'Won't even be close': Up to 30 GOP senators reportedly willing to reject Gaetz nomination [1]

Just saw this at Raw Story, based on what the WSJ is reporting tonight:

Trump has faced criticism this week over his selection of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for attorney general, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii for director of national intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for secretary of Health and Human Services.

Senate Republicans have said Gaetz in particular could have trouble making it through a confirmation hearing.

On Thursday evening, people familiar with discussions among Senate Republicans told the Journal that far more than three are prepared to reject Gaetz's nomination should the matter come up for a vote. Some have also said discussions are ongoing about trying to persuade Trump to rescind his nomination of Gaetz, or to have Gaetz withdraw his name, according to the report.
