Manu Raju @mkraju
Heres a twist: Lindsey Graham suggests to @tedbarrettcnn that McConnell should consider delaying Kavanaugh vote if the three GOP senators have any follow-on thats reasonable. Weve waited this long. I want to do it right. We should have probably done this several weeks ago.

(11,856 posts)Time for Kavanagh to withdraw before the rest of the info about him becomes public. He should just try to hold on to his current job

(10,279 posts)sell another reason for a delay. DEMs should now start screaming for a real FBI investigation, instead of the sham Mitchy and Donny gave us.

(14 posts)I'm afraid it may be something that could threaten us. Here's the thing, recent polling is showing that Repub enthusiasm for the midterms is now matching Dems enthusiasm. Link here:

I think the bastards just want to keep the fight going on getting Kav confirmed and how the Dems are preventing it. They think this has been good for them, and, I fear, they may be right. I just hope we over-perform in November like we have in all the special elections this past year.

(11,088 posts)If they want a quick confirmation then nominate somebody else. It's that easy. But they dont want to so they are delaying it until the constitutents of the deciding senators are somehow put at ease over their vote. These are Republicams doing this, not democrats.

(45,021 posts)...with his heinous screed last night. Under that cloud, Graham and McConnell probably don't have the votes and hope time will help them sneak it through.
