GOP nervous ahead of Kavanaugh vote: “We don’t have 50 right now

...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..."

she (Collins) is concerned about Kavanaugh’s “temperament and impartiality questions.”

Bobble Head Collins finds a whiff of toxic masculinity to be obscene, even when an innocent man is defending himself from a bogus gang rape charge. Kavanaugh needs to become a complete punching bag for the left to earn her vote.

Problematic? Me thinks not. Stop thinking negative.

I think the witness tampering evidence involving Monica Mclean will be what brings down the conspiracy.

It’s trending on Twitter this morning.

If the GOP looses, this, they can kiss their ball-less bods good bye.
We’ve had it.

Mothra was better.

Nice ruse to keep the Democrats hopes up———

After the vote, it’s back to Dems swilling vodka and valium.

I know Graham says Trump should renominate him, but I didn’t/don’t see anything anywhere that says Trump said he would.

I remember PDJT saying (he was asked at one of his press talks before boarding Marine 1) that it was 'an interesting idea', but nothing further.

Easy target - new ships for Navy at Bath Iron works.

This. While I suppose it possible someone could have waffled, I think it unlikely on something this big.

[Phillyred]

Any more Chinese drivers hanging around, passing envelopes around?

"...let them reap the whirlwind that will follow..."

Yeah! Let’s go cross-party and elect oddball Socialists to teach those darn Republicans a lesson!

That’s my view as well. If he gets voted down, re-nominate him after the red wave boots out Dems in November. Make it THE issue of the fall elections.

[Fightin Whitey]

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

If those three lefties with Rs by their names carry the day today, then a very long night has started for all of us.

Could be real, except axios always lies. They are a D party organ.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"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."

Neither of them are running for re-election this time. This will all be forgotten in two years and we'll have had at least 10 more 'outrages' to talk about that have replaced this one.

There are a bunch of red state Dems that are up for re-election and that's what's important right now.

It’s time to vote.

Senators have already made up their minds which way they are going to vote and it’s not going to get any better going forward by any delay of the vote.

The public opinion momentum has shifted to the Republican side for the moment but that could change in a heartbeat

I agree,twill be fun:)
