Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a key Dem swing vote, says this just now when I asked if she has seen any red flags on Brett Kavanaugh: “Not that I’ve seen so far ... But I’m still reviewing the record.”

I will personally knock door to door to make sure these Senators lose their seats if they vote for Kavanaugh, and I am a Democrat. We got enough problems in our party. We don't need Republicans pretending to be Democrats.
-
They lose, we lose the Senate. Don’t be stupid.
-
Then we must agree with people voting for Supreme court justice that's against our best interest for many generations to come, because they have a D by their name?
-
No. But trading in a Democrat who’s with us 70% the time for a Republican who is with us 0% of the time is not the right answer.
-
However, accepting a judge who can possibly affect our lives for many generations is perfectly okay?
-
I never said that. Every time we vote, we are making a choice. Our choice is rarely between 100% of what we want and 70% of what we want. In states like Indiana and North Dakota, our choice is between 70% and 0. And without those seats, we can’t win the Senate and stop Trump.
-
If we can win the Senate, then maybe if (God forbid) Ginsburg dies before 2021, we can prevent Trump from replacing her with another Kavanaugh.
-
And refusing to vote for a Democrat in a fit of pique makes it all the likelier that we won’t have that opportunity if and when it arises. We have to be strategic.

The pay off must be massive

Yup, this is fuckin insane. And it's why the R's keep ramming shit through, they stick together in their corruption, and just add corrupt Dems as needed. Just like the banking deregulation a couple months ago.

@SenDonnelly a Democrat cannot sell out America’s women! Kavanaugh is dangerous to our reproductive freedom, the environment, gun safety and providing a check on Trump. No additional votes come your way if you confirm, but but millions will stay home!#StopKavanaughThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I can't imagine why these Democrats think their chances for re-election are better if they confirm Kavanaugh. It's not like Republicans will cross and vote for them, and you can't tell me Independents are okay with with him. They're just taking Democratic support for granted.

Then he’s a Democrat in name only. These red state Dems are so scared of Trump’s base they are useless to the Democratic Party.

I am a constituent of
@SenDonnelly, and if he votes to confirm Kavanaugh, he loses my campaign donation AND my vote. Period. You don’t get to wear a D then confirm a religious whack job, nominated through some back door deal, who will overturn Roe! VOTE NO, JOE!! -
Hope you called his offices and let him know that.
-
Yes!!! I call/email/fax or snail mail every. single. day. Truly. Sometimes pre-stamped postcards I bought, and some days
@openletterbot. Some days I switch it up and call his office in my district, others I’ll call his office in DC. But they hear from me EVERY DAMN DAY!#RESIST
