Does ANYONE at DU think that there will be one GOP Senator with the integrity....

[guillaumeb]

to defy Mitch McConnell and Trump and vote against Kavanaugh?

My own view is that every GOP Senator, by supporting Trump, is just as much of a misogynistic racist and traitor as is Trump. In my view, they, meaning GOP politicians, are all money seeking, soulless, political whores.

But I am willing to be proven wrong in this.

1. No.

[Meadowoak]

2. Not a one!

[Anon-C]

3. Not a chance.

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. absolutely not

[Alpeduez21]

5. I don't think there's a repuke in the country

who is decent or good They have reprehensible values. I have nothing but loathing and contempt for all conservatives.

6. Aside from Murkowski? No.

And not even Murkowski is actually opposed to Kavanaugh. Her constituents seem to be, however.

[guillaumeb]

7. When were GOP Senators interested in representing their constituents?

Except for their contributors.

[Garrett78]

10. Murkowski is afraid she would lose her next election. Collins should be even more afraid.

But Collins may just retire in 2 years.

[guillaumeb]

12. Retire to become a highly paid lobbyist?

Perhaps.

[FBaggins]

16. I doubt she's too worried

IF she wants to stay (and that's far from a given), she hasn't had a close election in some time. Brennan in '96 (when she first took the seat) was the only one to come within double digits of her. She more than doubled the votes of her last opponent (2014).

[Garrett78]

18. I think she'll have a much tougher time in 2020 if she runs again.

Murkowski will face another primary challenge but she doesn't have to worry about that until 2022. Collins, though, will be in trouble 2 years from now. I frequently point out that memories and attention spans are short, but Collins has gone out of her way to put her position at risk. I suspect she'll retire.

8. Do you mean other than Mutkowski?

Or has he announced a change of mind and I haven't heard yet?

[guillaumeb]

9. I feel that there is not one GOP Senator with a conscience.

Or integrity.

[blueinredohio]

11. Nope

[musicblind]

13. Other than Murkowski, no.

I would like to think that Murkowski could talk Flake, Collins, and Manchin out of it, but I know the die has been cast.

It's a shame.

But all it does is motivate me to canvas, call, and work even harder in the midterms.

What comes around, goes around.

[denbot]

14. No

[democratisphere]

15. All GOP senators are cracked out of the same deplorable mold.

There is no integity in the GOP.

[customerserviceguy]

17. Not gonna happen

Flake was the only one I thought might be possible to sway, but clearly, the "one week FBI investigation" was just a cover for his true sentiments.

However, Murkowski may vote against Kav, but she will be the only one. I expect that she will have to win a write-in campaign the next time she's up for re-election if she wants to stay in the Senate.
