How far is the Ford woman on her week long roadtrip to hitchhike to DC to testify?

77% of sexual assaults go unreported

If they’re unreported, how can anyone possibly know the number?

This isn't fair to McConnell. Both he and Grassley are hamstrung by Collins, Flake, and Murkowski. Collins is probably the key vote. If they ram this vote through without offering a hearing to Ford, they'll all vote no and the nomination is sunk.

If their goal is to get Kavanaugh confirmed, as distinguished from the goal of beating their chests and proving how tough they are, they're doing the right thing.

women willing to claim

Not that they were attacked but they were willing to claim they were attacked.

Exactly. I’m not a Collins fan but she wants to hear from the accusers. She wants to vote for Kavanaugh but is telling Grassley shenis holding her support until she gets their testimony.

If we lose Collins, Flake and the red state dems are gone. If Rush is right we lose the mid-terms and the dems will stop the President’s agenda.

Can you spare some time to get the RINOs that aren’t solid to be YES votes?

Otherwise stop demanding a vote “NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”, unless you want to lose for sure.

Take the vote.
Any GOP Week Sister who votes against Kavanaugh
will forever be remembered as the cause of the
extinction of the GOP.
Do any of them really this forever label?

I read somewhere that Sen. Collins wants Ford to give her testimony under oath. Most feel that is a necessity.

Unfortunately while these delays are a disaster it certainly looks like McConnell is delaying because he doesn’t have the votes.

If he called a vote now it would be a repeat of the disastrous Obamacare repeal votes, another total humiliation of Trump.

That is what McConnell is telling Trump.

That is why all the painful to watch crap day after day.

Let’s get the nominee out of committee first. THEN go the full Senate.

That was all a lie. She is hiding out at her father's house in Delaware.

Ask her under oath why she floated that lie to delay proceedings.

Because it is so close to an election, Republicans do have to weigh the importance of getting their nominee seated or risk losing the legislative branch, or for that matter both. It’s a tightrope and they are walking it without a balance pole.

A word or two to Manchin, Heitkamp and Donnelly would help, but they are also walking a fine line. They can vote for Kavanaugh and risk the Democrats wrath or they can vote along party lines and more than likely lose their seat. Or, if it goes the way I am seeing it, they can vote against Kavanaugh, increase their vote among women and hold their seat which is the worst of the scenarios.

Flake, Collins and Murkowski will vote for Kavanaugh for two simple reasons. The first is, they know this is a crock and will not destroy the country over it. They also voted for Gorsuch. The second reason is, this isn’t about Trump. I can see Flake wanting to screw Trump, but this isn’t the way to go about doing it.

The left overplayed their hand with no exit strategy.

I drove to the Sacramento, CA area from Knoxville, TN this summer in 5 days at 500 mi. per day. It’s a long, hard drive. To go the 3,000 miles form Palo Alto, CA to DC adds another 500 miles. No way a trip like that can be made with adequate time to rest afterwards in less than seven days.
