maneuvering up her sleeve to that the republicans need to think about. >> there are a couple republicans who make the hearts soar however briefly of moderates and liberals. their names at least on my list germane to this conversation, collins, murkowski and flake. and you're hearing people ask, because their quotes have been all over the map, which collins, which murkowski, and which flake do you think will show up at the end of the day? >> as you say, brian, the hearts flutter in the hopes they will do the right thing, but most often they don't. and so we're going to have to see in this case. senator murkowski is the one most likely to opposite the kavanaugh nomination both because she's pro-choice, and because native american groups, which are important to her in alaska, have come out against kavanaugh because of his position on programs that benefit native americans. that kind of leaves collins and flake as key votes for mitch mcconnell. he said today they were going to plow through, and so maybe he has their votes in his pocket,
