So Lets See If Any Senate Repugs Will Put Their Money Where Their Mouths Were.....

We heard a lot of talk over the last few days of McCain and returning our Congress to sanity and cooperation and bipartisanship.

A lot of Repugs echoed McCain's words. One in particular that really talked through his hat was Sen. Flake. He said all the right things and he's also in a position to do the right thing.

He could get a couple more of his Repug colleagues to vote against Kavanaugh for SCOTUS and prevent this criminal president from making a lifetime appointment to SCOTUS that is being made to protect Trump.

But I doubt that he will actually do that. Like in previous instances where Flake and a few other Repug Senators had a chance to stop Trump - it will be like all those other instances where they will circle the wagons around Trump and protect him.

We need to continue to put pressure on Flake, Corker, Collins, Murkowski - to do the right thing when the SCOTUS vote comes up.

And they're afraid of their trumpist constituents as well. We need to GOTV and put them out of their misery.

If they wanted a kleptocracy, they should have moved to Russia.
