Brett Kavanaugh and Donald Trump are far more popular with Republicans than any GOP senator, although Lindsey Graham is on the way to redeeming himself after his vigorous defense of Kavanaugh and denunciation of the leftist Democrats on Thursday last.
If the Republicans, no matter their excuse, do not confirm Kavanaugh next week, they can definitely say goodbye to victory in the November election.
Most conservatives just barely tolerate the congressional Republicans. That toleration will abruptly cease with a ‘no’ vote on Kavanaugh next week.
The congressional RINOs have to choose between a pat on the head from the leftmedia or their re-election.
We didn't get Gorsuch on the Supreme Court by staying home on election day. We elected the best Republican we could find. Staying home because some RINOs messed up one confirmation would be suicidal. You want to punish the entire Republican Senate because of two RINOs? That's nuts.
If Republicans would all think clearly they would realize that an unsuccessful vote on Kavanaugh should result in gaining more seats in the Senate in November and a smooth follow-up confirmation. I can imagine no reason not to re-nominate Kavanaugh in January and have him confirmed by 52 or 54 true Republicans.
Kavanaugh said that he would never quit. Neither will I.
Articles like this one that argue that we should punish true Republicans because there are not enough true Republicans are illogical garbage intended to sow discord where there should be none.
