Well, it’s a start, but I’m not breathing easily, yet. We still have to wait for the vote, and there are still far too many RINOs in the Senate...
It takes time to get used to winning.
You will have lot’s of practice going forward.
Gorsuch is a straight shooter. I would say if there are 52 votes to change a historic filibuster rule there should be 52 or more votes to confirm Gorsuch.

There most likely won’t be a single GOP defection. Gorsuch is taking the place vacated by Scalia. It takes less courage to maintain the status quo than to upend it. None of the moderate GOPers have objected to Gorsuch. Afatk, he may not even be as conservative as Scalia. That will make this an easy vote for them.
No Republican is going to vote to end the filibuster and not vote for Gorsuch. Plus, three Dems in red states pledged to vote for him.
McCain, Graham, etc wouldn’t vote for the nuclear option unless the vote itself was 100% guaranteed.
This is a done deal. 100% guaranteed that Gorsuch is confirmed.
He will pick up some Democrat votes.
Keep a wary eye on the pit viper known as McPain....
It only levels the playing field back to 4 vs 4 with Kennedy remaining the most powerful man in the US. We still need to get one more solid conservative in there, to replace one of the commie dimwits or Kennedy. Maybe even a couple of more. But, this only gets back the loss with we lost one of the best we ever had on the Supremes.
