GOP nervous ahead of Kavanaugh vote: “We don’t have 50 right now
Axios ^ | 10/5/18 | Jonathan Swan

Posted on 10/05/2018 4:08:11 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

...A senior source involved in the process told me fairly late last night:

"We’re going into this vote and we don’t have 50 right now." "There’s been a lot of work that was done today, by members wading through this material. I don’t want to put my thumb on..."

I believe it. And if Collins and whoever (forget Flake) don’t vote YES and Republican’s are the majority in the senate after midterms? They need to punish the HELL out of her...pull her off of committees. Cut whatever pork is going to her district.

These losers.

So pissed.

Turtle/Gamera wouldn’t have scheduled the vote if he didn’t have enough.

Give him an up or down vote.
If the GOP votes no,
let them reap the whirlwind
that will follow.

Wading through material my a$$.

These criminals do not look at the material on Judge K, they just vote to take away our rights and impose their socialist agenda

what else could they do? Postpone it forever?

I don’t trust these liberals in Republican clothing. They’re the left... period.

I believe it’s a headfake to throw some cover on the RATS voting Yes.

I doubt Mitch would schedule the vote if he wasn’t pretty sure about the numbers. That said, if they vote him down, Trump should re-nominate, and let that be the issue in November.

Hold the vote, it’s not going to get any better. If he doesn’t get voted in, then President Trump promises to re-nominate him in the next Congress. The red state Dems go down in flames and we have a larger majority in the Senate to vote on him. One without spineless Jeffy Flake. Hell, Jeffy will probably be out there in the protest line against Kavanaugh talking about how conservative he (Jeffy) is and how it would be the conservative thing to do to vote against Kavanaugh....

how dumb to not get out and vote if the GOP doesn’t have the votes due to three left wingers posing and Republicans.

What needs to happen is MORE Trumpian senators voting in to avoid such tactics when RBG finally “retires”

I’ve never doubted that flake will go ‘no’. This is his way of getting back at Trump, and it includes all the drama he has orchestrated to appear as being thoughtful of the process. He wants his McCain thumb down moment.

As far as the Baldwin sisters, I honestly have no clue what they’re up to.

Oh boy. lol

You can’t believe that. DEMS are NEVER going to vote for Kavanaugh. Even though those in very safe blue districts with any kind of decency should vote yes, they won’t.

Agree with those who say that McConnell would not schedule the vote if he didn’t have 50
