Denver Post: Cory Gardner still undecided.

5. Strength in numbers

The undecideds are all too weak and intimidated. Otherwise one would get together with the others and say, "Can't we do better than this? Why are we settling for Brett Kavanaugh?"

They could get together for a press conference and explain exactly that theme. The Republicans could assert they want and will vote for someone with similar priorities, but minus the temperament issues and questionable background. All of them could emphasize that the country will be much better off once the new justice is nominated and goes through the same process that Kavanaugh partially failed.

Republicans would be outraged at first but these matters move so quickly I doubt it would linger. But Democrats would have to understand the suicidal danger of immediately criticizing and arguing against the next nominee.
