We just have to worry about the others...reading that the corn farmer is with Lisa & Co. on voting no.
This U.S. Senate should vote on President Trump's next nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.— Martha McSally (@SenMcSallyAZ) September 19, 2020
The more I think about it, I think Trump will make a public announcement about his decision (to make sure the media carries it live as the fake news media will be drooling at the thought of skewering him) - and say that he appreciates the support of the Senate Leader, but that he will be delaying announcing his appointment until after the election.
It would project supreme confidence in his expectation of winning which will drive the left bonkers. And sidestep a political war that he most likely would not win.
If someone finds a way to secure Collins vote, that might change, but Mittens will do anything to deny Trump and there are other weak sisters besides Murkowski.
The calculation will be: Do I want this fight now and risk losing confirmation or run a psyop now and have the luxury of time to get the nominee I really want? Because a rushed confirmation before the election would not work for a controversial nominee like Amy Conan Barrett.
Maybe he wasn’t kidding about Ted Cruz ;-)
