If we don’t have the votes, Let the demonrats delay, delay, delay. Make an effort to confirm. Bash the democrats every day for 5 weeks about how they seek to destroy this decent man and his family. We pick up 2 or 3 senate seats and bingo we confirm this wonderful man and Judge!
The votes will either be there after Thursday if no additional scandalous information is uncovered, at which time, all manner of complaining from the Democrats will commence - including (a) never agreed to one week, (b) it was Trump’s decision to shorten the investigation, (c) how could there be a fair review of facts with the FBI in tatters over Trump’s constant haranguing, and (d) regardless whether the FBI found anything, it doesn’t mean it didn’t occur (ala Dan Rather reserves memo).
After a-d is accomplished, Collins and Murkowski will succumb to the pressures of Feinstein and her deep state connections that promise to ruin their lives forever.
In the words of Sonny Corleone “if I only had a war-time consigliore”.
