Well damn. If McConnell was smart he would tell Trump to cancel his nominee now and nominate someone else by next week. This gonna look bad for Republicans if/when they push him through.

Mitch has probably already tried that and Trump won't listen -- he doesn't wanna pull Kavanaugh. He probably views it as a loss, sign of weakness, or truly believes Kavanaugh would protect him if on the SCOTUS.

I think that politically this works in the D's favor since it could drag this process later into the fall and maybe even derail it completely (unlikely I know).

He can’t pull him. If he pulls him there isn’t enough time before the midterms to set up camp.

Maybe Mitch can speak to the Russians about a couple votes that need to be switched.

I had him pulling his nomination last week. :yeshrug:

As November approaches I’m getting nervous. And I’m never nervous about anything.

Kavanaugh was nominated less than 2 months ago. What’s to stop R’s from pulling Kavanaugh and rushing another Federalist Society approved judge in the lame duck? It’s not like Mitch respects senate decorum or norms.
