A. I don’t trust Romney, either.

B. Question... if it looks like the Republicans have the votes, do any of you think it’s possible there are a handful of RATS who will break ranks and vote for ACB (or whoever it is)?

But what they must understand, is that if Trump goes down, he’s taking all of them with him. The GOP is finished.

I don’t believe that scumbag until I see him vote YEA. Just because he VOTES doesn’t mean he’ll vote to confirm. F him....

I don’t trust him as far as I can spit.

...Dem voters who are already morose with their lackluster demented low energy candidate. The economy is rebounding, Covid fading, and the Biden riots have made Law and Order a huge suburban winning issue for Trump.

I can't understand how anyone could vote for a man so obviously decrepit, even if that were the only reason.

That he won't commit to any policy, or answer any signficant question, or even make daily campaign appearances, is startling and without precedent in the modern era.

In the immediate minutes and hours after Trump took the lead on November 8, 2016, the pundits on all the networks admitted that Clinton hadn't generated much enthusiasm among voters. Clinton in 2016 was a rock star compared to Biden in 2020.

Lmao, “binders full of women.” Compare Romney’s namby pamby response to the “war on women” drivel to Trump’s “Only Rosie O’Donnell” remark. You don’t beat the left by appeasing them.

Collins is toast in Maine. She has proven thru the years just how dumb she is. But this is her tight election she has sabataged.
Trumps coattails will be massive.

Agreed. He's announced he'll support a vote but when the time comes for that vote he'll pull the "vote my conscience" card out of his a$$ and go down as a nay.

Unless, as some have pointed out, he is mindful of his Mormon base and doesn't want to lose any of that.

If he votes no, then Pence breaks the tie assuming the other two pubs vote no.

If any of the 3 abstain, then 50 will carry it without Pence.

If he votes yes on procedural grounds and no on the nominee, and the other two clowns vote no on procedural grounds and yes on the nominee then this thing won’t even be close.

Everybody who insists on having principles distinct from the party line can have a ribbon.

I think it’s closer to 3:46.

Great scene. Great movie. Great person.

Not there greatest actor—but plenty good playing himself in all sorts of situations, and he chose to play himself in many very good movies.

Everyone knows the Trump train ain’t stopping, even for mailed-in ballots, so they don’t want to be hit by the Train during the next 4 yrs...get on or get hit by the cow catcher.

True, Romney hates Trump.

But I doubt he has anything against Amy Coney Barret, or whomever the President nominates.

Most likely, Romney sees this as a chance to prove he’s a good Republican - a ‘severe‘ conservative, in fact!

He’ll vote to confirm - unless Trump nominates his sister - then the Trump hate would kick in for sure, and he’d have to vote nay. :-)

“Never would have happened without DJT.”

indeed ... and it’s the powerful love that we supporters have for DJT that gives him his power and we love him because HE powerfully supports US! ... the rest of the spineless GOP has now figured out that it’s total suicide to go against DJT because they’re going against us when they go against DJT ...

this is the exact situation that we conservatives have been praying for for decades as we suffered through uniparty “lesser-evil” RINO globalist liars and traitors like the Bushs, McCain and Romney and the multitude of lesser (but similar) lights in the Senate and the House ...

many here argued for a 3rd party but i always promoted the idea of someone somehow hijacking the apparatus of the GOP without knowing who or how that could happen ... now we know ...

How does Murkowski survive being such a RINO?

She wins on her dad's name with a large number of democrat votes. She was beaten in the R primary in 2010, only to win the general as a write-in with only 39%, largely dem votes.

"Just watched Romney's presser on Fox Business and it is the first time ever I have actually been at all impressed with him. There was no "wiggle room" in his support of the President putting forward a nomination for consideration by the Senate."

This is one time Democrat agitprop worked in our favor.

Romney believes the loaded polls. He did during his own run, he thought he was behind the whole way (he actually led after the GOP Convention -- remember Eastwood? That actually helped him ) and after the 1st Debate (Romney led in Ohio for a week).

So Bishop Dullard thinks Trump is on his way out, and also that he, Mittens, is about to become a junior Senator in a minority Senate caucus. Neither of which are true but hey, a winning ticket on the floor is worth as much as a winning ticket in your hand.

Truth is stranger than Mittens.

Do not trust Romney. He is a total snake.

There are two huge prayer events going on in DC this weekend, and people all over the country have been praying and planning for months in advance of these. They were to be just in general for revival and for our elections but now we see so much more the timing!
God knew the number of days in RBGs life but the organizers ( Franklin Graham and others) couldn’t have known. It is amazing to me to see how this is been orchestrated by God. Praising God for his mercy now, this may save our country from a Marxist takeover in these elections and maybe turn the tide of evil. We must keep praying for widespread repentance , true repentance and revival! To God be the glory! Depending on Him to help us!
