Any guess as to why collins wants a production?

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

At 3 pm I just dont get it.

1. She's showing John Kennedy how you do it.

[FSogol]

2. I found a film of it!

[irresistable]

3. she wants to explain her vote before it happens

[mobeau69]

4. Sort of indicates she will be a no.

[ewagner]

5. wellllll.....

not necessarily...could be to give cover for her "yes" vote as she would be a "pro-choicer" voting to end ROE V WADE.

[mobeau69]

7. Yeah, She's about the last one left to say no to a Profile in Courage

[OliverQ]

6. Nah, she'll be a yes.

[irresistable]

8. not really....voting for cloture is a sign of respect for Senate leadership..

to give a true up or down vote on the nomination.

What Murkowski did in voting NO was a sign of respect to survivors of sexual assault...she wasn't going to toy with them.

[scheming daemons]

9. it is to let Flake and Manchin know which way she is going...

...so they can prepare.

With her and Murkowski splitting.... Flake and Manchin will act in concert and both be NO or both be YES. Thus setting it at 51-49 either way.

There won't be a 50-50 with Pence.

10. Thumbs down drama?

Maybe she wants to recreate the buzz like McCain did when he voted no on the ACA repeal/replace?

11. To explain her Yes vote

And how the YES means she is still a moderate Republican and Kav will be a good non-partisan preppie on SCOTS for the next 30+ years.

I hope she is planning to retire, because she will not win reelection in 2020.

12. My hope that she thinks "yes" on cloture

will "soften" her no vote on him.
