I’m not sure of the score card.
How many are (as of right now) definitely out?
That could change with enough pressure but I think we will have 50.
We will get to 50. What would the point of NOT voting to confirm? You are more noble? You are more fair? You can reach across the aisle? I thought we were all past that by now. I mean they IMPEACHED Donald Trump over NOTHING. This is payback. Not even payback really. Just politics.
Portman, Alexander, McSally, Thune, Tillis have all signed on; so we are at 51 (without Collins and Murk) and need 50. Other than Romney, the only ones still out there who worry me are: 1) Burr; and 2) Gardner. I think Gardner will come along (he will have no chance of beating Hickenlooper if he loses the GOP base which this would do) but I wonder about Burr who is under investigation and let that odious Mark Warner run the Senate Intel Committee.
Murkowski, Alaska. Maybe Collins of Maine. I definitely read Murkowski is out, but only heard talk here about Collins...
Romney said he will allow vote, and now Alexander, so that leaves Sasse of Nebraska. What about Burr of NC?
We will have 50. Mitch was pretty quick to announce they are moving ahead.
