I bet a yuppie foodstamp that neither Gabbard nor Gaetz gets the job in the end, but putting them in the running now beats up any remaining Senate GOP sellouts/normies who might like to think they have some line they can't cross ... in order to eventually put in someone slightly less terrifying as the "compromise" candidate.

Uhh.. did you miss the part where Trump demanded the Senate Majority Leader do any recess appointments he wants? And John Thune (now SML) said 'of course'. So Gaetz will be installed, no confirmation hearing needed.

I somehow doubt that Trump is capable of that much strategic thinking.
I somehow doubt it's him doing the thinking.

That's actually a somewhat optimistic scenario, if it happens. I'm more pessimistic about this than you are.
Well, I am only betting a yuppie foodstamp.
