[Alhena]

Apparently this will stop Republicans from getting any nominees out of committee in the lame duck period without Dem help:

1. Uh huh. Dude has proven he's big talker, never-a-doer

[Alhena]

2. Maybe, this is pretty definitive though

[standingtall]

3. Too late for that

Flake already enabled Trump by voting for all his supreme court justices including Kavanaugh.

4. I'll believe it when I see the first "No" vote. If he does go through with it, all Papa Turtle has

to do is wait until January to get the confirmation train rolling again. Hell, it's looking like the Judiciary Committee will even add one Republican in the new Congress.

It's a nice sentiment from Flake, but it won't matter.

5. Yeah right Flake! Nt

6. Who wants to start a pool for when he caves?

7. Not him again. He will fold like an accordion. He always does.

8. Yawn, whatevah, dude

What a standup guy

[OnDoutside]

10. Ditto.

[Zambero]

9. Why the delay in committing?

Perhaps seeing his seat flip to the Dem candidate was a wake-up call, in terms of what his constituents expect from their Senators.

11. Right.

And Susan Collins will express concern.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Jeffie,all talk and zero action.

No credibility zero nadda.

13. He lies!

Flake rarely follows through on anything, he's all show and no go. I wish this were true, but he's played Lucy to our Charlie Brown one too many times already.

14. BS

[SoCalDem]

15. Just pack up your office and go home, Jeff

If you really cared, you would have convinced Corker & McCain to switch to Independent (months ago) and caucus with the Dems..

THAT could have made a difference..

Flapping your trap and then voting party line is useless..

bye bye

16. No action. No traction.
