesn't get investigated and thereby not implicating Trump.

You seem bothered by this…we can take it as a good sign. 
The more the left screams and hollers against someone, the further it confirms that they are the right person for the job.

 

  Yeah, except I'm not "the left".  Not even close.

 

  Gaetz is a stunningly poor choice and has been an exceptionally poor member of Congress, as in AOC poor.  

 

  Republican Senators are already on record stating their doubts.....

 

  "But multiple Republican senators have already signaled they have some heartburn over Gaetz, an outspoken bomb-thrower who was previously under a yearlong DOJ investigation stemming from accusations he had a sexual relationship with a minor. The DOJ ultimately did not press charges.

 

"He will never get confirmed," a Republican senator, granted anonymity to speak freely, told Fox News Digital. 

One Senate Republican source simply said, "Ain’t gonna happen," about the prospect of Gaetz's confirmation."

Neil Milner, a former University of Hawaii professor says, "she doesn't have the experience for sure" and given "a position that is likely above her pay grade."

She’s another GateKeeper, a watchdog,

eyes & ears of the entire bureaucracy in that Department !

Fascinating how the democrats just spent the last 4 years desperately trying to ignore/deny the existence of an abandoned laptop showing a poweful figure to team dem flying young woman across state lines for paid sex(sx trafficking) and all manner of drugs, firearms and corruption with Americas enemies offenses, plus dropping the N bomb every 3rd word, yet now a GOP'er has consensual sex between 2 adults and a few lines racked up which sends them into a tailspin and meltdown.

I have to question whether the left are sincere about anything at all?

It will be interesting to see how far Matt

goes into Barr and Durhams lack of 

investigation into Muellers  Doj team !

Everybody was under the impression 

they would investigate them!

And that's the reason he resigned, not the possible AG position, which I don't think will happen but.....

Trump's team is brilliant. With Gaetz out of the House, they just got rid of a potential nutjob embarrassing Trump. Sure he is nominated for AG, but it is unlikely he  will  get the job.

 

 "Asked for his response to Trump’s Cabinet picks so far, McCarthy told Bloomberg Television in an interview, “I think the choices are very good, except one.”

 

“Look, Gaetz won’t get confirmed,” he continued. “Everybody knows that.”

 

and

 

"McCarthy, a loyal Trump ally while serving in the House, was asked why the former president would bother tapping Gaetz if he knew the Florida Republican couldn’t get confirmed.  You can talk to [the] president, but it’s a good deflection from others, but it also gives …” McCarthy responded, cutting himself off. “I’ll let it stand at that.”
