GOP Seems to Get Kavanaugh Nomination Back on Track


September 19, 2018 at 7:19 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Playbook: “All of a sudden, out of seemingly nowhere, it seems like Republicans are gently steering Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination back on track.”

“Republicans and Democrats are at a stalemate. Senate Republicans offered Christine Blasey Ford the chance to testify publicly or privately, but her lawyer said that first the FBI should investigate the three-decade-old sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.”

“Republicans will insist they were reasonable, and Kavanaugh’s fate will be in the hands of Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Lisa Murkowski. The more time that goes by without her testifying, the more likely it is that Kavanaugh will be confirmed.”

Why post Republican talking points? I know they're "in an article". That's no excuse, really. PubliusEnigma Sep 2018 #7

To establish the context before the illegitimate KGOP republicans punch the ticket for casino hustling, draft-dodging Dirty Donny's hand-picked KGOP republican gambling-junkie #PukerPredatorPerjurer party boy.

That is all that we ask.

But unfortunately, there is no one on the horizon.
