My latest theory

RaceBannon

I scoured Fox news and saw nothing about this but hondo will call it a talking point. But anyway if the dems call for a vote it would seem to be a slam dunk to vote him gone and be done with him. I am sure they could get two rinos to go along. So why keep delaying?

The red state Senators up for re election are hearing about it and it isn't good news. They need to sit there and hope the smear makes the Administration cave without a vote

I've been right and I reckon I am right again

HoustonHusky

I agree and some background supporting:

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/25/red-state-democrats-kavanaugh-841400

Also think the Dems realized they may have fucked themselves in that their actions to date have pissed off a bunch of never-Trump conservatives and conservatives that probably wouldn't have come out for the midterms. I think they think their best bet now is to double down and try to get a few wobbly Republicans to cave, and then hope that pisses off the base enough at the Republican party itself that they don't go vote in force in Nov.

Well there you go

I could be wrong. But isn't the majority party the one who calls the vote? I'm pretty sure both sides don't want a vote right now or else it would have happened.

RaceBannon

The GOP has bent over backwards to give the accuser a chance to appear. It was all over the news. Now the GOP says the vote is Friday whether she shows or not

Low info honod

The democrats have called for delay after delay

You should just stop there.

All this 35 year old BS is to stop Trump. If they could prevent this appointment and win a seat or two we'll have no supreme court nominee during Trumps term. It's the resistance run by Soris, Obingo and company.

I've already stated that the Dems could lose big in this. If kavanaugh is booted and they run on the "referendum for supreme Court" they will probably lose. The supreme Court justices rile up conservatives more than liberals.

The longer it takes to have a vote the less time Trump has to name a replacement. Then, anybody named as a replacement will either be labeled a racist, rapist, thief, etc. This is all a tactic to delay until after the midterms.

I do not care if Kavanaw gets the nod or not. But, this made up bullshit story by Dems rubs me the wrong way. Trashing a guy and tarnishing him for life for nothing because you don't like his politics is over the line. The Dems who cooked this up have zero decency or humanity and should basically be drug behind a mule for a few miles.

If I was Trump I'd withdraw this nomination and put forward that much more conservative woman and let them try and tar and feather her. I think she might even be to the right of Scalia. It would be the perfect just desserts for these morons going along with the Feinstein frame an innocent man plan. Problem is, Murkowski and Collins the RINO cunts that they are would fuck all of that up.

No shit. Even if the plug was pulled today, no chance another justice is nominated and confirmed before the midterms. And that's my point. The tactic could backfire on Democrats.

And that hardball tactic itself is in response to McConnell not voting on Obama's nominee.

This is so going to backfire against the democrats. It will once again activate the portion of the base that was activated in 11/16. This will not be seen as tit for tat for McConnell's shenanigans. It will be sold and seen as deep state override of the people's will. Just this morning the memes were flying: "We the People Demand Justice Kavanaugh's appointment be Confirmed!"

I can't imagine being red in a red state and being pissed off at my senator for bungling this unless he were part of what is being called a lynching.

We shall see.

Do you really think if they had a vote today he'd get bumped? Who would the rinos be? I have no idea who's on the fence.

Another point I've made. And that decision worked out very well for Republicans. That was one reason we have Trump and a republican Congress.

There is a difference between mid term and presidential elections. Kagan was appointed 2 wks prior to a midterm under Obingo but that's Otay Spankey!

No they would have made shit up and smeared Garland

They didn't have to because they control the Senate. These are not the same thing at all

@Swaye is right except they need to nominate a Black woman. Leftist racism is always entertaining

Susan Collins and Murkyowski are usually mentioned. And Flake hates Trump's guts

Don't act like Democrats have a monopoly on smear campaigns.
