The junior Senator from Texas is blocking one of the most qualified nominees before the Senate. Gayle Smith. She was nominated 6 months ago as the next Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development. With this refugee problem facing the world. facing our country. wouldnt it be nice if we had someone whose job it was to oversee this for our government? But. no. there is some extraneous issue the junior Senator from Texaswho is also running for Presidentis more concerned about than this important Agency. I have spoken at length about the obsession of the senior Senator from Iowa with blocking more than 20 qualified State Department nominees.
