Kavanaugh will likely get confirmed but it will be due to the filthy and corrupt GOP, Dems have nothing to do with that.
Exactly.

Oh indeed. I'm sure Trump will be tweeting about it from his golden throne.

We all know it's just another and last desperate attempt to stop the confirmation. Dems only have so many cards they can play and they are quite desperate at his point. They did the same thing with Justice Thomas. When Kavanaugh is made Supreme Court Justice in a few days, I'll have a good laugh at the lefties here in this forum.
From what I been reading. That isn't the case. There are least 3-4 Democrats in republican states that are running for reelection. If they vote no, then their chances of winning reelections is reduced. If they vote yes, then those Democrats will lose face and influence with the Democratic party. This Kavanaugh nomination is a rather brilliant political maneuver. Those Democrats are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Here are the Senate Democrats up for election in states that Trump won in 2016, who will be under some pressure to vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh:
1. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.)
2. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.)
3. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.)
4. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.)
5. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.)
6. Jon Tester (D-Mont.)
7. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio)
8. Bob Casey (D-Pa.)
9. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.)
And also:
10. Doug Jones (D-Al.)(Up for election in 2020)
If they all vote to confirm, that will be 61 votes in favor and 39 opposed. At a bare minimum, Heitkamp, Manchin and Donelly will almost assuredly vote to confirm. I think a number of the others will also, but at this moment, it is likely that a number of them do not know for sure how they will vote themselves.
And this latest stunt is going to turn up the heat on these Democrat Senators like never before.
For one, even they guy who she claims “rescued” her says she made it up.

According to various sources the vote is scheduled for 9/20. We’ll see if that still holds true. There are calls to delay the vote but Grassley hasn’t said anything about a delay.

When Kavanaugh is confirmed, that will also be a hard, steel-toed boot kick to the goolies of the increasingly untrustworthy and off-the-rails metoo movement. And not a moment too soon.
It just takes 1 Republican vote to torpedo his confirmation. Every single Republican Senator, male and female, has to be on board for it to go through.

The vote by the Judiciary Committee is this coming Thursday, September 20. Debate and final vote by the full Senate will be the following week. The goal is to have Kavanaugh confirmed in time for the start of the new SCOTUS session on Monday, October 1, 2018.

It's not going to be delayed because the GOP is not going to allow this stunt by the Dems to be successful.
Now there are reports out that select information about this woman's political views and her activity was scrubbed prior to this release. Who does that ? Hmmm.

There is virtually nobody who doesn't see what is going on here. There are quite a few Democrat leftists who will happily lie and deny it. But they know, too.
