Kavanaugh is short of votes, but fate hinges on upcoming testimony [Urp]
Fox News ^ | September 25, 2018 | Chad Pergram

Posted on 09/25/2018 1:41:51 AM PDT by familyop

When it comes to the nomination of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, remember one thing: The math is the math is the math. Nothing else matters...Ten GOPers remain undecided. They are Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La.; Susan Collins, R-Maine; Bob Corker, R-Tenn.; Mike Enzi, R-Wyo.; Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.; John Kennedy, R-La.; James Lankford, R-Okla.; Jerry Moran, R-Kan.; Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska; and Ben Sasse, R-Neb...Know this: a nominee on the verge of sailing to confirmation doesn’t appear on national television with his wife to make his case.

I cannot envision any scenario where the GOP actually needs Manchin to confirm a U.S. Supreme Court justice.

Manchin will not vote to confirm Kavanaugh if there is a single Republican voting against confirmation.

The "undecideds" are not - they know exactly how they are going to vote. They play this game for two reasons:

1) Not showing you hand allows you the aura of "objectivity" and the opportunity to say you "listened carefully to both sides before my vote." Senators love this self-stroking of their own ego.

2) Some of them want something. A deal. A sweetener. In the case of Flake, it might mean that he wants a guarantee that he won't be prosecuted for his crimes (and yes, Flake is a criminal).

My President, Donald Trump has spoken highly of this man. If the GOP does not back him, I will never vote for them again. President Trump, I am with you. Georgia House and Senate members, if you do not back my Presidet’s nominee, I will vote against you.

HHAAHAHAHAHAHAA FoxNews trying to keep the agitprop alive ... this apparently is the 'balanced' part of the quotient ... anyone who has followed Pegram on Twitter knows he knows it's all bs.
@ChadPergram Sep 22

Fox is told by source that they would “be surprised” that Ford ever would appear, considering “how far apart” the sides are.

This Chad came out of nowhere besides the closet, and now he is an oracle. He is the epitome of the sourpuss downer that some republicans have become.

He ALWAYS has the negative side of the situation.

John Kennedy???????, no way he is on the fence except in Chad’s dreams.

Those jerks just want to appear open minded. They’ll vote for him. If you seen the Kavanaugh interview you’ll see they picked the wrong guy to accuse. He’s not only believable but you want to go out and beat up every person who is falsely accusing him. He’s the person I think we all wish we could be. He lived an exemplary life. He’s like Jesus’s brother only better. They have to know this guy and his family is hurting terribly and will receive the sympathy vote. I think the Republicans want her to show up because a false accuser is so easily obvious next to a saint, and I’m not catholic. I’m sending an email and making a call to sasse. I’m also reminding him to get over his hatred of Trump and in case he didn't notice, rinos are going extinct in our party.

“are Collins, Corker, Flake and Murkowski.”

I know Flake isn’t running again so I have been worried about him. He really HATES POTUS and I can see him voting no unless he’s worried about what may happen when he goes back into the real world where the deplorables live. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up indicted for something because he sure did remind me of Linda Blair in the Exorcist after Pres. Trump was elected.

Does anyone know if the other three are running again?

President Trump is holding a rally in West Virginia on Saturday for Manchin's opponent Morrisey. Manchin is a possible vote for Kavanaugh. The timing of this rally couldn't be worse.

WORSE?

You are the most negative gubbernor ever. Go back to DU.

The timing is spectacular.

In fact, Chaddie broke the Feinstein quote: "I can't say that everything [about Ford] is truthful" exactly one week ago!

@ChadPergram Sep 18

"From colleague Connor Marley. Feinstein on Ford. Says Ford "is a woman that has been, I think, profoundly impacted, on this..I can't say that everything is truthful. I don't know."

It's a game people. Our democracy is just a game to media people inside The Swamp. Winners and losers.

"The timing is spectacular."

I agree. Trump gonna take it straight to ManChin.

If ManChin votes "Yes" on Big K, he's got a shot to keep the seat, depending on how badly the nutroots behave after Big K is confirmed. If ManChin votes "No" on Big K, forget it. The PAC ads will steamroll.

“This is bologna. He’s at 49, minimum. Only Flake, Murkowski and Collins are in the air. Saying “Moran hasn’t officially announced support” is just goofy, like saying “only 20 Senators oppose Brett Kavanaugh” because Chuck Schumer hasn’t officially stated how he’ll vote.”

Notice how Donnelly, Manchin and Heitkamp aren’t mentioned anywhere. Kavanaugh is going to be seated, just a question of when.

I think Collins will be a yes vote. Murkowski, don’t know what her game is. My perspective of Alaskans is that they’re pretty conservative but maybe not, don’t know. Flake, he suffers from terminal Trump derangement syndrome. Being controlled by a dead McCain.

The man will be confirmed

The Republican voting against him will be ostrasized and destroyed by the party
