Here is an earlier post that sheds some additional light on the Senate RATs:

Basically, some of them are telling Chucky Schmuckie to GFY!
This is going to drive the MSM-Democrats even more nuts.
IMHO Schumer told President Trump privately that Kavanaugh would be a go, even if publicly they would be against him. Trump knows he has the votes.
McCain is a definite no.
The Senate is composed of 100 of the most power people in the world. No one wants to give up that power and the perks that go along with it. Sure, some of them won’t want to support Kavanaugh. On the other hand, it’s a nice cushy position and they will never have anything quite like it again. At some point, self preservation kicks in, and they’ll vote for self preservation.
Vote them out anyway , they’ll turn on you in the end
President Trump engineered a we win, you lose scenario for the unhinged left.
Lesser Presidents would have bent to the pressure and nominated Garland.
What is funny is the Democrat Senators in conservative states are still at risk, and Trump’s victory at the supreme court will bump up Republican enthusiasm and create despair among the far left Progressives.
The bottom line is, you vote against, Brett Kavanaugh, you will lose your senate seat if you are running in a “red state”. But...even some Democrat Blue/Purple state Senators will vote yes for Kavanaugh. Possibles, Bill Nelson, Tim Kaine, Debbie Stabenow, joe Manchin, Tammy Baldwin, Joe Donnelly, and about five or six more.
And if these fools vote no, Trump will be hitting their states with massive campaign rallies, telling his faithfuls to defeat you all. Democrats, who do you listen, to, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, or POTUS, Donald J Trump?
It’s self-preservation, but I’ll take it.
They will vote for survival. Remember the Senators are feathering their nests. Can’t interrupt that.
Kavanaugh will get at least 55 votes for confirmation. The Progressives/Socialists/Communists can bitch and moan, but Judge Kavanaugh will become Justice Kavanaugh.
They understand they’re not about to lose their power and perks just because Chuckie tells them to take one for the team.
Rule number one, if you piss off your constituents so much they actually get out and vote, the democrat in office won't be the democrat who wins the election. True, it may be a different democrat, but the hog that gets shoved away from the pig trough doesn't care that the party is still doing fine, the hog cares that it's no longer getting a share of the illegal cash.
A consolation prize position is all well and good, in fact, all bureaucrats can aspire to. But it's not in the mainstream of the corruption the way a Senator or Congressman is, not by a long shot.
When your party isn't the majority, little things like constituents that don't usually matter, become even more important which is why several of these democrat bastards are going to vote for whoever Trump nominates and then go hat in hand to McTurtle asking to be remembered when passing out goodies to take home to their State are under consideration.
It's almost, but not quite, to the "every man for himself" stage and if the socialist liar from the Bronx actually wins the election and heads to DC that'll be the last straw. There won't be a democrat block then, there will be several democrat factions.
If the scum sucking Republicans can get even a half way decent replacement for Ryan they'll be able to play those factions off against one another for thirty years. Given the history of the Republicans in Congress, though, they'll probably successfully play them off against one another for four or five years then start cowering before whichever faction has the most jerks like Maxine on TV all the time.
JMHo
Great news.
How in the H can you not vote for the Presidents Pick as long as he is not a pervert. Like the Dems...
Let them vote for K
Then let the local left wingers vote third party or sit it out
WINNING-WINNING
“Democratic leaders had removed the filibuster for other federal judgeships in 2013 to confirm President Barack Obama’s nominees to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, which was prompted by GOP obstruction that followed extensive Democratic filibustering of President George W. Bush’s nominees to federal judgeships.”
Note that the above is NEVER reported by our so-called ‘mainstream’ media outlets. They only mention (correctly) that Republicans removed the filibuster for Supreme Court justices in 2017.
This is a TEXTBOOK case of how the media uses OMISSIONS as a tool to mold public opinion to their cause...they PURPOSELY omit context and make it appear that the Republicans are using their power in the Senate to change the rules to suit their purposes.
This is why I NEVER watch their TV news.
I’m sure the ten Democrats running in states that Trump won want this guy confirmed as fast as possible.
The closer the vote comes to Election Day, the worse their situation becomes. Especially if Collins OR Murkowski is a no.
If both are noes, then the Dems can all vote no without a problem.
If there was ANYONE in the dem leadership that had an ounce of brains, they would attempt some type of leverage here.
For example, Chuckie can cut a deal to quickly confirm kavanaugh with ease in exchange for a 60 yea confirmation on the next available nomination, knowing all to well its the only play they have to have a say when rbg goes.
Why would it hurt swing-state Dems to vote against Kavanaugh?
Because they would appear partisan and unfair?
Because Trump is popular in swing states?
Or what?
