      Any Republican who votes “No” on Kavanaugh is not a “potus aspirant.”https://twitter.com/jonallendc/status/1044306717385912321 …

      Seems like message to Republican senators who are not yet committed to voting for Kavanaugh that they will eventually have to choose and won't be able to sink the nomination by declining to give their support behind closed doors. Pits R leaders vs. swing-staters/potus aspirants. https://twitter.com/Phil_Mattingly/status/1044306115322933248 …

      Good point. But withdrawal means they don't have to vote. The problem for McConnell, Grassley and the White House is obvious: they don't have 50 votes right now, and it may be well below 50.

          The party as a whole will suffer much more from not voting than from Kavanugh’s losing a vote.

          I think I speak for the base when I say that we'd rather have Kavanaugh go down in a vote and we can have every RINO on the record than give them an out by withdrawing his nomination.

          Withdraw window closed once the 2nd accuser hit and Avenatti got in it. To withdraw now brings implicit guilt in it's wake. Has to go down fighting or get confirmed.

          Every Republican Senator will have to go on the record.

          Strong signals that after Ford hearing (which I doubt occurs), the nomination will be immediately discharged to full Senate, notwithstanding howls from Jud Comm Dems. Tough shit for them. Cocaine Mitch is livid. Full Sen votes next Tues

          And Mitch is going to keep these reprehensible Dems in session until about Halloween. They need to get home; we don’t. Only Cruz, Wicker, one or two others.

          They have the votes. The smears over the weekend actually helped Judge K. And I still doubt that Ford is gonna show.

          If you read Kavanaugh‘s letter, withdrawal is not an option. He’s refusing, thankfully, to cave to the Dem smear campaign. The R Senators damn well better respect BK’s fortitude to stand up to the Dem hate and get those 50 votes.

          Says who? That certainly doesn't align with the sentiment of their voters.
