Democrat Senators Tester, McCaskill, Donnelly, Nelson and Heitkamp are discussing change of Kavanaugh vote tonight.
I have not seen details of these races. But wondering how strong vocally the challengers of these Democrats are in debates & Tv ads.
Are they giving solid examples why these Democrats should be fired?
Sorry, but TV host of the Apprentice Donald Trump gave great reasons to fire someone. He set my expectations high.

“This is a bad, bad thing. If we can get Cox across the finish line in the CA Gov race, and the actuarial tables catch up with Fineswine in the next 4 years, we can get a GOP CA Senator for the first time in ages. “
Yes, that’s why I had planned to hold my nose and vote for Fineswine until this latest fiasco with Kavanaugh. But I share your reasoning. It is better to re-elect Fineswine, because at 85 ( and she looks like $hit on TV) she’s not likely to survive another six year term. Keven DeLeon, on the other hand is a young Mexican Marxist, who will, knowing CA voters have a lifetime lock on that seat if he’s elected.
Too late, the train has pulled out of the station, the Trump Express with DJT and BK at the controls........these Senators are toast.
Too late. You gutless wonders are in our electoral crosshairs.

Feinstein needs to be prosecuted for her prt in this whole Macbeth play.
IMO, DeLeon needs to prove that he is even in this country legally.....I think he is an illegal.
yup...this will infuriate their electorate even more and further prove how full of sh!t these people are..it will also cheese off the hard left against them- its a win-win for us...
——to stay in power——
Having it predetermined that the democrat cause is lost, what then becomes the most important consideration
Get re elected.
Which vote “yes” or “no” has the greatedt positive re election effect?
What do our internal polls say
Looks like the Avanetti Boomerang effect is now taking hold. In 50 years the Left went from a cleverly intelligent prankster like Abbie Hoffman, to a sleazebag like Michael avenatti. After Decades of accusing conservatives of being religious prudes, it’s so nice to see that when it comes to an issue that’s of great importance to them, like the Supreme Court, they are willing to engage in the most vile sexually charged accusations against these so-called prudes.
Duh..
All theater folks.. as long as the GOP has 50, some of the Dems would join them.
Believed it was going to be a 52-55 vote to confirm from the start, and dispite all the theater, that’s still the most likely outcome.
“I voted against his nomination before voting for it”
This old political gag.
I like your dreams, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Unless something changes, it will be about a +3 in the Senate, -7 in Governorships (from a massive 33-16 lead down to 26-24), and -20 to -25 in the House (and -23 is the magic number... I'm predicting that the magical Majority Seat #218 will take DAYS to finally get called... for one Party or another.)
On NOV 7, nobody will have a large lead in any elected body, and everything will be a close call for the next 2 years.
2020 then becomes a shocking and irrepressible monster, doubling the total spending of any previous cycle, and the campaigns and ads begin around March of 2019... less than 6 months from now... and making the Kavanaugh smears look like a handshake.
Claire went from a very tight race to being down 8 points, Of course she will change her vote if he is going to be confirmed anyway.. Still not voting for her.
Great article. Left out a few names like Blumenthal, Durkins and Coons.
It really looked like a Salem witch trial when in each 5 min block they asked him over and over again about a new fbi investigation and why HE didn’t request one.
It would be good to have more yes votes on record when people look back on this years from now.
Now that Judge Kavanaugh is going to be Justice Kavanaugh, I see DeLeon coming out with both barrels against Feinstein. Oh, he'll be diplomatic, and compliment her for her many years of service, blah, blah, blah, but will say that her time is over and the Senate needs new blood, yakety, yakety, yak.
Cowardly tactics. But their simpering national press corpse in the local news and TV stations will cover for them in the next 30 days.
However, their is also a matter of protocol and pracvtice.
Once a Senator has voted, can he/she/it change their “official” vote from “Yeah” to “Neigh”?
- McConnell has one Senator out of state.
- Pence can’t vote unless the Senate is tied, right?
So Schumer has his “standard slave” democrats vote “no”. Gets 46 “no’s”.
Lets 3 or 4 democrat-socialists vote “yes”. They do so, but knowing they will change their vote at the last second.
McConnell lets the Montana senator go the wedding. His vote isn’t recorded.
Schumer tells the released democrats to change their vote.
Kavanaugh loses because there is no tie.
