2. Oh, I disagree as well.

I saw an interview with him - they showed clips on MSNBC - where he was still "flip flopping" on the Kavanaugh issue. If he really was sticking his neck out there, really believed he had nothing to lose and really was taking the side of his friend Chris Coons, he would have unequivocally taken the stance that is obvious to everyone else without an agenda - that Brett Kavanaugh is off the rails and unfit for any kind of important office, let alone one that requires impartiality, a decent temperament - and actually being "sober as a judge!"

3. CNN International is showing

Jake Tapper's "The Lead" every night now. I am so happy to watch it. I trust him but I wished he would stop having former Sen Santorum on the panel. I can't stand that guy.

4. Gusty would have been voting no in committee. Fuck Flake!

If he had any guts or morals he would have not voted him out of committee. Doing that and then asking for a delay is grandstanding so he can say he "tried" later after Kavanaugh is confirmed.
