ATTN: Heitkamp, Donnelly and Manchin...

Choose wisely, kids.

I just had a conversation with a colleague who said they couldn’t believe he hasn’t dropped out yet,” the second lawmaker said Monday evening. “There was a time he could have done it gracefully and could have protected the Supreme Court.”

Protect the SC. Thank about that statement coming from one of the Rats. All of this was to get hm to withdraw thereby saving the red Stae rats.

They’re being asked to vote against their constituents’ wishes. They pretty much toast anyway.

When you’re a liberal Democrat from a Red State, you’re living on borrowed time and 2018 was always a tough year.

But Kavanaugh may well seal their fate.

“The president later told associates that senators should have been forced to vote down Kavanaugh and suffer the political backlash”

Once again Trump was exactly right but the jackass Senate didn’t listen to him. Now we have this circus.

The lunatic Rat base is throwing away a Senate majority. If they had left Kavanaugh alone, it would have made life easier for Red State Dems.

As it stands now, they’re screwed.

Alex Bolton...I get the strange perception I am detecting a certain pattern of deliberately duplicitous behavior in this author...

as long as McConnell forces a vote, whatever the result, we win.
If he pulls the vote, all bets are off

Claire McGaskill should be on that list as well.

This article could not have been more biased against Kavanaugh.

While not a Trump state, NJ’s Menendez is losing ground and is ahead by only 2 points from 13 a month ago. THIS COULD BE HUGE!

This vote is worth having precisely BECAUSE it will cause bitter divisiveness within the Democrat Party.

I suspect though that if it’s clear Mitch has 50+1 lined-up Manchin and Heitkamp will be cut loose to vote yea.

Now we have this circus.

This circus is great. It has created memes that well endure forever. We have Stolen Valor, false in one false in all. Then we have the Man without a Country FFFFlake. It just goes on and on.

I think Trump chose to keep the circus going precisely because it was inflicting huge political damage on the Democrats.

Personally I wish he would have had more concern for the future of the process. The next one is going to be an absolute rugby scrum with no rules.

This is the hill to die on. Everybody vote - in November for the rest of us and this Friday, hopefully, for the Senators.

>> and a confirmation vote is slated to take place a month before Election Day.

Only because Red Star Commie Democrats delayed the vote by 2 weeks.

I don’t buy this Red-State-Blue-State-1-State-2-State bullstalin. The Left assigned those colors/names. prior to the Bush II election, they didn’t play that game.

who would have just enough time to be confirmed before Congress adjourns for the year.

But not before the election Heidi. You blew it. A clear bright-line choice between good and evil and you waffled. Bye.

This is exactly why Trump wants the vote asap ... some of the polls in those red states show the dem senator behind ... make them all vote now ...

I think we will find that Collins, Murkowski, and Flake are all irrelevant ...
