Well for now most of the RINOs are against the vote, not the nominee regardless of whoever that will be. If that's their stance, then let them abstain instead of voting no. Just let them count themselves out as long as the GOP still has enough yes votes to secure the result and deliver a new justice. That's what Murkovsky did on Kavanaugh anyway.
that's actually something I didn't think about. So I may be completely ignorant to this matter, but are you saying that if some senators abstain from voting all together, then the number needed to vote yes in order to pass also is lessened? In other words, as long as it's a majority of any side?
Yeah, Harry Reid abolished the 60 vote threshold. Now it only requires a simple majority to confirm a SCOTUS justice. Kavanaugh was confirmed by 50 votes if I remember that right. Two GOP senators abstained and one Dem joined the GOP to confirm him.
Mitt's a lot older than he looks. In fact, he was the oldest rookie senator in history. He doesn't come up for reelection again until he's 77. He runs as a Republican in pretty much the reddest state in the union. He has tons of money. He already ran for President and lost. It's not like he has a long political career in front of him anyway.
If Mitt acts like a little bitch at this crucial moment, he can kiss his political career good bye forever
I don't see how he hasn't already. At this point his cuckery is just getting more ridicule.
It wasn't going anywhere already tho. He's the Megyn Kelley of senators.
Hilarious
He'll get reelected again. All he needs to do is pander for a few months before his election
IF the senate start the vote for the new judge, everyone will see what Mitt Romney does and he will have nowhere to hide. His name will be everywhere
The Lindsey Graham plan.

Nice. Its looking good then. Plus Lindsay Graham just confirmed they have enough numbers to push the judge in. November is looking great.
