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.

BK has a lifetime appointment currently - how do you draw the conclusion that: “...his career is pretty much over.”?

The Party of Lies has destroyed another person. None of theirs of course are like this. They want this selection to wait until after the 2020 election. This is what they are pushing for. They will keep doing this until they pull it off. This is the way of the Communist Dimocrat Party of Amerika today. This mess will never stop. This is politics in the former “United” States of America. And of course, the COWARDS of the RINO Party will side with them. That is the WAY of the One Worlders. Trump is their target. They seek to take the House this year, then the White House in 20. The way it is going they may take the House. Our side will sit on their collective asses and won’t show up this year to vote and they will run off with the House. Then the impeachment trials start and that is all you will hear for two years.

The judge has hired a very expensive lawyer. Her specialty is defamation. If you watched the interview he gave last night, he repeated over and over that “clearing his name” was very important to him. It was painful to watch his face and that of his wife during this interview.
I am thinking he plans to sue his accusers, Diane Feinstein,and those who colluded to smear him. I intend to contribute to this fund, even though I dislike GoFundMe.

“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.”

This tells you it is completely political.

I agree with you USS Alaska.

Having a rally right in the thick of it may “inspire” Manchin to vote yes out of fear for his seat (which we are trying to take anyway.)

I’m not sure they will pick up anything if this weak kneed congress can’t pass an excellent candidate before the midterms. Rush and now Laura Ingraham are saying voters are going to punish the Republicans if they don’t have a spine to get this done.

This won’t stop me from boating but I am disgusted. And I can see how others might throw in the towel. After a while voting for the lesser of the evils gets you nothing. We voted for Trump for judicial appointments and Congress can’t even do one thing right. No wall, or deportations, they were fighting him at every little thing.

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.

In the end, Manchin is still a Democrat and he can't be trusted.

Yes, I agree, he appeared beaten down, timid and defeated. I made those comments in a post last night. Judge Napolitano just said his demeanor in the interview didn't do him any good and he needs to show some fight in his statements before the committee on Thursday. Mitch showed some spine in his statements before the Senate yesterday (angrily calling it a smear job) and the judge has to act that way (restrained anger?) in his testimony. An example was Justice Thomas who in his testimony called it a "high tech lynching."

In the end, even a Democrat can be trusted to try to save his position of privilege... usually.

And we have NOTHING to lose in pressuring them to do the right thing. Only 1-2 need to do so to make Collins and Flake irrelevant and powerless

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

Oh? Look at McCain's vote not to support Obama care and look at the funeral he got. (Of course, it was mainly the MSM and the Dems who kept the event going for five days.)

The election is in 6 wks... just 42 days... and many races need attention. Waiting is not an option.

Flake will vote for him, and if it comes to a tie... Pence will step in as well.

Almost all of the folks on Fox News Channel rave about Chad and his “insider” information on the doings of the House and the Senate. I have followed this guy’s rants and raves and he ain’t really got a good record of predictability.

He is however at home with like FNC failures and Trump haters, Shepard Smith, Neil Cavuto, Charles Gasperino, and many others. So...when Chad shoots his mouth off...I never listen to a word he utters.

As I said, it is all political theater. The Dems can be frank as to how they will vote, but the Reps must play games so as not to alienate women.
