Gee, and I got slimed by quite a few so-called Freepers here just yesterday for saying Mitch will find an excuse to blow it for Trump. I’m sure they’ll all be apologizing to me in short order, right?

A bigger issue is that Mitch is compromised and has too much CCP money invested in him. He answers to Xi, not to US.

Some people see the worst in every situation.

Examine his words: “When the nomination comes out of committee, then I’ll decide when and how to proceed,’ he said.”

He is saying this so he doesn’t tip his hand on the GOP strategy, and so the Dims don’t have extra time to thwart that strategy. Mitch already knows how he wants to proceed if everything falls in line.

Just relax and stop buying trouble.

This is fake news. McConnell stated already he’s going to hold the vote ASAP, and he’s rounding up the votes, so this is UK Daily Mail fake news.

I wouldn’t worry too much about this article. McConnell never says “I cannot promise a vote before the election.” All he said was “When the nomination comes out of committee, then I’ll decide when and how to proceed.” The article then says “He would not address if that vote would be before or after November 3.” Then all conjecture and speculation by the author.

He just doesn’t want to reveal his cards

"GOPee clearly has a death wish"

Because he doesn't know if it will be ready for a vote by a given date? That's silly.

And Turtle was doing so well until just now. Wonder who paid him off?

If Mitch delays this to after election with the time he does have, its AB intentional screwing of Trump and the R base. But, I’m not sure the R Senate would rather be in the minority forever. Leading is hard, so, let’s screw Trump and live off the crumbs the Dems will give us.

The media is trolling you with this article.

The article says he was “walking back” and “refused to give a date” but there is no corresponding quote from him that indicates that at all.

It’s a fraudulent article

Nothing in the article changes what he has said. Don’t pat yourself on the back just yet :-)

And if you are looking for apologies you are definitely on the wrong website :-)

He’s an untrustworthy, ugly prick (ad-hominem attack), married to China.

No one in government, except maybe President Donnie, can be trusted, and the only reason Donnie can be trusted is that he’s not really part of government.

He’s an outsider, and that’s why they’re all terrified of him. He wants to do things the way they should be done, not the way government actually does them.

As several have said above, including myself, this is fake news.

Dems already made the promise to end us once they get power again. Crumbs would be the best we could hope for.

You think I don't know that? I've been here since the beginning you know? I've also been here long enough to know Mitch is a POS. As Lindsey would say... Just "stay tuned" you'll see.

I’m not buying this. It was reported today that The Turtle, Little Linda, and President Trump agreed to limit the Senate questioning of the Nominee to three days.
Even if they allow two weeks to meet with the nominee the vote is one day. President Trump nominates whoever, she meets with the Senators for two weeks, three days of Senate Circus and then a vote.

Well, in all fairness, she may not be the speaker come
January 20th. I fervently hope folks have learned
enough over the last four years, to realize they must
return Congress to Republican control.

Is it possible? It may be. I’m not well versed in the
exact Constitutional provisions for such an occurrence.

Judges should do everything in their power to avoid
this type of situation. It really would be a
Constitutional crisis in my opinion.

That woman in charge for even a day would give our
enemies an open window I don’t want left open.
