Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer said Tuesday on "Special Report with Bret Baier"  that if the Democrats want to hold up Trump's cabinet confirmations as payback "they will suffer from that for 8 years."

"Revenge is not a good strategy for democrats, said Krauthammer.  "The one thing they don't want to be tagged with immediately is obstructionism."

Krauthammer said "if these guys are going to stand around and do procedural stuff that you just show on television is going to look ridiculous."

While Krauthammer understands why you would hold up someone if you think they are extreme or unqualified, he said democrats shouldn't do it for revenge.
