I am not worried about Grassley. Flake, Collins, Corker, and Murkowski are the ones who we should be concerned about. The GOP can only lose two votes and Kavanaugh is finished.
Collins maybe. Corker needs an ethics investigation. I expect Flake will want to do some lobbyist work inside the beltway and burning GOPe bridges isn’t the way to do that. Kavanaugh is W.’s boy. He’s messing with the Bushes here. Murkowski needs Trump for DOE issues.
If McConnell can’s pull this GOPe SCOTUS nom through the Senate he needs to be replaced. It’s that simple.
Word has it even before the latest disclosure that Flake will vote “Present.”
