With all due respect, the Senate (including McConnel) is held hostage on this matter by Collins, Murkowski and Flake.
They need at least 2 of those votes to confirm Kavanaugh and there’s just no getting around that.

You are right. McConnel can’t really do a thing.
Then why is he majority leader? Flake he can't control because he's gone in a few months regardless. Collins and Snow can be faced with losing committee roles, etc. Lots of arm twisting that can be done. Do it, Mitch!

Is that counting VP Pence’s vote?
You can always make them do what they said they will and vote against. All these people will be going against their constituents and Trump will not stop bashing them for the rest of their careers
