Flake could have killed the nomination but didn't. It feels like he's making a November move but he's not running for re-election. The Republicans aren't quite as dumb as they come off. I suspect they already know the outcome of the FBI investigation and the confirmation vote. I predict the Dems won't even make their majority in the Senate as they seem to expect.

@Nerdsmith Flake has been hostile toward Trump in the past. About a year ago word was he was not running again because he is so low in the polls in his state.
I don't know if his hostility had anything to do with this one week investigation idea, but I am pretty sure it was not determined by elevator girl. I think it was a smart move, because it will squash the objections made by the Republicans who were borderline.
I sure hope you are right about the midterm Senate result. If the dems retake the Senate I have no hope for my own safety and no hope for our countries economy.

I didn't vote for Trump. (Not for Clinton either). I am embarrassed to say. The Dems have made me love that dude though. He plays them like the media for the fools they are. Trump 2020 for sure.
I really think Flake is towing the line. It was a move to confirm and silence the Dems ploys. Even the most ardent anti-Trump Republican adores his SCOTUS picks.
And that was a huge factor in his election. I don't think he'd have been elected without the conservative and religious belief that he'd pick judges like these.
