That’s a rather interesting comment, because there were reports out that we had the votes.
Then a few more games were played, and all of a sudden our guys were gotten to. Flake is a great example.
He was for us, and then that elevator incident convinced him to say he wouldn’t vote for Cavanaugh.
There was no real defense of Kavanaugh. The witness had her say after weeks of delay. How do you counter that?
Flake still isn’t on board.
At this point, sure you have to have the FBI investigation.
The FBI should have been running down this broad’s history a month ago. But then that would take some family jewels on our side, and I haven’t seen any in the U. S. Senate on our side in so long, I’m not sure there are any.
Neither Murkowski or Collins said that they were going to vote for Kavanaugh. Neither McConnell or Graham claimed that they had their votes. Graham admitted on Friday morning that they didn’t have the votes. We’ll never know, but I think that if we hadn’t agreed to a so called FBI Investigation, Murkowski and Collins would have voted no on the floor. As for Flake, who knows.
Of course, what the Democrats really wanted was an open ended FBI criminal investigation, but they didn’t get that, they only got a supplemental background investigation, a clean up on Aisle three. But, they are pretending that they got what they wanted, because they need to convince their constituents that they forced the Republicans to cave. Probably about the best outcome that we could manage given the wobbly Senators on our side.
