And Murkowski voted “Present” so Daines did not have to be there to cancel her “no” vote with his “yes”.
As much as it pains me to say it, that was a classy move by the old broad.
...it might have been Palin’s tweet.
Yeah, well I wouldn’t make too much of it. If they didn’t make that deal they would have found another way. With Daines they had 51 votes, and maybe 52 I don’t know what happened to Rubio. Saw him on TV a few days ago he said he was supporting BK but he didn’t cast a vote.
You think she would've have done it if there weren't in her best interest?
Two Republicans voted "NO" in the Clarence Thomas confirmation vote in 1991. That was the last time a Republican Senator every cast a "NO" vote in a confirmation vote for a Supreme Court justice nominated by a Republican president.
I think that streak is still alive if Murkowski voted "Present" today.
“Murkowski voted “Present” so Daines did not have to be there to cancel her “no” vote with his “yes”.
You are not by yourself. Class acts by President Trump and the two senators.
I think once the Daines wedding came up I think McConnell and Murkowski came up with this plan, to give Murkowski cover. I think had the wedding not come up, Murkowski probably would have been ‘aye’.
I didn’t get the math on that yesterday, but now I do. Agreed.

It would have been classier and smarter if she simply Voted Yes. She bought into the Lies and the Slander of fine Man.
She can rot in Hell for all I care.
