RawStory: 'Epic battle': Insiders warn Trump determined to win new Senate's first 'political crisis'
RawStory - ‘Epic battle’: Insiders warn Trump determined to win new Senate's first 'political crisis'

Donald Trump sees criticism over his most controversial cabinet picks as a threat to the “almost uncheckable” power he intends to wield — and he is not going to back down, an insider in the president-elect’s camp told CNN.
In an analysis Monday, the network wrote that a source warned he was ready to wage an “epic battle” to force through the picks.
“Trump is adamant he’s not going to give in as he seeks people who will fulfill his goals of tearing down the Washington establishment in a second term he pledged to devote to retribution,” the report stated.
“A source told CNN over the weekend that Trump sees (Matt) Gaetz as his most important pick. The president-elect wants the former Florida congressman confirmed “100%,” the source said. “He is not going to back off. He’s all in.”

Just so everyone gets this: This isn't about any one confirmation. This is about ending the Senate's role in confirmations.
