We can afford to lose 4 votes and still end up with the nomination thanks to a Mike Pence tie breaker. Even if she, Romney, and Murkowski vote no, we can still afford to lose 1 more vote and still get the judge appointed. Dems brought this upon themselves with the fake impeachment, Russia collusion, ripping up the state of the union, leaking all of his calls with foreign leaders, and not forcing RBG to retire in 2014 when Obama was still president and RBG was in her mid 80s with cancer. The Democrats played the game poorly and lost, now they will get to pay for it for a generation.

Thank god. Someone said to watch what Ben Sasse does, because he tends to buck the president on occasion.

We can only afford to lose 3 votes. GOP = 53, Democrats = 47. 3 vote with Democrats, then it's 50 to 50 & Pence can break the tie. If 4 switch sides, it's all over - we lose.

If Collins only abstains instead of voting no it helps a little
