Uh-oh. Did Chuck Schumer forget to whip his own caucus?

Uh-oh. Did Chuck Schumer forget to whip his own caucus?

They all went to the Folsom Street Fair to get whipped - that's kinda how they roll. They are not back yet.

Red state Rats can’t ignore the voters this close to an election.

Once it’s known if/that K will be confirmed, unprincipled Democrats like Manchin, Donnelly and Heitcamp will be the chameleons they are and vote yea for purely political reasons.

[FreedBird]

The Dem. Senators would rather vote for Kavanaugh. They know if they don’t, they will lose for sure in midterms.

[ETCM]

They will do what Chuck tells them to do. Only if their vote is not needed will he give them permission to vote for confirmation.

[FreedBird]

The Dem. Senators would rather vote for Kavanaugh. They know if they don’t, they will lose for sure in midterms.

"We're getting close to the end here. I don’t know if we’re ever going to find a time or not," Tester said, adding that he wants to discuss issues such as privacy, campaign finance law and abortion. "If I don’t meet with him, it’s a problem."

You had two months to meet with him after he was named to the seat, you dope.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

If the vote is Friday, this will put huge pressure on Manchin. If Manchin votes against President Trump's nominee on Friday, President Trump will rip him a new one at Saturday's MAGA rally in Wheeling.

if the Senate votes no and the Republicans gain any seats in the Senate in the upcoming election - as looks likely, I’d just resubmit him as soon as the new Senators were seated if I were President Trump.

“I’m very open. I haven’t closed any doors at all on Kavanaugh. I just want to make sure there’s a fair, open and civil hearing,” said Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, perhaps the most conservative Democrat. “The man has to have a chance to clear his name, but these ladies have the complete opportunity to tell their story.”

Calling them 'ladies' is a bit generous: about as 'generous' as they are rumoured to have been with their favors in the past.

[The Fop]

The way that Kavanaugh choked up at the end of his interview, when asked if Trump was still behind him, was a totally sincere and spontaneous reaction. If he were lying, he would not have had this reaction. I doubt that I’m the only one who made this observation.

When you contrast the fact that they are trying to paint this guy out to be a pervert based on the flimsiest of allegations going back to his high school and college days, with the emotion that Kavanaugh projected in his interview, not to mention his confession that he was a virgin through most of college, I think this will have a big effect on people’s perceptions of this whole disgusting circus.

"Still, Democratic leaders are confident of a unanimous "no" vote against Kavanaugh from their caucus, especially if Ford comes off as credible,..."

"...comes off as credible,..."

That's why Ford's lawyers are being allowed by the senators on the Committee to specify everything about how the production will be done (which reporters, how cameras are situated, one radio station, which television production company, etc.). University feminists and homo-activists specialize in drama and productions. It's part of commie/fascist propaganda work.

Those Republican senators are such romantic knight in shining armor for the ladies. [Urp]

Some of them don’t want to be fully associated with the mental cases running their Party..they are still sheep but also worry about their own careers above all else.

“I’m very open. I haven’t closed any doors at all on Kavanaugh. I just want to make sure there’s a fair, open and civil hearing,”

Yeah, so the woman can spout her unsubstantiated, debunked, no evidence accusation again.

What the heck is he looking for? Kavanaugh is not going to withdraw his nomination. His only hope is that he can claim that the hearing was unfair and/or uncivil, which has nothing to do with whether BK is qualified or not.

[Know et al]

even after the pair of sexual assault allegations against the Supreme Court nominee

I noticed they didn't say they were debunked allegations. I'm sure that was just an oversight. (yeah sure)
