Kavanaugh Confirmation

[txbo]

If Murkowski and Collins vote no watch both change parties after the mid-terms especially if its a 51-49 divide.

That wouldn't surprise me but I don't think it will matter. If this does not pass, look for a red wave in November.

I'm just tired of the holier than thou double standard

Sounds like an admission on your part.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

She’s a coward. Might as well stick a D next to her name. Pathetic

For shame markowski.

 

[volinbham]

Flake is a YES

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Flake is a Yes to Confirm.

She's changing parties. Or will pull a Lieberman. Either way she's done in the Republican party.

Flake: I’ll Vote to Confirm Kavanaugh

 

[hog88]

He wants to be reelected. Don't think for one moment he won't tell ole Chucky to stick his opinion where the sun doesn't shine.

No, not a chance.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Normally I'd agree but there is nothing normal about this confirmation. I've said since the beginning that Collins is the key. If we lose her, we will lose Manchin.

I think they would have waited until Monday. No reason to rush it if you don't have the votes.

*Unless something changes

Im curious if "unless something changes" were his comments or that was added in to the idea since he has "flaked" recently.

In translation "unless I get a better offer, I'm voting yes".

Who could run against her and win? I don't know Alaskan politicians well..

 

[Grand Vol]

No, not a chance.

Manchin is a curious cat. He doesn't toe the party line.

Remember, he's the one that crossed party lines to vote for Gorsuch.

I don't know but I can't see her getting any help from the party for re-election.

Maybe you're right, I'll believe it when I see it.

He'll be a yes if he's 51 - he'll be a no if he had to be 50.

He wasn't the deciding vote on Gorsuch. With Murkowski out, a yes from Manchin would literally decide the issue.

Manchin is in a precarious position. WV have historically voted for Democrats but the climate has is changing. Many Democrats are not happy with what Obama did to the coal industry.

I don't know but I can't see her getting any help from the party for re-election.

Palin is the only other one I know....

His constituents helped put Trump in office and are benefitting greatly from his policies. He's be crazy not to vote "Yes."

 

[Grand Vol]

No, and he wasn't the only Dem to cross the lines.

Regardless, he wants to be reelected.

 

[roosterjbh]

I believe Manchin will be a yes if Collins is. I don’t see him breaking to be the deciding vote.

Locally here in Florida the confirmation crazy has jumped the shark:
Deputies: Man said he's 'ready to kill' if Kavanaugh not confirmed to Supreme Court

What other state could that possibly be from?
