But your statement only named 2 senators "Collins also won’t vote this year. I doubt Romney will. That’s all the Dems need to stop the nomination." Thus my comment to explain your math.
And Pence does indeed cast the tie-breaker in the Senate.
Let's say that Amy Barrett gets nominated. Barrett is deeply Catholic and therefore deeply anti-abortion. Romney is deeply Mormon and therefore deeply anti-abortion. Probably the two most solidly anti-abortion religions in existence that I'm aware of. If it's Barrett or somebody similar, Romney will vote to confirm guaranteed. Romney might hate Trump's guts, but he's still capable of rational thought and he still believes in what he believes in.
As soon as possible Trump should nominate Amy Conet Barrett. She has the resume, she's conservative enough, and being a woman she'd make what will be a massively contentious confirmation process significantly easier. It would give Collins and Murkouski cover to vote for the confirmation. It also may drag some undecided women off the fence for Trump in the election.
I see no way Collins or Murkowski vote for the nominee. But I see Romney voting for the nominee. Note, even if Romney votes against the nominee, I don't see any other GOP Senators breaking rank on this issue. There really aren't any "moderate" GOP Senators outside of that bunch.
That was absolutely the right off the cuff reaction. Someone looking for me saying something good about Trump? Here you go. Thank you Trump for those kind words.
Note, if leftist anarchists start with their riots over a nomination to replace Ginsburg, they must really want President Trump to be reelected and to be able to replace even more liberal Supreme Court justices
