Obviously not, because they have a long ways to go to come up to that standard.

No freakin' way. You COULD have TRIED to make that argument before, but the far far right (and much of the right in general) has become openly racist and misogynist and has shown that the far right Evangelicals (there are actually liberal Evangelicals who don't fall into this) are full of crap to support such a criminal, lying, SINFUL President.

I hope they hire Jeff Probst to do the vote count and he pulls them out of the canister and then they show all the testimonials about the votes after during the credits

Then we could see even better who to vote for, and who to replace in November.

I find it hard to believe that you actually think that the right is openly racist and as a group, misogynists. Thats half the county, probably more if you include those that didn't vote. That would also include my wife. You have data behind those outrageous claims about at least half the population? Back it up, show me the data that supports those claims. This has nothing to do with the President, this is about the political hit job done to BK by the corrupt, hypocrites called the Democratic Party. Before any of this BS started, they said they would not vote for him. So this entire charade was orchestrated to move the goal posts so when (in their mind) they took control after the mid terms they could sink the nomination and plug their own candidate in. You have corroborating evidence that any of this said about BK is true? Present it. or don't.

You haven’t been paying attention. I don’t think something he did as a 17yr old should have ANY weight. What’s more compelling and telling is his PREPARED statement and partisan slamming of a political party when he’s hoping to be confirmed to SCOTUS...a non-partisan entity.

I think if McConnell knew that he needed Daines he'd have already rescheduled the Saturday vote. This morning's procedural vote will tell the tale. My hunch is that Murkowski has been a "yes" all along and has let McConnell know that privately.

Or he knows it is failing today...

flagpole ---> you still saying he will not be confirmed?

Flagpole never said such a thing.

At this point Flagpole doesn't know what he said.

Hey folks had to come back with this postscript. The phony Democratic Dr. Ford allegation conspiracy is really starting to be unveiled:

Kavanaugh shouldn’t be confirmed. JPS has come out against him and former SCOTUS judges are usually pretty quiet. National Council of Churches has come out against him.

Laughing at the idea that anybody is going to consider what the National Council of Churches wants or advocates.

Personally, I find that quite easy to see. Perhaps you have your head in the sand.

This has nothing to do with the President, this is about the political hit job done to BK by the corrupt, hypocrites called the Democratic Party.

Whoaaaaa... you blew your cover wide open.

Why don't you just come right out and say you hate women. Why do almost all Republicans have to be JERKS.

Depends on Collins. She will vote yes on cloture and we will know this afternoon what her vote tomorrow will be. She sounded shaken. Then again maybe she always sounds that way, I dunno.

You lied again, and had to come back with more lies. NO SURPRISE.

Liar, liar, pants on fire.....

This is much too fun to stay away. Just love to see you blowing up.

To all of you who said I didn't know anything, that I was just being partisan, now we have the American Bar Association calling for a halt to the voting. The GOP reportedly doesn't have the votes, and yesterday after the hearing, a bunch of Yale students who went to school with Kavanaugh all sent around messages saying he lied like a rug about his drinking.

He will not be confirmed as I said. I will do this part in lower case, but you still get the point:

i told you so.

And there it is, a Flagpolian Flop. Congrats, Clownpole.

Flake just now voted yes.

I'm interested to see what Murkowski decides.

That's bizarre, I have no idea what to make of it.

Klobuchart - No

Manchain - abstain

Murkowski - abstain

Many did not vote, perhaps waiting for the final vote.

Manchin - 'aye'
