“Why would she hold a presser to vote yes ?

Bad feeling about this.”


Exactly how I see it and feel it.

If she votes no, Manchin votes no and we lose. I don’t think Manchin would be the 50th vote. Unless he plans to switch parties.

I think Flake just wanted the attention.

He has to know that if he’s the vote that sinks Kavanaugh, his life will turn into a living hell.

So it’s 51-49 now. If she changes to a no vote it’s 50-50, she or other dems must be trying to get one more dem to change their vote. Pray yes!


They can lose one more vote. Pence only votes if its a tie. But I don’t think they will. Good thing we are not relying on McCain.

Won’t hurt to offer her a steep discount on Facelifts.
Not that she’s looking for one, of course.

Out on a limb: If he doesn’t get in, he’ll be re-nominated, and the midterms will be all about BK. Red Wave incoming.

But she has already been paid:

The Navy awarded General Dynamics Bath Iron Works a contract valued at $3.9 billion to build four DDG 51 ships

Remember that all Federal contracts are subject to availability of appropriated funds and can be terminated at any time for the convenience of the government.

Imagine if Kavanaugh’s fate rests with the likes of Flake. The only solace is if the Democratic smear actually succeeds, they will be badly punished in November. Murkowski, Collins, and Flake will not be able to give cogent reasons for voting against him and will be stained forever. They will never be trusted or respected by any decent person.

Manchin will vote however Collins does. If Collins is a yes, Manchin will not be the swing vote and his Dem colleagues will understand him voting yes to save his seat.

If he is the deciding vote, Manchin will follow the party line.

Wrathful at her for finally intending to do what makes sense?

Don’t fall into this trap. Give God some credit here. If the proceedings had to drag out this long, there was a reason. He knew a body politic with women in it was going to be harder to manage. It takes longer for their feelings to subside.

But Murkowski will take some of the heat off of him, if he does vote yes.
