Moderate republicans spinning around like weather vanes.

They SO want to help the democrats but want to appear reasonable at the same time.

But that is an impossible task.

Is this thing going to blow up in the Democrats faces? Is this unraveling?

In the Corker and Flake will vote “yes” to confirm and so will Collins and Murkowski.

This is backfiring on the Rats and will not end well for them.

Tell him not to do it. It’s a trap.

She will not accept and on the day they meet on of the D’s will announce she’s decided to speak - but it will take a week or so for her to get there. Then crying, R’s are bullies, etc, etc, etc,

This is all a planed delaying tactic.

Just hammer the gavel and move on NOW.

Call her in. Get her seated.

Then everyone walk out.

Translation: “President Trump just ordered FISA documents released unredacted. We have bigger problems than blocking Kavanaugh.”

This is just total bullsh*t. So if Soros or Tom Steyer or both pay another 1,000 women a million bucks each (costing them only $ 1 Billion), and they line up accusing the excellent Judge Kavanaugh of some totally made up sexual assault charges, dies it mean Chuck Grassley will postpone the vote one thousand times to hear from the latest deranged, lying accuser? Where does it end? And how do we even stop the same thing from happening to the next male SCOTUS nominee from Trump?

The moderates up for re-election - typically in purple states - are understandably worried about this becoming a campaign issue. Corker and Flake want to keep their options open, re cushy, well-paid board positions in large corporations once they leave the Senate. Even that is understandable. In Flake’s case, he might actually be less well-off than when he took office. As an unemployed pol, he needs to worry about his next paycheck.

She’ll respond when it’s too late to make it for Monday and that’ll push it out another week. When that week comes she’ll feel Ill, unable to testify. It’ll get pushed again (because the Repukes will continue to run interference). Then a loved one will take sick...and so on.

I am quite sure that her scrubbed social media has been unscrubbed and she knows it. The cat will get out of the bag if she takes the stand. She wanted this to delay the hearing just long enough to give the rats the opportunity to take the gavel from Grassley.

Most likely this was a fill in the blank allegation. When she saw the name Kavanaugh and saw that he was the nominee, she suddenly remembered this never before revealed attack and filled in the blank with his name.

Yeah let her testify. She won’t. She has nothing and she knows it. She’s just playing for time.

If Corker and Collins are indicating the Senate should move on, i take it as a good sign for the nomination...
