No it’s not rude. There are some soft Republicans, plus the GOP is apparently down 1 permanently because John McCain may never return to vote on anything.
But let’s hope some Dems such as Manchin of West Virginia or Heidkamp of North Dakota vote to confirm a conservative nominee.
What does she do now: (1)vote to confirm and hope and pray that helps her keep her seat, or (2) stick with Schumer and attempt to stop a Supreme, while giving up her seat?
She gets no third option other than retire now and allow MOs Republican Governor select her replacement!
Poor gal, she was thinking she just might skate by with another squeaker election. Now, it so much.
