As if the initial vote wasn’t bad enough, we need to have a CBS News special on it. "60 Minutes" decided to do an in-depth segment on when Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) decided his true friend were on the Democratic side of the aisle. The idiocy of this move is beyond comprehension. Flake is heroic. He’s a traitor. He’s a disgrace to the Republican Party. He allowed Democrats to beat him into submission and prolong the left wing smear campaign against Brett Kavanaugh.

Flake said he would vote to advance the Kavanaugh nomination, but requested a weeklong delay for the FBI to investigate the three allegations of sexual misconduct that are lacking in evidence and witnesses. With Sens. Collins, Murkowski, and Manchin backing the motion, the White House was forced to request another FBI investigation. Nothing will be conclusive and Democrats will again cause for a delay. Jeff, they don’t want Kavanaugh on the Court. That’s the end game, along with using him to stoke the base for the 2018 midterms. If Democrats clinch a majority after Election Day it’s over. No more Trump appointees at least until 2020 if he’s able to win re-election. Liberals cannot allow abortion to be threatened; conservatives want a solid majority on the Court for the next generation. This is why it’s so nasty. Republican adherence to protocol, tradition, and this principle that we’re not enemies with Democrats has bitten us in the ass too many times. These aren’t good people. They’re trash. The only thing we share in common with these…people is that we use the same tax form. There is nothing we share with Democrats. Nothing. And that’s not a bad thing. The enemy must have distinctive marks in order for us to search and destroy them, or at least in theory—Republicans are still weak kneed in the practice of taking political scalps.
