Listen to Bongino almost every day, love his passion, agree with alot of what he has to say

however....he does go out on a limb more often than he should and does make some bold predictions at times, not all of which come to fruition. His "sources" had him certain Dr PartyOn Garth would not testify, and of course she did.

If he would stick to commentary and less prognostication due to his sources, he'd be better off

point is, lately, I dont put a ton of stock into Bongino's predictions

Call him into McConnell’s office and then bring in Ashley Kavanaugh and let him explain why he’s voting no.

Yes. Four years from now.

In the meantime, she’s no longer on any committees that mean anything. Especially committees that might be important to Alaska.

She can also be stripped of her leadership position and her committee memberships reshuffled to minimize her seniority.


Turtle had her fast tracked for leadership, which I thought was a bad idea. Certainly won’t happen if she fricks the rest of the caucus over.

It's fine - if we win we get Bush dream appointee Brett Kavanaugh (hooray?)
If we "lose" we will benefit from the backlash and will hold the House (hooray!)

Count me among those hoping for a delay.

He can do that?


he can piss into the wind but it would get all over McConnell.

That is never happening.

This is the silliest notion ever posted on TD.

Nothing compares.

There is bigger chance that trump goes to sing sing (state prison in N.Y.) for tax fraud.

He does get a couple of things wrong here and there. But he fully admits it and comes clean.

But he also gets most of it right.

I like his prognostications. It makes the show more interesting.

However I understand the dangers of making predictions. The circumstances can easily change from the time you make a prediction to when the event occurs and you can be way off.

Good. Take the vote, get everyone on record, midterms get everyone who voted no replaced


Absolutely - for those GOP not on the ballot this time, withdraw their campaign funds, take away committee assignments and put them all on the committee to evaluate rural sewage facilities.

I remember when it "wasn't likely" that he'd be President in the first place.

However, President Trump is pushing McConnell to have the vote Friday regardless to put the senators on the record before mid-terms.

Bongino, whoever the hell he is, sounds like an attention whore. McConnell has been insisting on a vote this week long before any supposed meeting with Trump.

Apparently President Trump does not care. If Kavanaugh is voted down President Trump will renominate him after the mid-terms. 

The goal here is to get the Senators ON THE RECORD prior to the mid-terms. 
This is exactly what Lindsey Graham proposed last night on Hannity.

If the vote fails, renominate Kavanaugh and make this an election issue.

Seriously, how is it that only Trump either a.) has the balls to do this move and out the shite heads, and b.) is the only one (besides our new hero Lindsey) to know this is election capital.

He must think Washington is full of morons...

Trump holds a dozen rallies in the states with close Senates races, the polls then results will turn
