McCain Tweets in Support of Kavanaugh
Twitter ^ | July 9, 2018 | John McCain

Posted on 07/10/2018 4:53:38 AM PDT by 11th_VA

Judge Brett Kavanaugh has impeccable credentials & a strong record of upholding the Constitution. He is widely respected as a fair, independent & mainstream judge. I look forward to the Senate moving forward with a fair & thorough confirmation process.

Republican behavior in the last 20 years has been lacking and in many cases they have behaved more like Democrats than Republicans. My question to a candidate is are you a Republican or a conservative. Right now the Republican Party has as much trust from me as the DOJ, FBI and IRS, there is no trust period, we have been betrayed too many times by the GOP.

As for McCain he’s for McCain and will stab a conservative in the back and take great joy in doing it, ask Sarah Palin. Betraying the GOP is just about as easy for this loathsome and bitter creature.

This means Kavenaugh must not be a good pick. If McCain likes him he must be a liberal.

No surprise. Republicans most always support SCOTUS nominees, from Republican and Dim presidents, too, unfortunately. When was the last time a Republican voted against a Republican president’s SCOTUS nominee? I don’t know.

Red State Democrats won’t vote for him but doesn’t matter as they will lose their seats, ushering in a heavily GOP Senate.
Odds look good GOP will also retain control of the House.

Current polling puts the Senate as staying as-is. (Takeovers in IN, ND, and FL, losses in NEV, TENN and ARIZ)

Solid Trump-win states like MT, WV, MO, and TENN, which Trump won by 21, 42, 18, and 26% respectively, are all polling with the Dem Senate candidate ahead as of today.

Further, MISS is having a jungle primary to replace RINO Cochran, and the Dem is solidly in second to get to NOV. It is possible that we go to a 50-48-2 Senate, which means nothing good with McCain, Graham, and Collins taking turns to vote with the Democrats while "voting right" 2/3 of the time, to save their oily hides. A "Heavily GOP Senate" is not what is on the table right now.

Other Trump-win states (OH +8... PA, MI, WI +<1) all have the Dem incumbent up by double-digits already... although several of all these states have yet to have their AUG Primary election. NINE states that Trump won could make it a 59-39-2 Senate... but that doesn't seem to be happening.

It’s not McCain doing this. He’s either dead or a vegetable. But it’s scary there is handlers are happy with this pick.

Uh oh.

McCain supports.

I now don’t like Kavanaugh so much."

I'm liking Kavanaugh even less now. McCain (if he is still sucking air) is hardly a reliable conservative or Republican vote. If McCain is supporting him it gives me pause.

I also heard on Fox this morning he is a friend of the Bushes.

I am really worried now.

am I missing something?

YES.

When the Deep State (the media) tells you that Kavanaugh voted FOR something, you are NOT supposed to think about it, or research the actual facts for yourself.

GROUPTHINK.... be a part of it. Follow the mob, or else.

I didn’t feel Kavanaugh was a mistake until I read this.

Have you ever considered that the MEDIA might be misleading you about Kavanaugh ? Just because they say he outright voted TOTALLLYYYYYYYYYY FOR the decision doesn't mean it's true.

Is there the slightest chance that he would be able to vote? Let’s “Weekend at Bernie’s” his old arse and drag him to DC to vote.

Lisa M and Collins are the two to watch for more than McCain.

Have you even read the Garza opinion? Didn’t think so, because if you had, then you would know that intially Kavanaugh wrote the majority opinion for the three-judge panel, which stayed the district’s order that directed the abortion. The petitioner then requested an en banc panel hearing from(the 15 active judges on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, who overturned the Kavanaugh opinion. Kavanaugh issued a stinging dissent in support of his initial opinion, which stayed the order granting the abortion.

He’s waiting for Ducey to get past the Aug. primary so that Ducey can appoint his daughter without getting booted from office.

But can he actually get his sorry butt to the US Senate to actually vote when it counts?
