Moderate Republicans remain undecided on Kavanaugh after hearing

Senate Republican moderates remain undecided on how to vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after nearly eight hours of testimony before the Judiciary Committee, according to Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), a swing Democrat vote who met with Republicans Thursday evening.

Manchin huddled with three of the undecided Republican votes, Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Jeff Flake (Ariz.), in a Capitol hideaway office before the entire GOP conference met to discuss how to proceed on the controversial nominee.

Manchin said it did not appear that Collins, Murkowski or Flake had decided how to vote on Kavanaugh, who vigorously denied allegations that he attempted to sexually assault Christine Blasey Ford when they were both in high school.

“Everyone’s trying to get some answers to a few things and we’ll go from there,” Manchin said after meeting with his GOP colleagues. “We’ve talked and we’re still talking. There’s no decisions made on anything, I can assure you of that.

Joe Manchin = DINO

They're about as "undecided" as a hungry python looking at a plump, tasty guinea pig.

they always do

the only up-side is it leaves room for Manchin and Heitkamp to vote for rape judge and have a better chance of holding their seats. and that's not much of an up-side.

do you want what's behind curtain 2, or the box in front of you?

All these asshole care about is their damn careers. Not one gives one flip about any voters, they need to retire. Women are so tired of this crap.

Traitor women, republicans are lizard people. Democratic men who see women as second class citizens and liars are worthless.
