He better call Flake, Collins and Murkowski into his office.
Yertle is gonna say to Flakey, Tom Collins, and MurCowSki, put up or shut up.
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.
GO TURTLE!! THIS IS WAR!!!! YOU PUBBIES BETTER FIGHT FOR KAVANAUGH AND US!! AND TRUMP!! OR YOU ARE TOAST!
I feel good every time Sen McConnell speaks lately. When he says it, you know it will stick. He may not care a lick about Trump, but he will not let his legacy go down in flames. I don’t know if the majority party ever lost a vote for SCOTUS, but he sure doesn’t want to be the first. And he won’t hold a vote if he doesn’t have the votes. I get the feeling we’ll all be feeling good this weekend...
Let imagine they block this until after the election.
The Dems had a chance because GOP voters were fat, dumb and happy while Dem voters were pissed off and energized. However even fevered never Trumpers want Judge K confirmed.
So you want to piss off an put GOP voters in hyper drive for election day Dems, just delay Judge K some more.
There is no WIN here for the Dems. Either Judge K is confirmed, or they get their clocks cleaned in the Senate races in IN, TN FL, West VA, MO, ND and Montana. At which point either Trump re-nomiates Judge K or he sends an even stronger pick to a new GOP dominated Senate in Jan 2019
Remember Corker and Flake, the 2 reliable GOP weak link Democrat stooges are GONE in Jan 2019. The only reason they ahve any power is the vote in the Senate is so evenly divided now.
So pissed at how things are going? Vote for every R candidate out there to send the Dems the message this gutter scum poltical tacit they have tried out since 2016 will be punished by Voters every time they try them
The senate hearings should be a lesson to all Americans. This is why we want a Supreme Court Judge that honors The Constitution in his or her rulings. To prevent monsters like the dems during the hearings who use the rule of law when it suits them, and then discard it when it suits them. Verily I say, they are the stuff that future Stalins and Maos are made of!
Call in your support!!!
(202) 224-2541
He should just say that Kavanaugh has “evolved” since then, that’s what the RATS do when old sh*t gets dug up for political reasons... /s
Go, Cocaine Mitch!
Will Dr. Ford be investigated by the FBI EVER? If not...Why not? Does anyone have an answer....Christine should be investigated NOW.
This will be a signal to the dems to activate bimbo #4 (or is it 5?)
I wish the entire dem party a swift end to their suffering here on Earth, and an instantaneous entry into eternal hell fire.
Ask me what I think.
Will Democrats deny a quorum?
Dems expected the trashing of Judge Kavanaugh to energize their own base.
And they expected as the intensity of the attack increased Judge Kavanaugh would withdraw.
But Kavanaugh proved to be of tougher stuff and they failed to force him to withdraw.
When that happened they doubled down, went Full Retard and ramped up to a Scorched Earth attack.
But I think that by going Full Retard they succeeded in energizing Kavanaugh supporters as much or perhaps even more.
Now I believe they have trashed themselves into a corner and awakened republicans and conservatives.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a Senate failure to approve the nomination brought out just as many, or more, anti-democrat voters as a vote to approve.
Why do I get the feeling that maybe The Turtle doesn’t really care how the vote turns out, he’s just giving himself cover.
Hope I’m wrong, but I’ve become a bit jaded.
He probably doesn’t have the votes but at least he’s showing some grit!! I truly despise Collins and that other witch!! Always holding their base hostage!! Why the HELL DOESNT she just say she is a rat and get it over with?!!! Gutless *itch!
Any Republican that does not vote yes will have the political career ended.
Period.
Flake may not care. But Murcowski and Collins do.
McConnell may take the vote to the floor this week, but he’s not going to have the votes to get Judge Kavanaugh confirmed.
Flake is not going to be voting for him, and he’ll have other RINOs like Murkowski and Collins joining him to oppose Kavanaugh.
I hate saying this, but apart from a miracle, this is what’s going to play out.
I just listened to Jay Sekulow’s radio program and they were saying that if Judge Kavanaugh isn’t confirmed by the end of the week, Monday at the latest, it’s all but certain he won’t be.
I don’t know why McConnell get so much hate. Sure he is the very definition of a swamp creature, but he has run the Senate with an iron fist, which is MUCH harder than running the House given the power individual Senators have to obstruct, delay, and obfuscate. His use of Harry Reied’s ill advised nuclear option to fill judicial nominations alone elevates him to what may end up being the most influential Republicans of the 21st century. Maybe I will add a turtle to my garden.
