It's interesting that Neera Tanden's nomination to OMB has rattled conservatives more than any other proposed member of the administration and yet the Twitter Left has simultaneously declared this nomination as some kind of personal affront.
Sure, y'all, put on your full battle make-up to oppose someone who is already opposed by some in the right-wing of the Senate for being too progressive. I am sure this will result in someone more progressive as a nominee. Makes perfect sense.
Maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, if the GOP is opposed to Tanden b/c she is too progressive, your own attacks won't result in a more left-wing appointment. Given that the Senate--not pod-casters--makes these decisions, we might just end up w/ someone more conservative.
(sometimes when I say something is interesting, it is a polite way of actually saying I think it's boring but worth noting)
