"Don't worry, the GOP moderates will come to the rescue.Kavanaugh won't be confirmed." I turn on my TV and see Susan Collins in the well of the Senate explaining why she will be voting for him after all. I have burned so many times, I will only believe it when I see it. Republican elected officials in the Trump era all have the spine of Jellyfish (& if they don't, they are soon ex-Republican elected officials).
