I am usually not a negative nellie but getting a little nervous about this going in the crapper. The Murkowski is an unbelievable twit. I mean really, WTF are Alaskans doing electing such a brainless kleptocrat anyways. Collins is an imbecile anyways but she knows politics. If the Triumvirate of the ignorant(Flake, Murkowski and Collins) F this up well they are dead to me. Traitorous a-holes

Collins was one of the people who supported Flake's request for a one week delay to conduct an FBI investigation. Collins called the FBI investigation very thorough. It concluded that there was no corroborating evidence to the allegations.

Collins wants to explain to her Dem constituent in MA how she reached her conclusion on voting for Kavanaugh or not. I think a yes is more likely.

Because a brainless kleptocrat is still a kleptocrat. And they like being cut-in on the klept.

I’m hoping the vote goes exactly like this did.

"Hopefully, those wishy-washy Repubs will see this in the FBI reports and maybe it will click in their brains what a hit job this was, rather than a valid, corroborated sexual assault."

We can afford to lose one more vote, with VP Pence breaking the tie.

Old criminal hag DiFi.... what a load a hubris.

She is so cracked and ancient that she looks like one of the ridiculous Picasso paintings.

the risky part of this i fear is that collins is effectively casting two votes with Manchin following in lockstep, If she’s a yes then the flake doesn’t matter.

Murk is a feminist Rhino..... She has long supported abortion, planned parenthood, and has a strong network of feminist friends.... in fact she was one of the three decisive votes that killed the repeal on the Affordable Care Act,... and she's always been anti-Trump unless it's regarding Alaska's oil becuase Alaska’s economy is built on oil revenues.

Watch the demographics; there are more women than men and many of the male new citizens are from countries that have a history of leftist governments and citizen dependency.

Palin and the Murkowski family are bitter enemies.

Could Palin win in Alaska at this point? I thought the locals did not like her quitting as Governor.

So she’s angling for a last-minute pork bribe from McTurtle, to switch to ‘aye’ tomorrow.

MA is still essentially a blue state. The local media have urged her to vote “No.” She is under political pressure, unlike Flake and Murkowski who are in Red States. Her situation is similar to Manchin, Heidkamp, Tester, Donnelly, and McCaskill.

I think expulsion requires a 2/3 majority.

Most women are NOT supporting the Dems on this.
They know a smear job when they see one.
