Look, I think we should confirm the nominee, but it needs to be done carefully.
Rushing through this will energize the Dems right before the election.
Trump should announce his nominee soon to energize the GOP.
But, hold off until voting until after the election. We have to try to do what we can to save Collins even though she isn’t ideal. We need her seat. She has many gunning for her for voting for Kavanaugh.
If Collins loses, it’s likely the Senate is lost. While many will vote against her already, if she is not forced to vote for a nominee before the election, it would help her.
It could be that if she is allowed to be a token no vote, that could help somewhat, but not as much as if we just wait probably. If we don’t wait, it will energize the left more than the right. If we wait, the right will be energized more.
BS. Don't let these squishes think that is remotely acceptable!
“Rushing through this will energize the Dems right before the election.”
I don’t think they could be any more energized than they are now.
Cash out your chips.
She's gone.
