Whaddya call a representative republic when the representatives don’t implement the will of the people?
Telling you folks. Mitch has 3-5 Dems in his pocket. This Ford thing is totally backfiring on the Left.
Think about it. Women - they don’t exist by themselves. They have sons, brothers, Dads, husbands. You think they’re gonna put feminists ahead of their family or loved ones who are male?
If the 17th Amendment were repealed, this wouldn’t even be an issue.
Joe is caught between a rock and a hard place, with his nuts and career inbetween.
If he votes against Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, he’s out of the Senate.
If he votes for Kavanaugh AFTER DICKING AROUND AND NOT TAKING A FIRM STANCE FOR HIM, he’s out of the Senate.
His only other option would be to vote against Kavanaugh and hope that the Dems take the Senate. Otherwise he is toast, without butter.
If he was smart, years ago he would have left the Dem Party and become an Independent like Jeffords, Sanders, etc. so that he could play one party against the other.
Singing “It’s Too Late Baby” (Carole King).
The house will be worse, ---bet on it---at which time we can get a even stronger conservative to join or replace Kavanaugh
Manchin will vote Yes even if Flake flakes again.
Manchin is a gun grabber. I hope he loses.
On March 26, the New York Times Magazine described Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) as “the Senate Democrat who… seems closest to [President] Trump” and who believes he may actually secure gun control under the Trump administration.
.....he told NYT Mag reporter Robert Draper that he believes he has “a complete opportunity” to secure gun control under Trump.
Manchin wants universal background checks - the first step to confiscation.
Machin will vote to confirm. UNLESS his vote would be the one to make it 50.. then he MAY take the big bribe from the left and end his career and vote NO. But as long as it’s clear Kavanaugh will be confirmed no doubt he will vote to confirm. He know a vote NO ends his political career.
Of the red state democrats he’s the most likely to survive, but a no vote on Kavanaugh and he knows he’s done.
Kavanaugh will be confirmed with 52-55 votes
