"We’re going into this vote and we don’t have 50 right now."

They expect to lose the house. If he is not confirmed that might put the house back in play.
If he is confirmed so what, the senate is out of reach.

I don't believe them, even if they're saying something I want to hear. Maybe they're hoping we'll let our guard down.
