Corker, Flake, Murkowsky and Collins are still a problem.
Not really unless Kav says something stupid which he won’t
No they're not. McConnell has got this locked down. When it comes to judges, the Turtle isn't taking any prisoners. They're going to piss and moan for their donors and for the liberal media, but in the end, they're going to vote to confirm Kavanaugh.
“Corker, Flake, Murkowsky and Collins are still a problem.”
false. Corker has said he’s gonna vote for Kavanaugh ... both Flake and Collins have pretty much indicated they’re gonna vote for Kavanaugh assuming Ford’s testimony is the same nothing-burger as the stuff she’s already said ... Murkowsky is whining about a nonsensical FBI investigation, but it’s just whining: she’ll vote YES ... McConnell said just today that they’ve got the votes ... judicial committee vote scheduled for Friday and full Senate vote likely on Monday or Tuesday ... Pubs won’t hold a vote in the full Senate they know they’ll lose ...
The hearing will not be over in one setting.....they will stretch this out for weeks once it begins.....GOP are fools.
Murkowski said today that she would love FBI investigation but she doesn’t want to delay the process any further- which I think is a good sign. Hopefully Ford won’t show up but it depends how much money she was offered.
Flake's retiring, but McTurtle can strip the others of their committee memberships. He can even make things difficult for Flake after he leaves - a Senate majority leader has a lot of pull with a lot of people....
