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.

Is that counting VP Pence’s vote?
Pence only votes if there is a tie.
The math is simple.
There are 51 GOP Senators and 49 Rats.
Flake, MooCowSki and Collins = 3.
51-3 = 48
Pence votes when there is a tie.
