Just the fact that he initially came out against Kavanaugh was enough for Hoosiers who were on the fence about Donnelly to finally be convinced to vote against him in Nov. He’s toast.
I think the timing of Donnelly’s first announcement is interesting. Note that the senators who have publicly stated their voting position so far are either conservative or liberal. The moderates have not done so yet. Typically in the past, Donnelly will state that he is undecided until the morning (or hours) of a vote. I think that Donnelly thought the committee vote would be a clean vote and that it would go to the senate floor immediately. That’s why he publicly made his announcement yesterday. Now, Donnelly has to wait as much as a week and then be faced with a 7th FBI clearance report. ‘Moderate’ Joe is going to be iced for a week as people in Indiana will see what a lefty hack he is. I think this latest ‘flip-flop’ is exactly the result of his poor timing. And the people of Indiana will NOT BUY IT. Why? Because I am one of them.
