Despite him being a weasel never-Trumper, I’m glad he put his value of human life over his disdain for pretty much everything else.
Curious as to what Mittens’ quid pro quo on this is...
Look, I think we should confirm the nominee, but it needs to be done carefully.
Rushing through this will energize the Dems right before the election.
Trump should announce his nominee soon to energize the GOP.
But, hold off until voting until after the election. We have to try to do what we can to save Collins even though she isn’t ideal. We need her seat. She has many gunning for her for voting for Kavanaugh.
If Collins loses, it’s likely the Senate is lost. While many will vote against her already, if she is not forced to vote for a nominee before the election, it would help her.
It could be that if she is allowed to be a token no vote, that could help somewhat, but not as much as if we just wait probably. If we don’t wait, it will energize the left more than the right. If we wait, the right will be energized more.
Give the hearing one week and move it to the floor, get it done and over before the Democrats burn down the capitol.
This never could have happened without DJT, and it’s the powerful love that we supporters have for DJT that gives him his power, and we love him because DJT powerfully supports US! ... the rest of the spineless GOP has now figured out that it’s total political suicide to go against DJT because they’re going against us when they go against DJT ...
This is the exact situation that we conservatives have been praying for for decades as we suffered through uniparty “lesser-evil” RINO globalist liars and traitors like the Bushs, McCain and Romney and the multitude of lesser (but similar) lights in the Senate and the House ...
Many conservatives have argued for a 3rd party but i always believed a third party was an impossibility for success and instead promoted the idea of someone somehow hijacking the apparatus of the GOP, but not knowing who or how that could happen ... now we know ...
Romney ‘supports holding the vote”
He won’t tell us in advance WHAT HIS vote will be.
THANK YOU, MITT!
NOW, LET US GOTTERDONE!
The most probable “compromise” will be a vote out of Judiciary with the floor vote in late November or early December.
If, as seems inevitable, the GOP loses the Senate, the nominee will not be confirmed. McConnell will have kept his pledge of a floor vote, Romney, Sasse, etc can switch for “fairness” because “the people have spoken” and vote “no”.
I hope I’m wrong, but you never lose if you bet on the GOP slithering away from a win to their comfy position as losers.
Linda and the Turtle need to man up and do what their supporters want them to do, which is to EXPEDITE the entire process. The vast majority of my family and friends want it FINISHED by 10/20, OR SOONER!
