Kavanaugh Is Too Big to Fail

Jonathan Swan: “For the White House, it’s Brett Kavanaugh or bust. They have no Plan B and there’s not even discussion of one.”

Said one senior source: “He’s too big to fail now. Our base, our voters, our side, people are so mad. There’s nowhere to go. We’re gonna make them fucking vote. Manchin in West Virginia, in those red states. Joe Donnelly? He said he’s a no? Fine, we’ll see how that goes. There will be a vote on him… It will be a slugfest of a week.”

Said a White House source: “There’s no time before the election to put up a new person.”

“That’s just as well, because the small team working to confirm Kavanaugh has not been looking for a backup candidate, let alone vetting one.”
