Thank God. I saw Suzanne Collins just cucked out (not too surprising) and thought Lindsey Graham might be next, leading to a bunch of other RINO’s to follow.
She’s probably waiting to see if her vote actually matters.
No point in damaging her credibility as a liberal republican if we already have enough votes without her.
I think she will vote yes if and only if her vote is actually necessary for it to get done, otherwise she will vote no to keep her appeal as a liberal republican. After all she comes form a VERY liberal state, her very presence denies the Democrats a seat when they needed it most (Impeachment and Kavanaugh.)
The problem with that logic is that a "no" vote would completely tank her with the Republican constituency in Maine. It may be a lean blue state, but the Republican voters are just as as red-blooded as me or you. If she votes "no" on a floor vote, it will guarantee her a loss on election day.
We can lose three and still win. Shitt, Susan Collins and Murkowski.
I don't think Shitt knows he's playing with fire. There will be huge blowback on Mormons and the Mormon Church. I'm hearing some really ugly rumblings. If Shitt tries to fuck this up, I'm not going within a mile of a Mormon Temple for my own safety.
What are you hearing? Im no fan of LDS but I can’t imagine people are going to bring Romney’s faith into this unless he somehow says it was Mormonism that was guiding his decision to vote no.
He is chair of Senate Judiciary and was instrumental in getting Kavanaugh and a shit ton of other judges confirmed. Judges which will help cement Trump's agenda and legacy for the rest of many of our lifetimes.
Yes, there are many other things with which he can't be trusted. But he is not "all talk" on this one.
hes controlled uniparty. im in SC and i still have no idea how tf he won the primary. literally everyone i speak to voted for someone else. local talk radio had text and call in polls. 80% were voting for someone else....
I heard that's the problem. They (the uniparty /deep state) purposely run many republican challengers during the primaries so the votes are split and Lindsey wins with only a slight majority over the other candidates.
GOP should force him to resign or something. He has a magic ability to go on record and flip his position the next year like no other. He was the biggest trump hater, now he's the biggest trump lover. He said 'use my words against me' layed out this exact senerio with RBG, said he'd be against it and has already flip flopped. How can he be so stupid to say all this in front of a camera? He will be dem campaign bait for 10 years.
Lindsey is onboard with filling RBG seat.
For the new pedes, the meme is Lindsey Graham DGAF

I think she is most likely to abstain and state that she is present. That means she will stay out of the vote which does not really hurt us either.
How else will she get some attention? She's a nobody until this kind of shit comes up.
Just before.

Abstain vote is better than a "no" vote

This nomination is about 1 thing. Abortion.
The LDS church is not a fan of baby killing. That I can tell you.
Read her statement. should should should.
You are correct. He is nothing but a grandstanding attention whore. He is all talk and no action.
He is chair of Senate Judiciary and was instrumental in getting Kavanaugh and a shit ton of other judges confirmed. Judges which will help cement Trump's agenda and legacy for the rest of many of our lifetimes.

agree all the way. fuck that piece of shit. but if he helps us get a justice now, well, good. but still, fuck him.

Thanks. In case anyone wants to see it set to music there's this: https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1048636458226143233
I suspect Lindsey would be even more on board with having his own “seat” filled.
This one is my favorite.
