Flake is already the most hated man in Arizona.

......Counting the days until he is no longer our despicable senator.

I believe that Lindsey will corral Flake. Collins will vote yes. Murkowski is an unknown

This whole fiasco was meant to drudge up _one_ good (even if unsubstantiated) reason for the Democrats to use as cover in voting against him. They couldn’t.

Still, it’s a slam-dunk that the D’s will vote against him. There’s no real downside in voting against a Trump pick in their world. The real problem lies with the wobbly R’s. And even with McCain gone there are a enough of ‘em to torpedo the appointment.

He won’t make that pledge

You don’t know how to count votes. Mitch does

I just sent a message to Sasse asking him to vote for Kavanaugh in committee and the floor vote. Since I live in Nebraska and I voted for him (which I mentioned in the message) I hope that helps just a little bit.

Godspeed Judge. We are the same age and I like beer too. I am guessing this is the first hearing of a Senatorial committee in the history of the republic to talk about quarters and farts which makes you a guy I really want to hang out with and maybe my new hero. You are going to make a great Justice. Sorry for what the left has done to you and your family. We’ve got your back, buddy. This bulls**t will not be forgotten.

Yeah, the whole show was for the moderates.
The circus was for emotional manipolation. Not a bit of reason involved.

Interesting tweet. This means her role wasn’t for us but it is to lobby senators on the fence using her reputation. She can assure them that there is nothing there as far as future charges.

Maryland has no statue of limitations on sexual assault. Sooo, theoretically speaking, some Maryland prosecutor, might get an idea to file charges against Kavanaugh in the future. Ford is not a credible accuser ... she was a flop. Republicans went to the heart of the matter by having a 'real' sex crimes prosecutor ask the questions.

But didn’t you hear Dr. Ford?

Her friend is sick with some mystery illness so her statement is false.

That’s some compelling testimony right there!

Sure threw her friend under the bus. Again, confirms my view that Dr. Ford is a sociopath.

Yes her questioning was banal and inane, but that is what she was brought in for. If our side had been too tough it would have polled bad, and wouldn’t have helped. That banal questioning proved her to be a liar and it was gentle. It was a win

It’s a tough one? Only if you are an idiot I guess. My first thoughts exactly. . . .What happened to her "eye witnesses"?

“So we might not have the votes? Is that what I’m reading into it?”

don’t worry: all the Pubs are gonna vote for Kavanaugh, and maybe even a few Dems ... this is just fake news BS ... this is exactly the same pissing and moaning that occurred at FR about Gorsuch ... oh nose, Mr. Bill ... Collins ... Flake ... Murkowski ... all total bullshit then and all total bullshit now ... all 51 Pubs will vote for K ...

It sounds like those on the fence may be asking themselves, “Do I have a human soul, or do I not have a human soul”?

What happened to the guy Garrett(?) who said HE was the one who had the encounter? Did he testify yesterday?
