How funny would it be if Manchin changed his vote to "no" just to spite Slackjaw Jr.?
Would never happen in a million years - Slackjaw Jr. is actually correct in his opinion of Manchin - but that would be the mic drop of the century.
@dj_daem0n No, she's just posturing. She doesn't have to vote "present" for a friend, she's purposely making sure her no vote doesn't have any effect.
@dj_daem0n Alaska (I used to live there) has a sexual assault rate that is roughly double that of any state in the Lower 48. It is a *massive* problem there. Alaska is deep red, but it's not GOP red. It's more a "leave us the fuck alone, let us have all the guns, we don't bother with religion, live and let live" kinda red.
It would have been very tough on Murkowski to vote yes on Kavanaugh given the issues of her state. Make no mistake, she is just pandering.
@malice @dj_daem0n
Her reason for voting no seemed reasonable.
