1. A leopard doesn't change spots.

2. Senate Judiciary Committee member Lindsey Graham walks through the events of the past several days and outlines his hopes for how the senate confirmation process will progress.

3. Unfortunately, the traditional high-brow republican approach -represented by the Lindsey Graham mindset- with any political controversy, is to frame the argument such that GOPe politicians cannot openly vote against the will of the electorate.

4. Senator Graham is optimistic the FBI report will *LEVERAGE* Senators Flake, Collins and Murkowski to support the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh against their expressed opposition.

5. West Virginia Democrat Senator Joe Manchin doesn’t have to do anything as long as the republicans are the opposition. This type of protection (racket) agreement is the UniParty way; it works in both directions. It has always been thus.

6. In the example of Jeff Flake, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, the GOPe strategy is to position Brett Kavanaugh, such that Flake, Murkowski and Collins cannot vote against the nomination. This is the Decepticon way; the way of the swamp.

7. There is a crescendo of frustration within the electorate, I call it “Cold Anger”, ready to be unleashed....

8. Unfortunately, the traditional republican approach -represented by Graham mindset- is to frame the argument such that GOPe politicians cannot vote against the will of the electorate.

9. Unfortunately, what most #MAGA voters fail to understand is: each of the aforementioned senators *want to vote against* the nominee; their self-interests are aligned with the DC UniParty in opposition, not in favor.

10. This endless quest to find ways to force the Decepticon politicians to vote with the will of the people is emotionally and mentally exhausting.

11. The UniParty goal is to keep pushing, keep delaying, until the gravity of the mid-term election gains an unbreakable grip on Kavanaugh.... and then, predictably, every scheming Decepticon politician has an excuse to use the elections as a reason not to vote on the nominee.

12. Likely it was Senator Graham who convinced POTUS into the "FBI investigation / VOTE delay approach" to attain leverage. Hopefully, they are correct and this will leverage the preferred outcome. With full acceptance of historic political reference, I’m not convinced.

13. Perhaps President Trump can leverage Flake, Murkowski and Collins to vote against what they really want to do.

14. Perhaps, yet again, we can eek out a win despite their political opposition.

15. Perhaps President Trump will eventually win the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh.

16. By playing the Machiavellian political games of the swamp, President Trump might, repeat might, gain Kavanaugh; however, the underlying system of corrupt and bastardized political processes remains untouched and unfazed.

17. Ultimately this approach benefits the Swamp. The corrupt Decepticon system just moves-on to the next Machiavellian deployment.

18. In the bigger picture, and again this is likely unpopular, perhaps we can eventually confront the swamp directly. Put sunlight on these elements that continue to hide amid our ranks. Force the damn vote. If it fails, we move to the next nominee and the mid-term election.

19. This is a constitutional republic working as designed.

20. Force them to vote either “for” or “against” the will of the people.

21. Make Jeff Flake, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and the UniParty in Washington DC fight us in sunlight. Fight us where everyone can see who they are. Fight us directly….

22. Enough with these insufferable schemes and plans....

23. At some point We The People need to end this decade-long fight strategy where we engage amid shadows and deceivers. Their preferred ground rules for this are based on Machiavellian political scheme, lies and fraud.

24. My gut political sense is that *We The People* are ready to fight, but we also want those who oppose us to see the purposeful glare in our eyes as we achieve victory and crush them with overwhelming force.

25. We need to draw out the deceivers and eliminate them from our ranks. As a well versed person pointed out recently:

….”How do you fight a [Decepticon] virus that continues to mutate and survive, no matter the treatment?”…

26. I would argue, we stop trying to *treat* the virus… and just get rid of it.
