[Twitter Phil Mattingly CNN] McConnell Files for Cloture NOW, Cloture Vote Friday

[plain talk]

I don’t think any of this necessarily means he has the votes or not. He may. However McConnell thus far has not been that interested in pushing Trump’s agenda. I don’t think McConnell particularly cares either way with the following caveat — I do think the dems overreach was so ridiculous that even the Turtle was getting a bit pissed off. In his mind he is just performing his bureaucratic role but he sure as heck doesn’t like it when people game the system.

Good news even with your correction.

I certainly hope ACORN doesn’t get enough fraudulent votes and the 3+ million illegal aliens votes that almost got Hillary elected are stopped from voting.

I had to find my registration card and I did so I am ready.

He would file for cloture even if he didn’t have the votes in order to put an end to it and get people on record prior to the election.

however we still have to worry about AZ. NV. !!!!!

Heller from NV is a yes. He stated it outright today.

Thanks for the find!

Ping to DNC lawyers met with F-I on dossier before surveillance warrant:

McConnell has been excellent.

[goldstategop]

As the Majority Leader, he doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy to take up the chin.

He knows his caucus. Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed.

I’m concerned about NV staying in our hands in the midterms!!!!

[Persevero]

I predict Amy Whatever will be the nominee to replace rbg or whoever is next, this taking the “sexual aggressor” arrow out of their quiver.

Flake will vote no. He is gone, and he wants to hang out with liberals the rest of his life. Everyone else will play ball.

[BeauBo]

First, Lindsey Graham did his Grinch impression, where his testicles suddenly grew three times too large.

Now Mitch McConnell shows us a whole new side of his turtle impression:

Maybe the new theme song for Republican Senators will be...

       "I Am A Man" - Muddy Waters - (youtube music video link)

…(except, of course, for the Fakes, the Flakes, and the Old Fruitcakes).

[trebb]

Let’s pray and keep our fingers crossed - maybe he knows he can use the FBI report as a cudgel - the way dems had hoped to....

[2harddrive]

Kavanaugh CLEARED!!

[CAluvdubya]

I’m concerned about NV staying in our hands in the midterms!!!!

Sorry but NV isn't in our hands now. Las Vegas turned this state blue in the last election. Our current Gov. isn't much of a Republican but, hopefully Laxalt will win and he's a much stronger Republican. More like his grandfather who was with Reagan.

We'd like to see NV go Red but a lot of Californians have moved here and they're not as conservative as our family.

[keats5]

Everybody who prays, pray now and pray often.
Don’t just say you’ll pray. Pray!

[romanesq]

Is there some kind of prize here for being most wrong? Guess we'll have to choose between President Trump being correct on confirmation or you. Tough call. 🤡

[EQAndyBuzz]

“No. Flake and the sisters are NOs. Mitch just wants to get it over and get everyone on the record.”

Flake is a no. Pence will be the deciding vote. Then the media could use that to pound Trump on. Something about how a bi-partisan vote denied Kavanaugh the seat until Pence stepped in and cast the deciding vote for Kavanaugh.

Funny, but I see that as a big Trump win if it goes down that way.

[bert]

Yep

your analysis is correct except the payoff details might be somewhat different

Part of the deal might be that Manchin will find it in his best interest to flip parties
