1. They will all be approved. the Republicans have a super majority.

Democrats can only highlight the reasons the nominees' should not be considered for office.

4. Harry Reid and Senate Democrats ended the filibuster for all executive appointments.

Absent opposition by Republicans, all of Trump's appointments will be approved.
