GOP nervous ahead of Kavanaugh vote: “We don’t have 50 right now
Axios ^ | 10/5/18 | Jonathan Swan

Posted on 10/05/2018 4:08:11 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

...A senior source involved in the process told me fairly late last night:

"We’re going into this vote and we don’t have 50 right now." "There’s been a lot of work that was done today, by members wading through this material. I don’t want to put my thumb on..."

Time for those who will vote yes to do some leaning on those who are vacillating. I talk to conservatives from all over the world that see this vote as critical to the beginning of a reclamation of politics, the law and culture in western society. Funny how things can seem to come down to one point in time. It may be if this fails that it causes more people to rally or we may be at point of critical mass and from here the chemistry will not be right and the revolution will fall away into factions. My focus is on now as are my prayers!

Ditto.

Collins is apparently waffling . . . NBC is reporting that she is concerned about Kavanaugh’s “temperament and impartiality questions.”

I honestly don’t understand why these people bother to call themselves Republicans, and I sure as hell don’t get the people who vote for them. Shameful!

A “senior source”.

Yeah, I believe that.

Don’t agree. At this point it’s useful to get everyone on record for the midterms. This is a case where you bring a vote regardless of the outcome.

They. Will. Cave.

And they will be deservedly crushed.

No, that is DUMB. You’re going to let Red State dems win over their Republican opponents because a could of socialist democrats disguised as Republicans stop this nomination?

That is DUMB. Collins won’t lose a damn thing being in the minority party if the GOP is wiped out.
She’ll happily go along with the left’s agenda, keep her grifting senator job.

The best way to punish these lefty R’s like Collins if she votes no, is get more R’s in the senate from red states, and banish her ass off of committees and cut pork to her state and make her vote irrelevant.

If im honest with myself he will probably not be confirmed. Mainly because Flake and Murkowski are Trump hating scum. Collins and Manchin are shaky as hell. Keep in mind these RINOS constantly conspire among themselves and Democrats as to how to game the vote for their own interests.

“Axios is the new far left Politico liars.
I do not believe a word written by these Dem operatives.”

That’s right. Axios is another Soros operation.

Flake was always going to be a NO vote. And, you’re right: He wants his McCain “thumbs-down” moment as a poke in the eye of President Trump.

If you think Rs should be voted out because of three lefties with Rs by their names you’re a fool. Get your head straight.

"Are you sure about that?"

No, I didn't mean to say that he's said that. As President he should not say anything in regards to that, he should just be saying that Judge Kavanaugh needs to be confirmed now. What I meant is that is what President Trump should do if Kavanaugh gets voted down. Announce he's going to renominate him and let this be a referendum on the Democrats antics.

If K fails to get the vote, hopefully the GOP will pick up seats in the Senate in November. Re-nominate him and stick it to the RATS.

I hope their constituents have the same opinion. Vote them out if we can’t count on them for crucial votes in congress.

Thanks for the clarification.

I don’t agree that he should renominate him. The only reason for doing so would be to try to use it as a campaign issue and I don’t think it that if he did the GOP would gain a single seat. There are a lot of GOP women who have bought into all the media BS and I think renominating Kavanaugh would only serve to aggravate the schism.
