… agree to vote for the Democrat picked. Everyone. We need more than 50% as it's rigged, but we still have enough voters to win.

And, maybe, change the tone so the people can see... after listening to Susan Collins' speech, don't say, "My good friend..." anymore. Collins is not a friend to sex assault victims... unless they accuse a Democrat. Say it out loud. Collins thought Kavanaugh should get a promotion with a sham investigation; she thought Franken should resign with no investigation. That's the Republican way... SAY IT. Senators need to start pointing stuff out more...

Investigate Kavanaugh for perjury, if power is regained in the House of Representatives. Why is lying now acceptable for over-emotional Supreme Court nominees? Investigate Trump... Mueller will not be enough; after all, he is a Republican. Democrats need to investigate, for a change. STOP PLAYING FAIR... they don't!
