He's already seated 200 judges under Trump and got us through the impeachment fiasco.

Go pick on a Dem.

The GOP is in control by 53 to 47, but Murkowski of Alaska has said she won’t vote on a nominee before the election. So that brings us down to 52. Any other defectors, holding to some principles that we should wait till after the election to deal with this? Collins, McSally, Joni Ernst, Thom Tillis, Mitt Romney?

Romney has already said that it is a “lie” that he will not confirm whoever President Trump nominates. All the weasels you mention are running scared, along with a Democrat or two. McConnel and Co. have been on a Ruthy death watch for years. They are ready for this one. Mitch knows he has the votes or he wouldn't have said that he would get President Trump's nominee confirmed. He has already gotten over 200 of President Trump's nominees confirmed. He feels that this is his legacy.

Well, that gets Trump off the hook.

Now he can’t be castigated for being so insensitive to RGB’s passing, because no matter how long he waited until he made that decision, they’d call him insensitive.

And a question....

Where’d the *Cocaine Mitch* thing come from?

Ah, but elections for those 2whose seats are coming up.

That could be a factor in how many of them vote.

Appointing a judge now actually DEFUSES the situation. Can’t get motivated to vote for the court pick if it is already filled.

That would take a lot of wind out of their sails, wouldn't it?

What Dem Senators would be risking their re-elections by opposing Trump’s pick?

That’s the question the media wants to avoid.

We only need one.

This is McSally’s chance to attack the astronaut as a gun-grabber. She must vote for POTUS’s (presumably pro-2A) nominee before the election, and make it a decisive issue to get back in that race.

If my predictions are correct, (and the media is already insinuating this will happen), there will be riots in the streets concerning any nominated SC candidate. How will that play into PDJT’s law and order focus?

I see this playing into PDJT’s hands. He will tout his nominee’s upcoming confirmation hearing, his/her qualifications and make a big fuss about the death threats, violence and nastiness that the Dems and their thugs will subject the public to.

Win, win, win!!!

Is that really all?

In my state it would cost Warner 5 points, but he can afford it unfortunately.

The nation and the Senate mourn the sudden passing...

This was the longest, slow-motion, "sudden passing" of anybody I've ever seen.

Tillis and Romney will vote to confirm.

Not sure about Ernst.

That leaves McSally and Collins.

After Murkowski, we can afford 2 defections. I suggest we offer the same deal Heidi Heitkamp from North Dakota got (she too knew she was going to lose reelection so the Democrats offered her a nice lucrative gig at a Democrat leaning think tank for being a loyal team player if she would vote their way against Kavanaugh which she did).

Between Ernst, McSally and Collins we just need to hang on to one of them. That makes it 50-50 and Mike Pence gets to cast the deciding vote.

Riots in the streets......UNDENIABLY Democrat riots almost certainly helps Trump with his law and order message. People are sick and tired of the rioting.

Payback is a beotch, Schumer. This is what your party gets for the kavanaugh circus. The American people already had a say in replacing RBG when they elected Senators in 2016 and 2018, just as Mitch says.

Sweet! If McSally is in, I think the nomination is a go.

Tillis will be in. Romney will be in. I don’t know much about Ernst. Murkowski who is not a real Republican is out. So that’s 52 left with only Ernst and Collins being questionable.....and we have Mike Pence as our ace in the hole.

The Turtle says “checkmate”.

No more "hearings."

After the Kavanaugh Sh_t Show, we know what the Left will do. Declare the "hearings" irrelevant, and hold a floor vote on Trump's nominee this week.

And get ready for the next wave of riots, murders, lootings, burning, and mayhem.
