Here’s the problem folks, the 4 creeps after plotting to make sure Manchin can vote yes while the rest of them vote no and defeat K. That’s the game they are playing.

“The only Democrat who has not come out against Kavanaugh is Manchin. And he’s problematic.“

Manchin won’t punch the ball across the goal line for the GOP. But, if the GOP scores the winning touchdown Manchin will come in and kick the extra point. That’s all you’ll get out of him.

I’m with you I don’t see 50 (flake, Collins, murkowski, and even Sasse) could be no

People saying Flake will vote no to stick it to Trump are just wrong.

Kavanaugh’s a Bushite and NeverTrumper GOPe people don’t oppose him.

If Flake votes no it’ll be because he’s a cowardly attention whore who thinks he’ll get something out of it later. Trump will either re-nom Kav or nom someone else after Flake’s gone, and use Kav’s defeat as a weapon against Dems.

He’s not hurting Trump in the long term by voting against BK.

Another Fake news story with manufactured unnamed source from a Fake Dem front group .
One of the creators of this lie machine has a wife who does
PR work for the DC Dem party .

And we are supposed to believe these Dem liars ?

"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."

The polls are not showing that. People are now calling it the Kavenaugh bounce. Hell, most of the conservative women I know were attending those frat parties and had a lot of fun. At some point we have to stand for something. Do you really think the next nominee is going to get treated any better? The Dems would find something wrong with them as well. They're probably going through Amy Comey Barret's yearbook right now and will 'prove' that this strong Catholic was a slut in high school that charged boys for BJs...

and whoever


Just remember her as Murky ...

murky meaning: 1. dark and dirty or difficult to see through: 2. used to describe a situation that is complicated and unpleasant ... Murky definition, dark, gloomy, and cheerless.

McConnell MUST have known about Daines - another anti-Trumper.

The Swamp could be setting the vote up to fail so they can say they tried and then go back to important stuff without grief -
like taking kickbacks from globalists like Soros.

I’m hearing that polls are saying that, but I’ve not seen any that confirms it. I’m not sure I believe it. And if there are such polls, are they of likely women voters?

I’m pretty sure if Murkowski and/or Collins vote against recommending Kavanaugh it will be because they believe it would be in their political best interests.

If you don’t already know the answer to that one, you haven’t been paying attention.

“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."

Right you are..!

"Axios is an American news and information website founded in 2016 by Politico co-founder Jim VandeHei, Politico's former chief White House correspondent, Mike Allen, and former Politico chief revenue officer, Roy Schwartz. The site's name is based on the Greek: ἄξιος, meaning "worthy". It officially launched in 2017. The company had raised $30 million, as of November 2017.

Gamera was the giant turtle monster that ate Tokyo back in the 1960s.
