All of this MUD, that has been thrown on Kavanaugh, has wound up on ALL of the DEMS and they know it.

Forget "delay"; this was about POWER, soiling Trump,using Kavanaugh as Trujmp's whipping boy, and no matter how many deranged "celebs" protest and yell, the vast majority of the American populace is sickened by the DEM SLIME SHOW.

IT'S OVER, DONE, FINISHED, FOR THE DAMNED DEMS !

On CNN- Breaking News:

After hearing Mitch file for Cloture:

Cuomo and Don Lemon just agreed- that it will be Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh

They gave up. They Quit. The deal is done.

Trump Train Is Rollin!!!!

Actually, I think it was those Mad Max protesters that caught him and his wife.

Holy cats! If CNN and their ugliest minions are throwing in the towel....that’s really something.

There is no coincidence that the media has been focusing much more on other stories today.

Cloture means THE END; no more delay, no more stalling of ANY kind, and no more demands; though it is followed by 30 hours of “debate” of sorts. Then comes the vote.

I wouldn’t be quite so sure yet.

McConnell probably would have filed cloture anyway simply to call any bluff Flake, Collins or the Alaskan cow had made. I mean he has to call a vote anyway right, why wait? He has to put everyone on record even if he knew he didn’t have the vote simply to put the red state Democrats on the spot.

The news is good, but I am not terribly confident in Flake, Collins or Murkowski.

I laughed when McConnell’s cell phone was going off when he filed for cloture.

Dem Senators defending their seats this November from Florida, Montana, South(?) Dakota, Nevada, West Virginia, and Missouri, unless I'm mistaken. Maybe one other too, I thought there were seven.

Chuckie will allow a small number of them to go along with confirmation in order to maybe save their seats. At a point even Chuckie has to recognize that his strategy has been a blunder and to try to salvage what he can...

I have no idea which ones but I agree with the cautiously optimistic view of 52-48 or something like that.

So did I and this CRAP has been worse than the BORKING and ELECTRONIC LYNCHING combined...plus 1,000!

This one WILL be "sweet", once JUSTICE Kavanaugh is sworn in and seated!

The Dems will actually LOSE seats in the Senate and shan't get a majority in the House, so their wetdream of later impeaching Justice Kavanaugh won'/t ever come to fruition and not just because they won't have the numbers..."CAUSE" must be something that happened whilst a judge/Justice is "on the bench" and there is NOTHING!

Yep, McConnell’s phone was blazin away.

I’m guessing it was Chuck-You on the other end whining like a little baby begging for Mitch to stop.

I assume that means he has the votes locked up.

There is a reason why Democrats never, ever, defect on important votes when they are in power. We'll see if McConnell can conjure that same mettle.

No, all it means that he’s tired of messing around with it and he wants to force the vote. He would do it even if he didn’t have the votes so people would be on record prior to the election.

The corrosive influence of McSh!tStain on the Senate are becoming evident now that he is underground.
