It will be good to have a justice on the court with a chip on his shoulder against the progressive mess

Message 31818622 *“Should Brett Kavanaugh pull his name from SCOTUS nomination and save the Republican Party and Trump more potential embarrassment?”* He will, but not until the second or third week of October. The Republican Senate leadership has already decided to not approveKavanaugh to the Supreme Court, but they need this issue in order to motivate turnout for the November Midterms. You could see the change in their tactics late last week, after Ed Whelan’s orchestrated tweet excuses turned out to be a load of horse s#!t. The Senate leadership quickly went to Plan ‘B’, ditch Kavanaugh, but not until we can drag this out, blame the Democrats and ensure we keep the Senate in the mid terms. The story will be that the Democrats are dragging this out for political gain. The Republicans are expected to keep the Senate (barely), but lose the House in November. Anything that might motivate Democrats to vote could cost the Republicans the Senate, anything that can motivate Republicans to vote can keep the Republicans in charge. The Democrats will actually gain the most with no delay. If the Republicans took a vote last Friday it would like as if the Republicans had thrust Brett Kavanaugh down the throat of America without her consent. Voting for Kavanaugh too soon is a gift to the Democrats. The more rushed the process, the more evil and thwarted the Republicans look in the eyes of the public. A vote last Friday would have ensured massive voter turnout for Democrats in protest of Republicans ‘ignoring justice’. So the Republicans delayed and agreed to a limited investigation. Remember, the Republicans are in charge of all branches of government right now. They decide what happens, and when it happens. Democrats can only talk. Towards the end of this week Republicans will probably expand the investigation and ensure there are no limits. They’ll blame this on the incessant ‘hounding’ of the Democrats who are just dragging things out for political gain. ( Remember, Democrats will gain more the sooner the vote happens, Republicans will gain with delay. And remember that Democrats cannot delay anything, the Republicans control the Senate.) Sometime in the second or third week of October, Kavanaugh will ask to be withdrawn from the nomination. He will blame the Democrats and the hell they are putting him and his family through. It will be a vast left wing conspiracy made up of Democrats, liberal media, radical feminists, socialists, and probably Vince Foster’s ghost. Kavanaugh will withdraw as late as possible. Right before anything too damaging comes out of the investigation. The longer he can wait the better, but if too much bad stuff surfaces, he won’t be able to be portrayed as a victim, I’m guessing one or two weeks after the full investigation at most. He needs to be the ‘victim’ of the Democrats, politicians who are only motivated by the political gains they want to achieve. The timing of his withdrawal will be based on his ability to remain being cast as the victim, for a few more weeks. During all this the Republicans will wail and howl with holy and righteous indignation about the Democrats and their delay. their treatment of Judge Kavanaugh, their dragging of the Kavanaugh family through hell. Expect much gnashing of teeth and wailing. After he withdraws, there will be between two and three weeks before the elections. Republicans will beat the drums: “You must turn out the Republican vote and make Sure President Trump keeps the Senate Republican. If the Democrats take the Senate, they will turn the clock forward again and make the Supreme Court Justices all liberal socialists. Vote! Vote! Vote!” All those evangelicals who are disgusted by Trump, but held their noses and voted for him back in 2016 will need to vote for Republicans in the Senate in 2018. Trump promised them a pro-life justice in 2016, and he gave them Gorsuch. The evangelicals took their thirty pieces of silver and then went home and punished themselves ( Mortification of the flesh - Wikipedia ). If these evangelicals get a judge they like before the 2018 mid terms, they may not feel they have to go to the polls, because they already have what they want. If the seat is vacant, they can be motivated to vote. Delay favors the Republicans retaining the Senate, but they must blame the Democrats for the delay (even though the Republicans have complete control of all three branches of government and the Democrats have no ability to delay anything). The Republicans must also bluster a great deal, cry foul at how the Democrats are delaying everything for political gain, and weep over the terrible treatment of a good Christian man and his family. If the Republicans appoint Kavanaugh now, Democratic voters will be outraged and we’ll see a protest vote that will drive a ‘blue wave’. Remember that there is no rush. The Republicans can appoint a new Justice between November and January before the new Senate is seated. They do not have to rush. They just want to create a spectacle for the masses so they can motivate the vote in the mid terms. Even if they lose the Senate in November we’ll still get a conservative Justice appointed before January.
