Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said he’ll do WHATEVER IT TAKES to keep Brett Kavanaugh from being confirmed as a SCOTUS judge.
But he has a liiiittle problem on his hands he didn’t seem to anticipate.
Not EVERY Democrat has gone all the way off the deep end… and one of them is LITERALLY telling Chuck he can kiss his 71-year-old A$$ when it comes to telling him how to vote on Trump’s nominee.
According to Daily Wire:
“Kavanaugh’s nomination is already a huge headache for the Senate minority leader. Not only is he under pressure from the left to tank the nominee, Schumer also has a half-dozen vulnerable members from red and purple states up for reelection this fall,” Politico reported. “To defeat Kavanaugh, Schumer has to keep all 49 of his members in tow and convince at least one moderate Republican to break ranks.”
And that’s ALREADY looking a whole heck of a lot harder for Schumer:
“I’ll be 71 years old in August, you’re going to whip me? Kiss my you know what,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said when asked if Schumer has power to influence how he chooses to vote in the confirmation, according to Politico.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
This isn’t the first time Manchin has broken from his party of lunatics.
It’s NOT TOO LATE TO #WALKAWAY, MACHIN! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!
The Democrats are facing a potential disaster this fall during the 2018 midterms as a recent poll suggested that Republicans could, in a best-case scenario, pick up nine seats in the Senate.
Vulnerable Democrat Senators facing re-election this fall include Sens. Joe Manchin (WV), Heidi Heitkamp (ND), Joe Donnelly (IN), Claire McCaskill (MO), Jon Tester (MT), Bill Nelson (FL), Bill Casey (PA), Sherrod Brown (OH), and Tim Kaine (VA).
Those Democrats will be stuck between a rock and a hard place this fall, being forced to choose risking losing reelection based on how they vote during the confirmation or being ostracized by their own party if they do not cave to Schumer.
EEEXCELLENT.
How’s that “Blue Wave” going, Dems?
