Have Red state democrats done the math?

If they vote yes they hope to keep the mouth-breathers

If they vote no they lose the women

How's that math work out?

So you're saying losing the votes of women wouldn't hurt her chances?. Seems to me that means that seat is already lost.

The rethugs won't vote for her regardless of how she votes on Kavenaugh. It makes her, and other red-state Dems, look weak if they vote yes.
