Thats grand standing.

Most senators will vote without announcing it in advance.

Mitch knows the number already. This is just liberal theatrics.

Imagine if Trump had nominated a really conservative judge???

We're gonna have a week for the "FBI" to investigate.

No, we're not. No delay has been agreed to by anyone.

McConnell needs to line up the 50 Republican votes to confirm, tell Flake to take a hike and take the floor vote!

This wouldn’t be happening if McC had not turned on Judge Moore.

The Dems keep bringing up the FBI investigating during the Anita Hill allegations...it did nothing to quell the debate because the Dems STILL believe HER despite the investigation. IN fact one of the Dems asked Kavanaugh yesterday if he believed Anita Hill.

BREAKING NEWS:Republican Senator Murkowski says she supports delay in planned Senate vote on Kavanaugh

Any delay means radical extremist Islamocrats will have more slime scumbags coming out with more feces to throw on the wall.

JUST VOTE NOW!!!

The Reps can lose Flake but no one else. McConnell will count votes and make his decision on calling the vote.

Murkowski now stands with Flake! She wants Flake's delay.

What!? Flake got a WEEK delay after the Demonrat performance yesterday?

No, he did not. No one but McConnell can schedule a delay.

I watched the President live and I agree with your assessment about why he didn’t want to say too much. Tump doesn’t control the Senate and he has talked in campaign speeches this fall about the “razor thin” majority - Republicans don’t have a majority without Flake, Murkowski and Collins. These senators might as well be Democrats. Whether we like it or not, these three RINO senators are controlling this process. It’s really upsetting, but it’s the way it is and I hope it will create some urgency for conservatives to support conservative candidates.

McConnell doesn’t have the votes.

Deep State Republicans win again.

There IS going to be a delay.
Another HUGE mistake.

Hold the full vote Monday. Even Kavanaugh said yesterday if he loses so be it so long as he got a chance to clear his name.

Let the NO voters go on record Monday and Trump can nominate someone else.

Elephant In Room.

Have not heard anybody mention this:

The FBI is in the middle of being outed for rankly partisan (anti-Trump and anti-Republican) behavior!

Who trusts them?

Wray is going to stand up and vigorously exonerate Kanvanaugh?
