      McConnell has no earthly idea if he would still have 51 votes for Kavanaugh on the other side of a hearing where Kavanaugh is credibly accused of assault. He is trying to bluff Dr. Blasey Ford out of testifying by acting to her like it's pointless.https://twitter.com/DavidMDrucker/status/1043151975372738562 …

      .@SenateMajLdr is the deliberate sort. This strikes me as him feeling confident about all 51 of his votes. => https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1043149899783696384 …

      This is possible. But it's not generally McConnell's style to speak for his members in advance.

      It's exactly what he did on blocking Garland. He said something authoritatively to create an aura of inevitability, then people just accepted it as true, and so it became true.

      This was a major exception to how he operates and it's why I concede you could be right and I could wrong, although I think this is slightly different because he's speaking as a vote-counter.

          I believe he has the vote whipped in a scenario where Blasey Ford didn't testify. If she comes, however, his whipping job begins anew. So he is trying to scare out of her of testifying so the situation reverts to the one he feels confident about.

          This is a viable theory.

          That's super high stakes for Mitch. I don't think he rolls those kind of dice if he doesn't have the votes. He's an awful human being regardless of the strategy.

          "He said something authoritatively to create an aura of inevitability, then people just accepted it as true, and so it became true." The projection is strong w/ Brian. Hillary taught him very well.

          He also said the same thing when the ACA repeal was happening. He said they had the votes and they were going to get this thing done. However, in the end he didn't have the votes. He's a good poker player, I think we need to call his bluff on this one.

          Since when is he a “vote-counter”? ACA repeal? NASA nominee? Bounds nomination? Natural gas CRA? Repeatedly he brings important things to the floor without the votes.
