And if we lose you spend the next tree weeks beating the drum for GOP voters that unless they want to be screwed out of their Justice pick they better get to the polls in Nov and send some better GOP senators to DC

Justices are one of THE number one issues for Christian Evangelicals who see their value repeated raped by out of control Judges.

You want to wake up the voters who overwhelmingly handed the Congress to the GOP in 2010 and 2014 Dems? Block Judge K and reap the whirlwind.

Judge K is a stand issue Bush League Republican. If you block him and the GOP gains in the Senate. Trump can make the next one a MUCH stronger pick for Conservatives.

There is no “win” here for the Dems. The next SC Justice is going to be picked by Trump no matter what they do to Judge K.

Flake things he is going to be the great GOP-E anti Trump candidate in 2020. He all ready has been visiting NH laying his Presidential bid ground work.

The leverage the GOP-E has with Flake is “You block Judge K who even rabid Anti-Trumpers want on the Court, and you will not even be able to get elected dog catcher in your home town”

I think you’re right. Trump has outed these people like no other Republican. It’s usually the democrats who get under our skin.

Look tonight, Trump will be brutal on them again. It will force them to come out of the woodwork and defend themselves or cowar.

John Chafee (RI), Bob Packwood (OR), Arlen Specter (PA), Robert Stafford (VT), John Warner (VA) and Lowell P. Weicker, Jr. (CT) all committing the act on the Republican side. Naturally all Republicans. All names that will on in infamy.


And I believe the last time (except PA) that a Republican was a Senator from those states.

I think K loses, 52-48 or 51-49 with slimy Manchin voting yes, knowing it won’t count.

BTW, if he is not confirmed, Judge K can be renominated immediately after the election (assuming we gain 4-5 more seats) and WILL be confirmed.

It makes sense that Dem senators in Trump country run a big risk voting against K. But if the senate votes against K, or Trump withdraws support for K, that could give energy to the OFA characters just one month before the election.

By this week I am guessing he means Friday? Don’t go wobbly with Collins or Flake. Flake is a no, and I dare Collins to vote no. Do or die Friday please.

I know. I am sick of them and Flake getting so much attention and compromise from others. Time for Mitch to actually lead, and tell them to shape up.

Better then to have the vote ahead of the election. Flake was always going to vote No, same with Manchin. Holding the vote ahead of November clicks the beads a bit differently, surely.

I was STRONGLY leaning that way until this afternoon. Then I got a note from a person I trust.

Apparently Yertle had a little meeting with Flakey, Collins, & MurCowSki and went medieval on them. He told them flat out they would be finished if they voted no, telling Collins he would make sure she was never governor of ME; telling MurCowSki he would work against her reelection & primary her; and telling Flakey he couldn’t even get a job as a lobbyist, that Yertle would see to it.

Apparently it worked, as this after noon Corkscrewed said they had the votes.

I like your analysis and hope you are right on upside but the downside is we can’t let them win this if we care about the truth and cuz this playbook will be refined even more, not just guilty until proven innocent but just guilty cuz we say so-we are practically there now. Trump pulled election win off but the big challenge is winning elections , e.g. downside: the dems win the house and pick up senate seats, I think we will hold the senate not sure on the house cuz the dems have huge blocks; voters that mindlessly vote the dem tix. Its all about feelings and not logic. Ethnic groups e.g African American women vote 98% dem, other single left leaning women leaves us in many states challenged. e.g Maine, Collins is in a state that only has 36% Republicans. that why she votes the way she does, Think about it, with African Americans making up 13% of the population and voting 90% + for dems it is like starting a race down 10 points etc. Trump showed it can be done but Leftists are well funded and have the culture, colleges, main stream media, and are well funded. (Soros) with Ethnic groups, single left leaning women leave little in many states, etc. so lets win this one while we still can. and yes I hope u are right but work hard and vote!

True - if what the dems want to do to Kavanaugh is any sign, then they are real hypocrites with their backing letting actual hardened criminals out of jail (many of them rapists and murderers who “don’t deserve such treatement”)...ironic....

“went medieval on them”
Ha! Just saw this and loved it.

Murk won before against the R establishment. Maybe she could again, maybe not.

This is all-in for the Rs. A loss would be awful for the Party.

I’m no expert on Alaska, but as I understand it, Joe Miller was hardly the “establishment.” He was a Tea Party victor, and the “establishment” in Alaska likely sided with the Hag.
