The Repugs have the numbers.

That's why I refused to allow myself to become emotionally invested in the outcome. That doesn't mean I'm not sad.


Conservatism is racism and sexism plus a refusal to take care of the common needs. The midterms are coming . That's mu focus and it should be yours too. Let's vote them out.

1. Did someone say they have the votes?

[FBaggins]

2. Based on what?

I’ve expected this all along... but have you seen some report that Collins/Flake are ready to vote?

[NewsCenter28]

7. I read either here or on DKOS

That Flake all but telegraphed he’s a definite yes with his questioning of Kavanaugh.

10. I didn't realize that it went that badly

I only heard 20 min of her testimony, but I thought she did very well. The posts I saw here during the day implied that she knocked it out of the park and that he was quite weak... but I see that the betting markets swung heavily toward him over the course of his testimony. PredictIt went from essentially 50/50 (and better than that during her testimony) to 3-1 odds in his favor.

8. Murkowski is your best bet

Flake did a mea culpa just now during the hearing. Collins is "very concerned". Hopeless.

3. I don't think the floor vote yet.

Could be surprised about the committee vote as well.

4. I knew it all along. This played out exactly like the Anita Hill sham did.

5. amen

6. I feel sort of gutted. This is personal to me because of a personal experience and I just feel like

all of this was for nothing. They will give lip service to believing her but then vote him through. How can you vote him through and claim to believe her? It hurts.

9. It hurts a lot, just like it did with Clarence Thomas.

But as bad as Thomas was he was just s gross sexual harasser, not a rapist.
