Collins and Flake were both satisfied with the FBI report, Murkowski never commented on it.
I think Collins and Flake will be yes. Flake, for all of his blathering, doesn’t want to be the guy that sinks Kavanaugh.
Murkowski is for all intents and purposes, now a Rat. She’s burned her bridges with the GOP.
Remember Manchin said he is only going to look at Kavanaugh from the age of 22 to present. Basically saying that the entire high school/college inquisition is not part of his decision. So only now could he run with the “temperament” smoke screen.
Flake and Collins both asked for this FBI ordeal and both have said nothing in there has brought any new light to the accusations. They both postured that they needed this as cover to vote “yes”. That should not change.
Flake is a Mormon. That alone should have him side as he exits to ensure that a conservative gets on this court for the sake of not just the country but his children.
Collins is from a more liberal state and as a woman could hide behind that from fear of the #MeToo crazies. I will bet Bernie Sanders is all over her.
