Prediction

[malaise]

Kavanaugh will withdraw overnight

[eleny]

1. I keep saying that but he just keeps sticking around!

I so hope you're right. I'll jump in and second your prediction!

[dchill]

26. Yeah. My wife is getting tired of me making that prediction too.

I think I'm right this time, though!

[NightWatcher]

2. I predict trump will dump him after the hearing via twitter.

Either way, I'm happy. Then we vote like hell and take the Congress.

[hlthe2b]

3. You might be right... My BP would appreciate it, but I'm not sure at this point that

Dr. Ford should not be heard (though she could always do a media interview)

[gopiscrap]

5. I agree

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. I hope you are right. n/t

[world wide wally]

6. Good chance you're right about that

Aww

[Hermit-The-Prog]

7. depends

No, that's not a reference to the wardrobe of Putin's Rump.

Kavanaugh withdrawal will depend on how much laughter TrumPutin associates with the (cough) fine fellow.

[malaise]

10. Don the Con's praise always leads to downfall

Hope he never praises you.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. i'm safe

Never caged a baby, assaulted a woman, nor bankrupted a casino. Donnie wouldn't like me.

(How do you bankrupt a casino?!?)

[malaise]

15. LOL

:rol:

[llmart]

8. You may be right.

I hope so. I'm sick of looking at his smug, prep school face.

[FM123]

9. I really really hope so!

I don't care what story he has to give - what a burden and hardship to his family blah blah blah.....just do it Brat!

[leftieNanner]

11. When he withdraws from this mess

I still think there should be a complete investigation of all of this, including the perjury and he should be booted from his current job.

[2naSalit]

12. Hope so...nt

[BumRushDaShow]

14. For some reason I am now thinking they might delay tomorrow's hearing

and then that gives the opening to withdraw.

Any withdrawal has to have a MASSIVE face-saving move to preface it because these allegations would threaten his current position on the D.C. Circuit.

[GoCubsGo]

16. I hope so, but not going to hold my breath.

The Greedy Old Perverts seem to be pretty dug in at this point.

[onenote]

17. Prediction

He won’t.

[djg21]

18. Not a chance.

He’s already a Federal Judge with a lifetime appointment. If he were to withdraw, he would raise questions about his veracity during the vetting process when he first was appointed to the bench and his fitness to continue as a federal judge. I don’t see him withdrawing.

[Pachamama]

19. I don't want him to withdraw - let him perjure himself and the truth be revealed

And let him be impeached

[djg21]

39. I doubt he would be impeached . . .

if confirmed, and it’s far too risky to take the chance. If he’s confirmed and appointed now, he would have more of a reason to be biased against the left and retaliate from the bench.

[Pachamama]

42. I didn't say he would be confirmed to SCOTUS

I mean impeached from the current Judge Position

[Hortensis]

27. I've heard experts speculate that McConnell is prepared to

have him fail a vote but wants the electorate to see them give that vote its best shot. They're very worried about turnout on November 6.

[djg21]

35. I don't buy it.

I also heard the theory that McConnell wants a vote in the hope that the Senate will fail to confirm Kavanaugh and a message will be sent to Trump. I think these theories are far too convoluted and tenuous to be true.

McConnell is driven by the desire to maintain power. He will be perceived as weak by the Republican base if Kavanaugh isn’t confirmed. At this point, I think it more likely that McConnell is trying behind the scenes to put off the vote so no Republican Senator will have to go on record as supporting Kavanaugh as more women (and men?) come out of the woodwork with stories about Kavanaugh’s history of disqualifying conduct and the nomination ultimately has to be withdrawn. McConnell is looking for a way to save face and protect the Republican majority. He will do anything he can to stay in power.

[Hortensis]

37. Okay. Agree McConnell will do anything to stay in power.

I've also heard it speculated that if he can ram Kavanaugh through now and worry about continuing fallout later, he will. Of course, that was, I think, 2?, 3? of 5 (so far) victims ago.

[kentuck]

20. maybe so?

At some point, he will see the inevitable.

[Kingofalldems]

21. He now needs to be prosecuted in Md., DC and now Rhode Island.

[malaise]

22. Yep

The end of this vile pig is nigh

[ooky]

32. Yea. Everything Trump touches dies.

[lpbk2713]

23. To spend more time with family. That's what they usually say.

But he's going to need a lot of time to explain his background to his young daughters.

[malaise]

24. Wife and daughters will head for her folk. By weekend

She must know if he's a drunk

[Mr. Ected]

25. Malaise, I wish I had your optimism

And please look me up and admonish me if Kavanaugh does, indeed, withdraw from consideration tonight...as he should do.

I think the Senate Republicans are going to plug their ears, close their eyes, hold their breath and vote in favor of Kavanaugh, and they'll do it as soon as Grassley is able to bring them to the floor.

I never trust that they will do the right thing, or the logical thing, or the politically sensible thing, and that includes placing a sexual predator perjurer on the highest Court of the land with a lifetime, virtually unimpeachable, appointment.

These are not Americans. These are sell-outs to the oligarchs of Russia, wishing to impose their kakocracy on us and never let us out of their grips. They are so close. They are so so close.

[malaise]

29. The system is way stronger than these goons

I believe that and hope That this imposter is out by morning.

[enid602]

33. Kav

If he is out, he’ll probably not have a job to go back to either. With his million dollar mortgage and zero net worth, his prospects don’t look good. I’m hoping that Bill Clinton will send him a cigar.

[malaise]

38. That would be freaking perfect

[Nevilledog]

40. *snicker*

[Floyd R. Turbo]

28. tRump is on the horn with him now!

[ADX]

30. There's no chance he's going to withdraw tonight...

...Even if he wanted to, the Repugs will talk him into standing fast and holding firm.

Get the popcorn ready, hearing starts at 9:00am Eastern...

[PJMcK]

31. Since last week, I've been saying he'll be gone by COB Thursday (n/t)

[MineralMan]

34. Good call, I think.

[StevieM]

36. Prediction. He won't.

And I think he has at least a 50/50 shot of being confirmed.

[malaise]

44. Well He's still there so I was wrong

Ah we'll.

[Danascot]

41. Actually I'd like to see him stay in the game

I have a hard time believing the GOP can confirm him now (though they've set the bar so low it's under ground, so they might).

As long as he stays in they can't bring up someone else who might have a better chance of being confirmed plus the optics for the GOP are just horrendous and they're bleeding support from women and moderates like it's a severed artery.

[malaise]

43. Well I'd love to see and hear Dr Christine Blasey Ford

but I'd like to see this monster humiliated even more.

[cwydro]

45. A number of posters here have predicted his withdrawal by today.

Still hasn’t happened.

I think he’s owned by very powerful people.

[malaise]

46. I don't see how he reaches the SC but

What do I know
