This is likely the vote for tomorrow. Then the riots can begin.

idk, Collins press conference at 3 will determine it. Dems just need to flip 2 of 3 Senators in question. Flip 1 of 3 and it is tie and Pence breaks. So if Collins says shes voting no, then Manchin will be under intense pressure. I think Collins will be saying why she is voting yes based on what she has said on FBI report. If Collin holds then it gets down to Flake holding.

I agree.

It's time to strip her of her committee assignments and send her packing to the Democrat Party.

AND why the hell does Collins have to hold a presser?!! I think the witch is going to backstab the base..but why today and not tomorrow on the actual vote?..I hate those two witchy twins!!! I know I’m jumping the gun here but I sense a no vote coming from her! She is preparing the base and covering her ass from the Soros mob!! Unreal if she does that! Why give a man hope just to kick him in the scrotum! God is watching and so are we!! We’ll remember!!!

Ditto on “dumb Alaskans”; nearly as bad as brain-dead Arizona voters.

Even jokes like this do no one favors. Fight for your country.

I did. As an officer of Marines for 23+ years. How about you?

It’s quite possible that Murk always was a No. She has never declared anything to the contrary.

I have the same suspicion. And perhaps this has been Collins' hangup. I can scarcely hope to fathom Collins' thought process, but it's possible she has been reluctant to be the only woman in the Senate to vote yes on what has become a gender crimes case.

Remove her from all committees, and strip all of the pork she slips into the budget.

She would would look foolish if she changed after saying yesterday the FBI investigation was very thorough... I hope she’s just looking for more spotlight, at 3 pm as the entire world will be watching

Too bad Murky is a bought and paid for Rat already. Anyone with a functioning brain can see that now.
Cannot stand this woman.

I wonder how fast Joe Manchin’s numbers will collapse if he votes “no” tomorrow?

Whether he likes it or not, he just made himself the deciding vote. If he should vote “no” he is done in WV.

“Manchin will be the only Dem yes vote and we’ll be lucky if he stays a yes.“

Pretty sure he’s going to end up a no. He basically said he just voted yes to move the vote forward. Flake will probably flip too. It looks grim, Collins is probably waiting to see how much flak Murkowski gets before she announces her No vote.l judging by how muted the crazies have been since the vote. Kavanaugh won but the mob is not going crazy this is a bad sign.
