So how come The President is the only office that would be in dispute since House and Senate members are also on the ballot
which will be counted at the same time as the president? Seems to me Nancy may be out as house speaker too if the election isn’t settled in a timely matter we can not just assume she wins automatically can we?

Let’s hope he clarifies this, to our liking.

I posted Joe Manchin only because of his statement about wanting RINOs to cave because this is dividing the country. It’s time for conservatives to note that leftists are dividing the country and that if they want to go that way then divided we are.

McConnell is trying to lower the temperature for his senators due to their homes being attacked ect. I believe McConnell will have the vote with NO HEARINGS and he is being very quiet about it!!

Could well be, but sometimes it would be helpful if these Senators would worry a bit about the morale of the electorate and worry a bit less about the welfare of their donors. It's how they ended up with a minority in the house.

At best that is speculation, too. It's based on a "Senate aide" comments. From that link:

"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has not made any scheduling announcements since saying last week that he would work to confirm a potential pick from the White House, but a Senate aide told The Associated Press that confirmation hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee could begin on Oct. 12, followed by a possible floor vote on Oct. 29.

A spokesperson for McConnell declined to comment on a possible Oct. 29 vote and instead pointed to remarks the GOP leader made earlier Tuesday that plans for a hearing are still being crafted."

I’m no fan of McConnell but this writer is nasty propagandist who is putting Democrat spin on what McConnell said. I wouldn’t worry about what he said. It makes sense for McConnell to not tip his hand on tactics.

said, " 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."

Thank you

The author, Emily Goodin, is a foaming at the mouth Democrat propagandist. I would take whatever she writes with a huge grain of salt.

I wouldn’t worry too much about this article.


Agree. You just have to chuckle at the negative spin the Democrat propagandists at the Daily Mail put on anything a GOPer says.

From the article in your twitter feed: "but a Senate aide told The Associated Press that confirmation hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee could begin on Oct. 12."

If announced on Saturday, the hearings should start ASAP. Starting on October 5 would give everyone a week. That's way more than enough for the democrats to generate their talking points, find male prostitutes and fake abortionist doctors who will perjure themselves making up shit against whichever female is nominated to convince us that the Democrats are still over the top unprincipled LIARS.

Don’t believe all you read in the UK Daily Mail. This is the same “newspaper” that Melania Trump successfully sued for libeling her as having worked as an escort.

I alway worry about what RINOs say because you turn your back on him and he will think he can betray you. The voters are not who the RINOs are there to represent.

“He screws us.....I’ll be one of those on his doorstep! &5%#^$###^”

Why wait until he screws us? We should be at his doorstep now making sure he doesn’t.
