‘Given the proximity of the Presidential election, however, I don’t believe the senate should vote on the nominee priority the election in fairness to the American people

[CincyRichieRich]

Noted; not needed; who cares...bye bye.

[dila813]

yes, but we should require the vote to go forward regardless, bottom line, they were elected to do their job and its time to go to work

[laweeks]

Collins and Murkowski. Wow, big surprise.

And where's the traitor Milquetoast Romney? Now where does that leave us?

[JonPreston]

I am troubled and concerned.

[bert]

Collins is chicken shit

Everybody knows it but she really has no balls

[kickstart]

Demonrats stand lockstep in place together to go over a progressive cliff. Republicans fight amongst themselves and cannot support President Trump for a basic court appointment.
Aaarrrrggggghhh!

What is Romney's nominal position on abortion? If he is nominally pro-choice, or at least is willing to recognize that Roe vs. Wade was wrongly decided and that the matter should be returned to state control, he just might stand firm. It is rare that such an historic test occurs in such an unambiguously naked form. I trust that people Romney knows and respects are telling him that there are times when even politicians have to man up and do the right thing, and let the chips fall where they may.

This is not a time for Trump to run to his magic twitter machine and play dog at the fire hydrant with Romney or anyone else. Memo to POTUS: do not publicly insult the guy you absolutely have to have to win. Maybe Mike Pence should hold onto Trump's phone for the next couple of weeks.

I figured that was coming.

“Notice she said prior to the election. That doesn’t mean she won’t vote in the lame duck session.”

Yes and I’m guessing most here never saw that.

Many of the most vicious Trump Haters are Mormons.

He voted to impeach Trump on nothing.

The first person to compare Trump to Hitler and his supporters to Nazis - was Glenn Beck. It has stuck.

Overwhelmingly, Mormons want any and all Immigration.

How old is this witch?

She gets uglier every day. That’s a sign she has gone full America hater.
Feinstein will see that she goes left.

[circlecity]

I saw this coming and argued with another freeper about it on another thread. Collins is from a liberal state and is down by 5, the worst position she’s ever been at this point in a campaign. She almost certainly blaming this on her vote for Kavenaugh because that’s what she’s been getting hammered with during the campaign. She’s got to see this as a last second chance to redeem herself.

[TribalPrincess2U]

But it was okay for 0bama to request it.

[McGavin999]

Those republicans need to go have a talk with her. The lumbermen, the lobstermen, the fishermen, the people who are working in the new businesses Trump brought into Maine.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Mitt is already back peddling through his aides about refusing to vote for a Trump nominee. I expect Mitch to kick him into gear. I expect only two GOP defections.

[AnthonySoprano]

People thinking she meant anything other than NO, are in Denial.

Simple.

[abbastanza]

The first coward has spoken.

[JoSixChip]

Maybe Mike Pence should hold onto Trump's phone for the next couple of weeks.

Trump got to where he is at without any help from you. Stand back, and remember the fainting couch is in the ladies room.

[circlecity]

Collins has made a career of bucking the party. She’s from a liberal state. She’s lost as is Murkowski. But Romney can be bought. It’ will cost but he’s for sale. We’ve learned Mitt has no principles, he will always do what profits Mitt the most. Mitch will pay his price too. This thing is very doable.

[ealgeone]

she’s trying to split the middle.
