53-47 would insulate the Senate from Romney, Collins and MooCowski. 53 is a key number. There aren’t many others in the Senate that would jump on Judicial nominations.
I also fully expect the Rats to pull some sort of Kavanaugh/Moore type fiasco in the Mississippi runoff to somehow try to swing that seat back to them, but Hyde-Smith is a woman, so that will make it much more difficult for them.
A good time for all conservative voters to give whatever support they can to the Mississippi runoff!
Don’t think they can do it in a 2-person runoff in Mississippi; Republicans rarely fall below 57 percent vote in that state. Espy probably has a ceiling of 45 percent, based on a heavy black vote (which is prob. 35 percent of the vote) plus what’s left of white liberals and Democrats. Trump needs to have a talk with McDaniel to convince him not to sit on his hands in the runoff out of pique.
