Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., advised President Trump to renominate Brett Kavanaugh as his pick to replace Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court if his confirmation crumbles in the Senate under a wave of sexual assault allegations.
Part two of this strategy would be to wait until the 2018 midterm elections to play out as a de facto referendum, particularly in "Trump states."
"Here's what I would tell the president, I would appeal the verdict of the Senate to the ballot box," Graham told host Sean Hannity in an interview Monday evening. Remembering lives lost: Four NASA disasters Watch Full Screen to Skip Ads
"This way the American people will have the last say, he emphasized," adding, "I’d ask voters in Indiana and Missouri and North Dakota and other places where Trump won saying who he would nominate if he got to be president and see if voters want to appeal the verdict of their senator."

Amen.
Kavanaugh is our Dreyfus affair; how a Jewish officer in the French army was railroaded by lies and deceit.
Obviously, the GOP’s internal polling is showing them killing this, at least at the moment.
That’s not going to stop the Destructocrats from manufacturing more garbage on Kavanaugh. By election day, they’ll have dug up things he did in first grade, and they’ll be making him out to be a serial killer.
IF the Senate rejects Kavanaugh, it will be because Republicans voted “no.” There is no way around that. Its not an issue of Dems vs Republicans. Its an internal GOP issue. If the Senate rejects Kavanaugh, the GOP leadership should remove the “no” votes from key committee positions and strip them of their rank. Let’s see if Lindsey supports that.

I was thinking the same thing. LG’s been looking at the numbers.
Provided the Judge is willing to continue, I agree.

The feeling I am getting is the women who are ticked, think of this as Mothers Sons being attacked. Women whose sons are in college, or graduating and starting careers, with huge college debt, that can be capriciously snuffed out by an angry girlfriend, or even a complete stranger, fears of blackmail by these she-devils (their words)that prey on the innocent, or inexperienced. Mamma Bears through out the country are rising in abject anger at the direction this is turning. Some fear the mere mention of a tactic will encourage such things.
This has gone too far, too quickly, and needs to be not just stopped, but attacked at its source.
The radio talk show suggested a concerted effort to give back to the Demo rats just what they have been dishing out.
Like dealing with any radical group, the only way to stop them is with overwhelming force, persistent and unrelenting.
You do know, this is right out of the Rules for Radicals from Saul Alinsky.
They suggest we fight back as republicans, and make the people who scream at senators in Elevators pay for play, prove they were damaged (which they may have been, but did not file police reports) and force them to address them in a civil manner, and be responsible for their words and actions, and take protestors to court.
If they are paid protestors, make them be forced to say who paid them.
Follow the money...
By fighting back, its the only way to stop the Democrat Bully...and it needs to start now.
The Democrats seem to want to stall until after the election. Are they sure they want to?
It reminds me of the dilemma that football team A faces when it has a slim lead, near the end of the game, but where the team B is threatening. Does Team A allow the clock to run, or do they stop it? If they let the clock run, and Team B fails to score, it’s great. But if they let the clock run and Team B scores to take the lead, it’s bad.
Lindsey Graham: “Pay me now or pay me later.”

The texts from Ms. Berchem do not appear relevant or contradictory to Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony. This appears to be another last-ditch effort to derail the nomination with baseless innuendo by Democrats who have already decided to vote no. 1/6

Mutual friend of Ramirez and Kavanaugh anxious to come forward with evidence, including texts. (link: https://nbcnews.to/2NWlFLv) nbcnews.to/2NWlFLv
Shortly before Friday’s committee meeting began, Senator Blumenthal’s office forwarded ten emails to the Chairman’s office originally from Ms. Berchem. They were immediately passed to Chairman Grassley’s oversight and investigations team for review. 2/6
Committee investigators advised Senator Blumenthal’s staff that they could contact the FBI to pass along that information if they thought it was necessary. Wheth
Separately, it just doesn’t make sense to refer conversations between old classmates about a news story to the FBI—and Sen. Blumenthal certainly knows that. 4/6
It seems perfectly sensible and predictable for Judge Kavanaugh’s associates to engage with Yale friends about rumors given the numerous unsubstantiated allegations that have been picked up by media throughout this process. 5/6
In the texts, there’s no suggestion that Judge Kavanaugh made any effort to conceal anything or press anyone to say something untrue. This is just the latest ridiculous attempt to smear Judge Kavanaugh’s good name. 6/

This is exactly what I’ve been suggesting.
Either Flake, Collins and Murkowski (at least 2 of those 3 anyway) commit to voting for Kavanaugh when it comes up for the vote OR suspend the vote and leave it up to the people.
Of course there are a lot more Democrats up for election and in red states.....AND the Democrats probably don’t want this because it would motivate the Republican base to turn out in droves......
So we get Justice Kavanaugh within a week or we have a big campaign tool.
No!
The Democrats looked a gift horse in the mouth on this one. Kavanaugh was a moderate Bush choir boy intended to be confirmed easily. The Democrats trashed him anyway. If he makes it through confirmation more power to him. He has just got a lesson he will never forget about lefty treachery... moderate no more.
If he is not confirmed and the Senate picks up enough seats in the midterms to silence the RINOs Kavanaugh was intended to appeal to... a hard core conservative should be nominated. I am thinking Sarah Palin, or Amy Coney Barrett. The Dimwits have cried wolf once too often and no one will listen to their fevered protests a second time around. Screw them big time, they should have taken Kavanaugh, the compromise nominee. The same goes for when Ginsberg’s staff is no longer able to conceal her dementia. Replace her with a hard core conservative. Screw the Dimwits.
Not sure what happened to Graham but I like it.
I am beginning to see the outlines of a scenario where the Dems cry uncle and allow Kavanaugh to pass through.
Every day, and in almost every way, their polling is trending down-down-DOWN as this thing drags on and people become more and more outraged.
There is barely...and I mean, BARELY enough time for people to start forgetting about it by Election Day if they walk away NOW.
They MUST let go of this tar baby or be destroyed. I think certain powers that be in the Democrat Party are beginning to think this way.
“Not sure what happened to Graham but I like it.”
I think Lindsey took whatever little testosterone Flake had
and grew an extra pair.
Looks that way - he may soon be referred to as “The Man Formerly Known as Linda”....
