McConnell 'optimistic' about Kavanaugh vote after lunch with Collins

The Hill ^ | 10/05/18 | TAL AXELROD

[Electric Graffiti]

Collins is taking the floor and she’s being heckled.

[bgill]

I’m not buying it. She’s a no.

[sharkhawk]

She’s a yes. Just from the start

[texanyankee]

She’s sounding like a ‘yes’ so far.

*keeping fingers crossed*

[Electric Graffiti]

Collins...expressing her disgust with the process & the special interest groups against Kavanaugh

Sounds like a yes...

[1Old Pro]

She reviewed BK’s record, doesn’t care who is President. 19 attorneys helped her interpreted his record, met with BK for two hours, listened to testimony, spoke by telephone, met with her constituents....

[WASCWatch]

No way she’s going to vote no based on what she has said so far.

[Electric Graffiti]

Then again she sounds crazy. If I had to listen to that voice for more than 5 minutes, I’d take up a fentanyl habit.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I will say that crossing Mitch after he’s gone out on a limb like this seems like a very high-risk proposition.

[Electric Graffiti]

It DOES sound like she’s a ‘yes’ vote but there is no doubt in my mind she’s also a full on loonball.

[Deo volente]

Sounding more and more like a yes, but does she have to draw this out so long?

[Darnright]

She is laying out a very inspirational case for why she will nominate Brett Kavanaugh.

She’s a yes vote.

[Deo volente]

I’m looking at Fox right now. Split screen has the hallway mob.

Is that a protester in the hallway crying? Looks like it. I hope they’ve cleared the crazy people out of the gallery. This place will explode if Collins says yes. Hope there is adequate police there.

[Uncle Miltie]

Collins is giving a “Why I’m voting for” speech now.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#32: "And then there are conservative Senators. We have about 4-5 that side with the citizens and the rule of law."

Amen. Bears repeating. "Republican" does not mean conservative. Flake, Corker, Alexander, Collins, Murkowski, et al prove the point.

"R" jerseys don't mean squat anymore.
 

[goldstategop]

Susan Collins speaking now. She is a “yes” tomorrow for sure.

[Deo volente]

She’s no doubt loving her moment in the spotlight and will draw it out as long as possible.

The massive egos in this Senate, it makes me sick.

[goldstategop]

One of the Weak Sisters is on board. Collins is giving Murkowski cover to vote “yes” tomorrow.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Susan is enjoying her now 33 minutes of fame and it appears she will continue on.

[jyo19]

Sounds like she’s voting for Kav but Maine freepers can we PLEASE replace this senator from Planned Parenthood with Governor Paul LePage anyway?
