It’s not going to matter how deep the background checks are when lefty POS make up an accusation that can’t be disproved (even if there is no corroboration).

He will vote Yes. He doesn’t want the Kerry problem.

If Flake or Collins vote no that means Manchin has to be a yes vote or Kavanaugh is done. Manchin will never be THE VOTE to put Kavanaugh over. Never. He’s a coward. So unless Flake and Collins vote to confirm him the crazied democrats get their way and Brett Kavanaugh’s life has been destroyed. And it will be his own party that did it to him. Sorry ass liberal republicans. Every damn one of them should be purged from the Republican Party,

Alaska kicked her out in the primary and with Bush League Republican help she got back in through a write-in campaign that would not have worked in any other state.

I doubt it even worked in Alaska in that election. It smelled to high heaven of fraud from top to bottom. I think if someone even wrote a barely discernable "M" on the ballot, it was counted as a vote for this RINO cow.

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.

If that is true, then Collins needs to get out of the D.C. bubble or check the polls. A majority of women in the real world support Judge Kavanaugh and are appalled at how he has been treated.

And this is a woman who almost retired from the Senate to run for Governor. Sigh.

I’m sure a few choice bribes/threats will get Murk back on board.

Fox is saying Murkowski os a NO tomorrow.
.

Yea well DUH! She voted no for the cloture vote.

This bitch needs to go down in 2020. She’s clearly being paid off, or is a moron.

Who would allow slanderous vile lies concocted by the left influence you to vote no even after yet another FBI investigation?

This corrupt POS skank.

“Alaska already did back in 2010 and she ran as the UNIPARTY candidate. >:( “

The GOPe worked to defeat a thier own candidate and helped Murkowski win as a F’n write in. This is thier fault just like Alabama.

I have to agree with your analysis, Kavanaugh will not make it through.

Notice how this worked. Mere but horrible allegations were made that collapsed, utterly. But because the man vigorously defended himself that became the crime. It became about temperament. Now in America, if you defend yourself it is evidence of a crim or a crime unto itself. How long before they label defending yourself as “obstruction?”

If Kav doesn’t get the votes with this senate; the President should re-nominate Kav once the new improved (with more republicans) senate is seated. Poke a red-hot poker in the eyes of scum like Cowski by overriding her vote with superior numbers.

Collins and Flake were both satisfied with the FBI report, Murkowski never commented on it.

I think Collins and Flake will be yes. Flake, for all of his blathering, doesn’t want to be the guy that sinks Kavanaugh.

Murkowski is for all intents and purposes, now a Rat. She’s burned her bridges with the GOP.

Sphinx, there are several other women voting yes - Capito, Ernst, the new one in Nebraska, and the new one in MS to name a few.

Regarding Iraq war, he was for it before he was against it.

Manchin I was for Kavanaugh before I was against him.

When he has voted for cloture, he has never changed his mind

Alaska had a chance to vote Murkowski out when she lost her primary but then won in the general election in 2010. Any doubt that Alaska should vote her out for good next time?
