Once again,the spineless can’t stand up for themselves or the American people....
Its do or die time.
If they don’t vote to confirm Kavanaugh, the GOP elephant will become extinct.
People have had enough of the excuses for not doing this promptly.
I have to disagree with all of this.
Yes, we will be enraged if they pass on Kavanaugh and cave.
But, none of us(I hope) will be so petty that we’ll turn Congress over to Pelosi and Schumer. For if we do that, it’s over. They control everything and will impeach the President at their first chance. Then they will set their sights on Pence. For them, it’s complete victory or nothing.
If that happens then get ready for the US to go the way of the DoDo, as we know it.
Yes. They were elected to confirm a good Supreme Court justice more than anything else. If they won’t do that,...
The Kavanaugh confirmation becomes a much more potent political weapon for Democrats after the farce ends and he is confirmed.
When was the last time you even heard a public statement from a Democrat Senator -- other than calls to postpone the confirmation vote indefinitely? This only works for them if the confirmation vote is extended until AFTER the election. The worst-case scenario for the Democrats is one where the Republicans keep stalling the process to "hear from all of these women" while mounting a parallel PR campaign in support of Kavanaugh.

It’s not that GOP voters will vote for Democrats to “punish” Republicans. It’s that enough of a percentage of them will be so disgusted that they aren’t motivated to vote at all, which would end in the same result.
Conservatives want to be motivated to vote FOR something. Not just vote against something AGAIN.
You’re right - We might not get Obamacare repealed, the wall built or conservatives on the Supreme Court.
In other words... back Kavanaugh... back Pres Trump... get off the left’s fence and remember who sent you there and why. Speak out FOR this man who has been attacked so viciously! and stop coddling those women who are up to no good!
You men who don’t recognize a vengeful woman, had better get a clue. Giving her what she wants in step #1, will bring on many more steps you will not want to grant.
The Republicans hate their own voters. We just aren’t vibrant and diverse enough for them.
In total agreement, but those very same Conservatives have to understand what the alternative is.
Turning the government back over to the Democrats, at every level. And I’m sure they will come back with a vengeance. Any and everything that has been gained in the last two years will vanish. Out of control immigration, gun control, you name it, it will happen.
The only thing about what you wrote that concerns me, NOW, is the Supreme Court of the United States.
The President is modifying immigration as we type. He’s reduced the numbers of refugees and is getting ready to do so, again.
The President has signaled that he’s going to go after the ability to access welfare, for immigrants.
The President is reducing the number of H1B and H2B visa’s, with his biggest obstacles being RINOs and the GOPe.
Give that man a Conservative Leaning SCOTUS and I’m betting that we’ll see Birthright Citizenship, finally challenged and eliminated. When that happens, there is no more pot o’ gold at the end of the rainbow(or on the North side of the Rio Grande). Ergo, they’ll stop coming.
That happens and we don’t need a wall, although it’ll still be nice to have.
As for obamacare, he’s allowing insurance companies to sell ‘non compliant’ plans if they want to and it’s slowly going the way of the DoDo. And, it wasn’t his fault it’s still around. We can blame Arizona and Maine for that.
He gets a Right Leaning SCOTUS and the Republicans maintain control, you’re looking at President Pence and then who knows, after that.
Let's look at where things stand. I think I'm pretty solid on these as damn near verifiable facts:
1. The Democrats have lined up all of these so-called "victims" with accusations against Kavanaugh.
2. None of them, however, is willing to testify before the Senate without a set of ridiculous conditions that no governing body would ever meet.
3. The Democrats have been preparing for months to turn this into a major political battle -- aimed at swaying moderate/independent women voters.
4. As part of Item #3, the Democrats and their media wing have probably lined up hours of interviews with these "victims" ready to roll out and cry on national TV as part of this PR campaign. But none of these women will ever testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee because their stories are not credible.
Me theory is that the Democrats have been pushing for the nomination to be postponed indefinitely, but that's not what they really want.
What they really want is for the Republicans to confirm Kavanaugh quickly, so they can roll out their team of "victims" on 60 Minutes, the Today show, Loser Holt's Dateline NBC, etc. ... but they can't do this until AFTER Kavanaugh is confirmed.
If you are Mitch McConnell, what is the best strategy for thwarting the Democrat plan? Lay low, give as much credibility to the "victims" as necessary, and drag the process out until it becomes more and more clear that the whole thing is a charade and NONE of these "victims" are really willing to testify. In the meantime, the only thing the Democrats can do is call to delay the process because they already know their "victims" will be easily shredded if they testify.
Why are we sure the rino senators want to confirm Kavenaugh? They are establishment before they are constitutionalists. They could be trying to TANK this nominee for the globalist progressive open borders oligarchs who will reward them handsomely.
Your post had a lot of “The President” - not much of “the Senate”.
Your post also mentioned the SC. We’ll see if the Republicans can come through on that.
-—In total agreement, but those very same Conservatives have to understand what the alternative is.——
I think most of them do understand.
But one problem is that the margin between a “blue wave” and avoiding the “blue wave” can be razor-thin. Apathy and disgust only has to peel off a small percentage of voters who would have voted GOP but stay home instead. We have to work hard to avoid that.
Confirming Kavanaugh would go a long way. You know how motivated conservatives can be if BK is already on the Court, and they think there’s a good chance Trump will replace Ginsburg in the near-future, too?
But if BK is sandbagged and the nomination fails, it’s too easy for some people to fall into defeatist thinking: “Why bother trying to change anything? It never works!”
Judge Kavanaugh is the easiest proper, honest judge to confirm to the Supreme Court. He’s as clean as they come. This is the last chance.
There’s no worry about impeachment of our President, because a two-thirds vote in the Senate would be required for conviction. And besides they wouldn’t dare.
President Trump does need a good Supreme Court.
And those harpies who are falsely accusing Kavanaugh are the reason to insist on confirmation. We cannot allow the takeover of our Judicial by them. That would amount to the final takeover of our government.
Realize that tens of millions of Americans have already been severely damaged by false accusations and other mischief by those baboons. We know them more than the establishment that raised them is aware.
