Seriously though, you do make the good point!
It's a electoral question for the Senators.
It can be fairly phrased this way:
Are there two Republican Senators who would lose their seats if they didn't vote for her?
Looking especially at the Northeast- maybe so don't you think?
And then there's McCain... who knows what he'd do.
True, and that is a chilling thought. But again, it would presumably never get that far because it only takes 41 Senators to sustain a filibuster. And Republican Senators who failed to support such a filibuster of Hillary, let alone actually vote to confirm her, would be risking their seats.
By the way, Who Are the Brain Police?
