Folks this little caper will backfire on the entire Democrat Party. The Democrats are in such a fully insane panic mode, they will do anything, destroy anyone, because they well now that if Trump’s Republicans keep majority control in both Houses of Congress on election day, November 6, 2018, the Democrat Party is politically dead for many years to come.
This is their “Ace-In-The-Hole” play, their last shot, their last chance to take Justice Kavanaugh down and deny him a place on the USA Supreme court. Well...it won’t work.
Not only will it not work, but...it will backfire on the Democrats in many ways. First the Democrats knew about this or contrived it last July and then held this fake news as their last chance ploy to stop Kavanaugh from reaching the Supreme Court.
The Republicans will move the nomination for a vote by the entire Senate who will affirm Kavanaugh, The guys & gals that have the vote problem will be those ten Democrats in the Trump Red states that are running for re-election. They lose, not matter what they do by either voting for or against Kavanaugh.
If they vote for Kavanaugh to be confirmed, the Democrat voters hate them. If they do the opposite, vote against Kavanaugh, then Republican voters hate them, they lose their seats either way.
If I were McConnell...I would go through pushing the vote to the Senate floor as planned, and win two ways, confirming Kavananugh and keeping the U.S. Senate in Republican control. The Democrats in their madness have screwed themselves, royally.
Perhaps, but I worry about Collins and Murkowski.
Ellison is still campaigning and nothing is being done to remove him as a candidate and yet, these two women could sink the Judge.
You’re an optimist, but I surely hope you are right.
McConnell is the key.
