This should be fun to watch.

They have no chances.

It's a done deal and Schumer understands that no matter how
much they bitch, they can't afford to lose those Senate Seats
in states that Trump won. A lot of pressure is going to be
put on those dems. There are Dems now calling out those Dems
in Trump states.

Manchin has zero choice. He must vote for Trump's nominee.
Macaskill has little choice. The guy in Indiana. Nelson in
Florida is not on solid ground. Guy from Montana and Heidi
from North Dak are pretty much forced to support the nominee.

Thus Grandstanding Flake and/of Collins and the woman from
Alaska would be offset if they opt against The Donald's choice.

McCain won't be back in Washington to vote.

The Dems will carry the day for the GOP

The only hope is the five GOP senators refuse to play along. The dems need three of them.

When the ratification is approved, the dems will make it one of the two most important points to get rid of every GOP in Congress in these elections.

You mean the Senate. The House has nothing to do with a Supreme Court
Nomination.

The GOP picking up seats in the Senate is a given.

Puts Manchin in a tough spot. Tester's probably finished anyway. Imo the dems lost any chance to affect the court with Hillary. It may be a hill not worth dying over. The economy is poised for recession in 2020, and Trump's making that sooner rather than later. And we all know the nuclear option is no longer an option. Maybe take their chances on keeping the Breyer and Ginsburg seats and seeing if Thomas has ten years in him.

That's what make this so great.

Trump and the senate will replace Ginsburg too.

Then if Breyer would keel over.....victory complete.

Sotomeyer and Kagen could just stay home.

I think that was the point, Captain Obvious.

Ginsburg won't last two more years.

My guess is she is taking prozac as it is over Kennedy leaving.

Possibly. The dems though will push everthing into the election to reduce the hill they have to surmount in the next term.

yes. I'm just not sure forcing Manchin to die on this hill in 2018 is worth losing that seat for 2020-04. Tester's an interesting case. The gop was poised to make his refusal to go along with Ronnie Jackson a big deal, and it turns out Tester was right on that issue, and his record on veterans is impeccable. But Tester's no Trump fan, and the worm has not turned on the OrangeGerm.

This arument affects Manchin not at all. People can say it does, but they have no facts to support it.

I don't see how it cannot affect him. He's hinted as running as a Trump democrat. LOL
