You mean giving Trump his nominees the way the GOP gave Odumbass his?

How unusual!

Trump needs to hammer Manchin day in and day out even if he votes “yes”, by pointing to this column as evidence that the guy’s a snake in the grass.

Ed Rollins said if any Republican votes aginst Kavanaugh, except Flake of course, he is going to primary them with his PAK. I don’t think Murdowski and Collins are up for reeclection ore they?

doesn’t want to be the 50th vote for Kavanaugh

So Manchin will do what is convenient for Manchin, as always.

"doesn’t want to be the 50th vote for Kavanaugh,"

As I have said from the beginning, Manchin will vote as told by Schumer. In this case, Chuck will give Manchin permission to vote for confirmation only if his vote has no impact on the outcome. It doesn't matter if he is the 49th yes vote or the 51st, as long as his vote doesn't matter he will be allowed to vote yes.

TOLD YOU... there is no LEANING.. he was ALWAYS a yes...

The only way he wasn’t going to vote to confirm was if HIS vote would have been the 50th vote, then he may have taken the democratic bribe and golden parachute and ended his political career with a no vote...

Same is true of a few other Dems.. now that its obvious Kavanaugh has the votes, expect a few more to come out yes....

Was always going to be a 52-55 vote approval... This has all been political theater.

My bet, Donnelly will likely be the next to start floating he is thinking yes.

“doesn’t want to be the 50th vote for Kavanaugh”

This is everything wrong with politics. His only job here is to make up his own mind on whether or not the nominee is qualified.

I certainly hope that no one in West Virginia drinks as much as Christine Crazy Fraud or Ms. Gang Bang of 1982-2012, so that they don’t inadvertently vote to re-elect Senator Spineless Sack of Schit.

The good thing is that he’ll likely tick off those few WV residents who are hard-core Leftists, and probably not fool that many others, so he’ll be consulting starting in January.

Guaranteed to support Schumer in January as Leader.

Can anyone ask him if he wants Democrats to win the Senate? If the Senate ends up 50-50 is he a Democrat?

I think we do have him, and Murkowski. And hopefully Collins so we can let Flake be a flake.

Who agrees or disagrees?

Manchin "doesn’t want to be the 50th vote for Kavanaugh," but he's okay being the 51st or 52nd vote. In other words, Manchin seems fine with voting for Kavanaugh in a scenario where GOP senators don't defect and Kavanaugh's confirmation is assured.

A man of conviction!

With Manchin coming on board, Heitkamp might flip back to Yes.

A little birdie told me the final vote will be 53-47.

Let's see if that comes true.

This d-bag.

The party leaders will let him vote for Kavanaugh IF KAVANAUGH HAS THE VOTES.
