Uh-oh. Did Chuck Schumer forget to whip his own caucus?

They all went to the Folsom Street Fair to get whipped - that's kinda how they roll. They are not back yet.

Red state Rats can’t ignore the voters this close to an election.

Once it’s known if/that K will be confirmed, unprincipled Democrats like Manchin, Donnelly and Heitcamp will be the chameleons they are and vote yea for purely political reasons.

I’d rather have some of the Folsom, Key West, Fire Island, Castro and Savannah people in there than what we have now, they’d probably be more conservative! LOL

The Dem. Senators would rather vote for Kavanaugh. They know if they don’t, they will lose for sure in midterms.

They will do what Chuck tells them to do. Only if their vote is not needed will he give them permission to vote for confirmation.

"We're getting close to the end here. I don’t know if we’re ever going to find a time or not," Tester said, adding that he wants to discuss issues such as privacy, campaign finance law and abortion. "If I don’t meet with him, it’s a problem."

You had two months to meet with him after he was named to the seat, you dope.

The Dems. are saying an accusation is good enough to ruin a person’s life. What country are we living in? What happened to the Democrat Party? They want to ruin a person with an accusation? They are not interested in rules?

“They want to ruin a person with an accusation? They are not interested in rules?”

Ever hear of Clarence Thomas? That happened in 1991.

Comedian Democrats poke fun of people like Kavanaugh, who try to live their lives doing the right thing. Dem. Actors make plenty of movies promoting promiscuity. They mock people who want to live an ethical life.

If the vote is Friday, this will put huge pressure on Manchin. If Manchin votes against President Trump's nominee on Friday, President Trump will rip him a new one at Saturday's MAGA rally in Wheeling.

if the Senate votes no and the Republicans gain any seats in the Senate in the upcoming election - as looks likely, I’d just resubmit him as soon as the new Senators were seated if I were President Trump.

“I’m very open. I haven’t closed any doors at all on Kavanaugh. I just want to make sure there’s a fair, open and civil hearing,” said Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, perhaps the most conservative Democrat. “The man has to have a chance to clear his name, but these ladies have the complete opportunity to tell their story.”

Calling them 'ladies' is a bit generous: about as 'generous' as they are rumoured to have been with their favors in the past.

Red state Rats can’t ignore the voters this close to an election.

Here is what they fear:
1. People see the attack as an unfair smear on a good man.
2. Dims holding the letter for 2 months and only releasing it after the hearing is the type of dirty politics people hate.

3. the cry for special treatment as a condition to testify underscores the unfairness the dims want in the proceedings.
4. The dims had already turned the hearings into a circus.

5. That the effect of all of this will be to turn independents and some non insane dims off or take out their disgust on the dim candidate and REALLY, REALLY, motivate republicans to show up.
