@marianne_levine ... and in many ways, a repeat of what we saw last year:
Mitt Romney: “I know very little about Congressman Ratcliffe. I will be looking into his background and record.”
Lamar Alexander: “I don’t know him, so I don’t have an opinion on that yet.”

@marianne_levine Rubio also suggests Grenell makes it easier for Ratcliffe’s nom: “He still holds the post in Germany, which eventually he either has to get back to or we’re going to have to put somebody else. You can’t have that post vacant. And you can’t do both jobs.” politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
