Nothing he can do about Flakehole. That rat bastard already has after-Senate contracts signed with liberals.
But Collins and MurKommunist, he can influence.
“You want any projects in your state in 2019?”
Agree.
Flake is a lost cause.
Collins and The Cowsiki are not lost causes.
McConnell’s PAC backed Murkowski when she ran as an independent in 2010, over the Republican nominee who was backed by the Tea Party. How stupid does that look to him now? But he has to be pointedly reminding her of that. I believe he’ll be very angry if she sinks Kavanaugh, and she has to know that. Mitch must be close with a lot of her backers in Alaska, since they’re all GOPe. There has to be consequences for her if she votes against Kavanaugh.
The leverage the GOP-E has with Flake is “You block Judge K who even rabid Anti-Trumpers want on the Court, and you will not even be able to get elected dog catcher in your home town”
exactly, hang’m out to dry if they don’t get onboard.
