I have had issues with her in the past, but I think waiting for the additional answers gives the impression that she is giving thought to her decision
If she decides no, she can at least say she gave him a full vetting before she decided

Tell Claire to vote NO on Kavanaugh. He doesn’t have the credentials for SC. Heck, he doesn’t have the credentials for the job he has now.
I’ve voted for her supported her for years. NOW she needs to vote NO on this fool for me!!

organized crime. There's no other way to define them.

...who are impatient. It's the spectrum of Democrats horrified by the new normal that Kavanugh will make into settled law.

There is no way McCaskill can win without St. Louis turning out. So there is no way she can vote to confirm this guy. Picking up republican voters will not help her if she let's down her base.

who will not turn out for her.

A race we really need to have her win. If we don't peel off any GOP votes for Kavanaugh, then it won't matter how she votes.

Republicans are not going to vote for McCaskill because she voted for Kavanaugh. She's making a big mistake here.

Remember, it's not just Republicans v. Democrats; about 1/3 of the electorate doesn't claim to identify with either party.

That's wishful thinking. You have to turn out the base in order to win.

There's a solid third of the electorate that doesn't identify with either party.

for some reason I don't think she is going to break ranks with the party and vote for this guy.

The ones to worry about are Donnelly and Manchin.

Manchin will do whatever he is going to do mostly because he believes in it. He's put distance between himself and his opponent. He is well-liked by the majority of people in West Virginia. As friends of mine from WVa have said, "If he were a Republican, he'd hold a 50 point lead right now, instead of a 10."
Donnelly is unpredictable and he doesn't have the numbers that Manchin has. He panders

As to McCaskill, I think waiting is probably a better thing politically. She can lay claim to having done due diligence when she votes no. She needs St Louis to come out strong. Voting for this guy thinking it will get her Republican votes is a fool's errand. I think she knows that

what they do will be dependent on what the usual suspect GOPers (Collins, Murkowski) do and if those two go along, then Kavanaugh is in, and those moderate (D)s will have cover if they support the appointment too because their votes wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Of course some of exiting loudmouths like Flake or Corker or even someone as innocuous like Heller, who may lose his own seat this cycle, could vote "no" as a parting shot... But they have proven time and time and time again that they will support every draconian appointment, policy, and GOP-crafted bill that gets handed to them.

It's that old cliche about "Democrats falling in love and Republicans falling in line".

Let's start with repeated lying to the Senate while testifying under oath. That is immediately disqualifying regardless of his positions on any other issue.

He may well be corrupt as evidenced by his ability to pay down between 60-200k of baseball ticket debt on his modest salaries.

He was involved in the very worst antics of the Bush WH including the decision to torture prisoners.

And those don't even include his far outside even the mainstream conservatism views.

ever ask him about that debt and how he managed to pay it off, not that he would tell the truth. You mentioned repeatedly lying. How about the fact he pretty much didn’t answer the questions that Democratic Senators asked him. He danced all around the questions and never really answered many of them.

Even more so than Trump, Kavanaugh could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get confirmed. He will get every Republican vote no matter what is uncovered. This is the one nominee the Ricketts Family (huge Republican donors and devout Catholics) really want on the court because it opens the window to overturning Roe and Griswold (and possibly Brown). Don't hold your breath for Collins or Murkowski.

making it 50-50 with Pence the tie-breaker. You'd need one more R to vote either no or present. It's why I don't understand why Dems, or at the DSCC, aren't covering NV media with ads pressuring Heller.

It'll be giving putin and the russian mafia a license to use trump to do and get away with anything they want to with no regard for any laws, or rules, or boundaries, and will invite even greater disasters for this country , and others, and for the American people where corruption runs wild unchecked out of OUR White House. What do they have to think about now? Every Senator who does vote for him will regret what they've done, and not just getting forced from office , but forever in their lives.

but there could be no bigger betrayal of Democratic Party principles. Any Dem Senator that votes for Kavanaugh should be reviled, shunned and expunged from the Party.
