Otherwise it could be embarrassing. Or he’s trying to Bluff the three ridiculous rhinos.
I think he has given up on the 3 Rino’s, and is going to make the Red State Rat’s vote. Do the math, if we win 5-6 senate seats the remaining 2 Rino’s will be neutered, Flake will be gone, we will still hold the Senate with a much better position for the MAGA agenda.
Not having a vote would be disastrous for the Republican Party in November. Holding a vote will be a winner for Republicans either way. . If Kavanaugh is confirmed, it will be justice done. If he is not confirmed, I think that even more Republicans will win their elections in November. Anger will be aimed at the R Senators who voted no, not at all R’s. Kavanaugh would be unfairly kept from a Supreme Court seat, but next term another Trump nominee will be nominated.
