I lay the blame for there NOT being 50 locked in yes votes for Kavanaugh from the GOP Caucus directly at the feet of the wimpy Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell!!
He has an aversion to enforcing party discipline on major legislation and his unwillingness at playing hardball with RINO’s like Corker, Collins and Flake on major votes like the Kavanaugh Confirmation!
Spot on. Anybody bucking the Dem party line in a big Capitol Hill battle would be castrated. McConnell is Majority Leader specifically because he allows the “Maverick” cats to wander when they chose. They would have never elected him speaker if he had enforced party discipline to favor POTUS.
Agree. That’s about the only thing I admired about Dingy Harry and the DimRat congressional leadership is their ability to enforce party discipline on major legislation! Not a single DimRat senate vote for tax cuts, even the Red State DimRats up for re-election this year voted AGAINST IT!
If the GOP Senate fails to confirm Kavanaugh or fails to do so in a timely manner (well prior to the midterms) will spell disaster in the midterms! Now is not the time for Mavericks/lame ducks playing games!
Kavanaugh may not get a single Red State Senate DimRat Vote so Mitch must have 50 locked in votes to ensure Kavanaugh gets confirmed by VP Pence casting the tie breaking vote!
