Collins has indicated that she also wants to hear from Mrs. Ford. If she abstains, he loses if no Dems crossover, but Collins and Murkowski would give Dems cover to vote no because the vote was rushed without full investigation.

...including of a sexual nature.

I wonder how persuasive those idiots think that's going to be, in terms of keeping her in line with the GOP?

It doesn't seem like he respects any "pushback from the moderates." They're all full of shit.

Trying to get Republicans to behave like reasonable human beings is like pulling fucking teeth! Now we just need one more--one more Republican to be decent and understanding. Not heroic, not super-human, just decent. Amazing how difficult that is.
