By tomorrow there will be five or six RINOS who will not confirm.
Murkowski, Romney, Collins, Linda Graham, and one or two others.
RBG is dead, and a nomination is dead until 2021.
My bet is that other GOP jackasses come to the front to block a vote ... just to protect him.
Collins and Murkowski are diehard abortion advocates.
Romney wants to stab Trump in the back but knows that sabotaging a Supreme Court appointment would cost him his political future.
Graham will support Trump’s nominee.
RBG is dead, and a nomination is dead until 2021.

The confirmation perhaps, but not the nomination.

“Murkowski, Romney, Collins, Linda Graham, and one or two others.”
Lindsey Graham will NOT hinder the nomination of a conservative judge. He is up for election and is already under suspicion of not being fully a Trumper based on his affiliation for years with John McCain, Trump’s nemesis. He won’t want to lose his Senate seat.
Plus Lindsey cottons up to strong male figures. He has transferred this propensity of his from John McCain to Donald Trump. Trump also gives Lindsey closer entree to the inner circle of power, where he likes to be. Lindsey is a media seeker, and always will be. He doesn’t like obscurity, and rubbing up against (not literally) Trump’s star quality allows Lindsey to bask in Trump’s glow, so to speak. He did the same with McCain. Bottom line Lindsey will stay within the fold.
President Trump will move forward. I’ll side with him either way he chooses.
