“Flake is a no, making it necessary to get both Murkowsky and Collins.”

And judging by their comments today about Trump’s comments on Ford, I would count them as a ‘no’ too.

McScrotum is finally holding the vote 2 weeks late after all the damage is done.

You could be right about Flake, however Trump is quietly working behind the scenes to lock in Murkowski and Collins. Joe DiGenova raised an interesting point that Trump could call Murkowski and tell her if she wants to continue getting ANWR funding for drilling in N. Alaska, she better do the right thing.

Murkowski always has this deer caught in the headlights look and appears not too smart or decisive. She needs something to consider beyond her status as a female senator. The ANWR threat could scare her out of her shorts if need be to get her on board.

Collins I don’t care for either but she is smarter than Murkowski and needs adequate cover to stand by Kavanaugh. She more than has it with the Mitchell report and Trump’s hilarious take down of Ford. You know it was effective because it makes them all look foolish for believing this ridiculous accusation.

Yep. Fineswine is one. Normally she would be a shoo-in but thanks to our jungle primary she’s up against a younger more leftist Hispanic Dem, and didn’t even get the endorsement of the state party. Any other year she could probably count on lots of Pubs to vote for her as a lesser of two evils, but I wouldn’t count on it now.

Thank you for not calling all Arizonans stupid because of Judas Flake. We are embarassed and ashamed that this anti-Trump pompous @ss is an Arizona senator.

We got rid of him as fast as we could. He was in his first Senate term, and by 2016 (four years into his term) his approval rating crashed to below 18 percent. Coward that he is, he chose not to run again. We got rid of him as fast as we could.

Yes there is. He has shifted to embrace the demo rat latest whine that Kavanaugh’s ‘temperment’ may not be whimpish enough for Scotus

McConnell has been positively stellar on this. Give him credit for standing tall for K and railing against the Rats who keep moving the goalpost. Great speech right before he declared cloture.

Look at his posting history - virtually every post he makes has references to the anal orifice or genitalia. He’s not to be taken seriously.

President Trump has shown strong leadership and true courage against the filthy Rat fake news complex. By consistently showing courage, I believe he’s helping GOP senators FINALLY find their courage.

Right now I am proud of Yertle, Kennedy, Cassidy, Cruz, and (especially) Magnificent B@st@rd Lindsey Graham, our new senate firebrand. May these men and our wonderful POTUS inspire courage in the other GOP senators!

The only positive thing to come out of this whole Leftist campaign to bar Kavanaugh is that he’s proven he has the stones and the backbone to weather ANY storm.

When describing traitorous swamp scum, I find myself compelled to use colorful metaphors and since I’m one of the few that know everything, of course you should take me seriously.

Yeah, McScrotum has done a bang up job supporting Trump, his agenda, and getting all his fellow republican senators(hillary voters) in line /s

I would never do that. But Virginians, we are stupid. We have a great candidate in Corey Stewart, but there are numerous republicans who don't even know he exists because he's not a celebrity.
