    lol. Manchin waited until the R's had the votes to pass on the first call It has passed. 51-49.

      So as of now Murkowski is a no, Flake is a tentative yes and Collins will tell us at 3. Manchin needs to hold rank...

          I've got to believe Manchin goes whichever way Collins does. He's probably not going to supply a 50th vote, though I wish he'd go one step further an not supply a 51st vote either--force Pence to cast the tiebreaker if it comes to that.

              Question: What if Montana guy is at his daughter's wedding tomorrow and it's 50-49? Majority based on quorum or does VP/Prez of Senate cast the 51st?

                I agree with all of this.

                Why the hell is Collins even announcing if the vote is tomorrow no matter what? It isnt like if she says yes anything changes and it just means 24 hours more of people ripping her to shreds. Unless she is voting no and she is doing it to look like a hero I dont get it. Then again I dont get anything Republicans do anymore they have gone off the rails into crazy land.

                  I believe it go by way of the majority. That was part of the issue with McCain being sick...

                  VP I believe only casts votes at 50-50.

                    Courtesy to Manchin perhaps? So he doesn't have to wait until the eleventh hour to be told what his opinion is going to be.

                        They all know.

                        Tell us the punchline to that earlier joke already. Or is there some serious negotiating* going on right now.

                          Saying she's voting yes so the Montana Senator can get on his plane to his daughters wedding without McConnell and Trump harassing him to stay.

                              If Murkowski is a no, they'll need his vote even if Collins is a yes.

                              Edit: forgot about Manchin, he complicates things.

                                If there's 50 no's Mitch postpones the vote until Daines can come back, probably Sunday. I suppose Manchin could lie and tell R's he's a yes then vote no and retire before he's censured by the Senate and fired by voters, but that seems pretty unlikely. So seems to me if the vote gets confirmed for Saturday, D's don't have the votes.
