Murkowski

[Equinox Moon]

Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski told reporters moments ago that she did not make up her mind to vote no on cloture for Kavanaugh’s nomination until she was literally walking in to the chamber this morning.

“I believe Brett Kavanaugh is a good man,” she said But he’s “not the right man for the court.”

1. I'll take a win where we can get it,

But damn! A good man?

[Fred Sanders]

2. We will take the WIN! Critique now is petty. Shower her with praise because others are watching

our reaction...three others I hear.

4. That saves her from a very large contribution to her opponent from me.

Thank you, Lisa.

3. Now we just need one more "No!" right?

That should be all.

Fuck Murkowski.... don't shower her with praise. She's still a fucking Reptilian. Just because she did the right thing once doesn't forgive her. But... we have to hit hard on the other two for tomorrow's vote.

God Damn it! I'm pissed that it passed. I thought there was a good chance it wouldn't.

5. Flake will ultimately be a no. And Manchin. Collins may be irrelevant but her voting Yes will

end her career.

Manchin will still win WV with a final final No, huge polling lead now, and the cover is voting Yes until the final vote....and he has R allies!

6. Note that Murkowski, Collins, and Flake,

are the reasons that the toxic kavenaught is not already on the Court, full steam ahead.

Pragmatic attitudes, seem to be sort of prerequisite for actually getting things done.
