Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAre there 3 or 4 Republican Senators to vote No on Barrett? To Save ACA?
Just to save Affordable Care Act?...Do 3 or 4 care more about saving lives than saving Trump?
I wonder? Trump will be gone soon, so what the hell? Romney?
Anyone else care more about saving thousands of lives than saving Trump's nominee? What do you think?
Anyone else? Collins... I don't think so..
..but anyone else?
...Thousands of lives, tens of thousands of family incomes vs a Trump nominee?

(6,496 posts)Probably because they got enough votes already and don't need her. She thinks it will give her some points in her race... make her look independent minded. If they really needed her, she'd vote with the Republicans.

(3,492 posts)This is the holy grail theyve been after for fifty years. I cant see them giving it up in such an uncertain election season. The court is more important than the Presidency or any of their individual seats. They can always win those back again. Theyll never have a better chance than they do right now to ruin every progressive move since the new deal. Theyre going to push her through.

(3,245 posts)on record as saying they wouldn't support the nomination?
Aside from them, I don't see 2 more. One wouldn't do it since Pence would be the tie breker.

(29,204 posts)Murkowski, Collins, and Romney.
and when Romney said that he would support Barrett...
that was the end. I expect a straight party line vote... with possibly 1 or two Dems jumping the fence and voting away most of the progress of the last 50 years.

(38,427 posts)in 2006..if someone said that Obama would become President of the United States, did you think that was possible?...In 2014 if someone said Trump would also hold that office, would you have said that ispossible?.....Let me say it again....Yes, unlikely..........
.....but anything is possible

(19,264 posts)Merkowski "might" and if she does there is a good chance that will be offset by Mnuchin.
53-47. If Mnuchin remembers which party he belongs to then 52-48. You would need 3 more. That isn't happening. Everyone else will be by the party.

(4,190 posts)That any Republican has any sense of morals or common good. They don't, and they continue to prove it.
I sure hope if/when Joe wins he doesn't keep up that 'reach across the aisle' stuff he talks about while campaigning. We need to govern like they do.
