Mitch McConnell has a warning for Democrats demanding copious documents on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh: Be careful what you wish for.
The Senate majority leader privately told senior Republicans on Wednesday that if Democrats keep pushing for access to upwards of a million pages in records from President Donald Trump’s high court pick, he’s prepared to let Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote slip until just before November’s midterm elections, according to multiple sources.
Delaying the vote past September would serve a dual purpose for McConnell, keeping vulnerable red-state Democrats off the campaign trail while potentially forcing anti-Kavanaugh liberals to swallow a demoralizing defeat just ahead of the midterms. Senators said McConnell believes the Democratic base will be “deflated” if they raise hopes of defeating Kavanaugh only to lose just days before the election.
I couldn’t agree with you more. We all know he’s a master of the shiv in the back. On the occasions when a conservative is not the shivee, but rather the shiver, it’s a refreshing change

Generally agree with your assessment of Mitch. Tried to get my in-laws to vote for Bevin against him in the Senate primary several years ago, which Bevin lost, before becoming governor.
That said, I think recent events have given Mitch some spine/cojones. I think getting accosted by rabid Leftists coming out of dinner with his wife and another couple was a wake-up call, one that works in our favor.
That's my thinking.
The Dems are going to vote no regardless; only the (many) weak-kneed Republicans are susceptible to going wobbly.
And every day a vote is delayed is one more day for the Dems to dredge up some fake Anita Hill type "scandal" to intimidate them into changing their vote.
Yes, at least the yertl has some value, unlike Lyin’ Ryan who has NO value that I can ascertain.
McConnell growing a spine and using his power as majority leader.
Okay, who kidnapped McConnell?

“pusillanimous ... Good vocabulary word.”
I believe that is the actual “root” of current slang word, “pu$$y”. Really.
LOL Makes sense
The man has been super on judges. That is worth a lot. I wish he would get better on the rest of the MAGA agenda but he has been great at this.
You go Turtle!
McConnell knows how to play hardball, I just wish he’d play it more often.

I thought the insult “pussy” was short for pusillanimous?
Seems so
I think that may have worken him up a bit.
Yep, here’s where you want Sen McConnell on your side.
I don’t remember that.
I wish he would put pressure on the republican senators, Rubio and Scott, to get their heads out of their asses and confirm the Judge for the 9th Circus.
“It would still be an honor to ever have been nominated for that court, I would suppose.”
Yeah, just ask Judge Robert Bork.
Anyway, McYertle seems to be suffering from a sudden stiffening of the spine. Hope it works.
Yertle The Turtle. One of Dr. Seuss’s lesser known characters. I haven’t thought about him in years.
He never had his own cartoon show like Touche’ Turtle.
