It was a test of Republicans' spine - a test of whether they would break in the face of an unverifiable, unfalsifiable, uncorroborated allegation.
They are about to pass.
#ConfirmKavanaugh
He proved me wrong.
He showed his mettle.
Thank you, Senator.
And thanks to the Senator's staff as well - Mike Davis (@mrddmia) first and foremost.
No one has done more to improve their standing in the last year than Cocaine Mitch.
He went from bete noire to folk hero.
We have a true gangster running the Senate, and we should be grateful.
I was frustrated by your hesitation.
But you delivered a beautiful speech - that not only sealed the deal, but also did a lot to help persuade moderates and independents that persuading Kavanaugh was the right move.
He didn't. He stood by his man.
And we won.
You went through hell. Your family went through hell. You could have given up. You didn't.
You put on a tour-de-force at your hearing. You woke up the entire country and united the entire Republican party behind you.
Thank you.
