I don't trust Flake..There was a quick interview where

he said he is a conservative and he would like him (pretty sure he said him) on the Supreme Court..However, he wants a one week investigation first. So if the FBI does not find something major on Kavanaugh then Flake will vote yes. Even with Kavenaugh’s performance the other day..Even though he does not have the right demeanor. Flake is thinking about his future with the srepublican party. They will forgive him for the delay if he gives them a vote eventually.

No way he gets close to 90 votes. IF he is confirmed he'll get 52. Maybe Lochloosa Sep 2018 #4

to have gotten the investigation. That’s what happens when the party loses an election.

He’ll end up siding with the Republicans. Kav will be comfirmed this is all a show. We’re screwed.

It doesn’t matter whether he is trusted or no t, but trump will not be able to sqwash the FBI report, and while the report will not say guilt or innocence, if it shows he was untruthful, it is likely he won’t have the votes to confirm

I do agree with your speculation if that happens they will try to push another candidate before the midterms. The question is will the have enough time
