        I feel like the 2000 election already illustrated that.

          I keep seeing articles about how the Dems are in such a difficult spot with Kavanaugh's confirmation vote. I don't get it. It all seems based on the assumption that there's some chance that one or more of the Republicans breaks ranks. Does anyone honestly believe that would happen? Even if it did and the Dems manage to whip all their vulnerable members this cycle into voting no, all they've accomplished is to delay the inevitable. Whatever small chance that exists that the Dems can retake the Senate pretty much disappears if all those red state Dems vote no.

            There's 3 Democrats that will vote to confirm. Indiana, North Dakota, and West Virginia Senators. That means all Democrats will suffer because the leadership didn't hold all their members together as a block.

              Is it really that big a deal to lose 53-46 instead of 50-49?

                Yes. It is. If he's only voted in completely partisan that will make a huge difference politically.

                  And while I'd doubt it would happen, in theory it could provide cover for Collins or Murkowski to vote no. That's even worse politically.

                    Bingo. They need to apply pressure not wuss out.

                      That would be devastating.

                        Also I really don't see how red state senators are gonna lose solely because they voted no on this or Gina Haspel's confirmation etc. It seems like all too often they try to placate the other side and just wind up losing anyhow.

                          That's the Democrats way. But as Joe said in the other thread, not placating to the Rural Voters is:

I do agree its worthwhile to tie him down on the special council but since that's through the Justice Dept and not an entity all on its own I'm not sure the legality is really in question.

                                Even Joe would've appreciated Sam Bee's well-balanced joke from Wednesday night's Full Frontal:

                                "Yep, Kennedy gave us the ol' 'Beltway Goodbye', where ya slip out during the party and take everyone's reproductive rights with you. Not to be confused with the 'Kennedy Goodbye', which is when you let a woman drown in a car..."
