It depends what kind of person he is.
He's got everything to loose if he doesn't.
A big problem with people on the right is a tendency to be easily frightened.
The pissed off man that walked down to give a speech is not one I'd expect to pull punches.
If he gets really angry and goes hard right, I wouldn't blame him.
Fair point.
Tim is wearing red and black confirmed antifa member
He didn't pull any in the speech.
One of the pundits put it eloquently
He did not want to have to be in a position to destroy Ford.

Such a blessed age.
Can you even count them all?
Manchin is the only Dem voting to confirm Kavanaugh so far?
I heard there's a couple others.
They won't vote for Kavanaugh if there is a chance he could get denied.
But they'll go along if he's going to pass.
Maybe they can cancel out Collins and Murkowski and Flake.
Because they're in Red states and trying not to look like an enemy of Trump.
They won't cancel Collins Murkoski or Flake.
The Dem Party would eviscerate their funding.
And that would only be the start.
Voting against Kavanaugh has to be worth at least 10% in the polls for these Dems up for re-election in red states.
The Dems have a great deal of control of their legislators due to the way the party is structured.
Yeah, but you lose the base *and* your money and you're in even more trouble.
The Dems might let it fly if they realize they've otherwise lost though.
So you're saying they'd basically have to switch parties if they vote for Kavanaugh.
Basically.
But it's far too late for that.
Manchin could've/should've switched a long time ago.
Bear in mind it's only another month or so before the election.
Yeah, most o WV lawmakers did a couple years ago.
Went from deep blue to deep red overnight.
Manchin seems to be the only WV politician who doesn't know that WV is redder than Utah.
Perhaps. But he is winning handidly.
Of course Manchin did just say he'd vote for Kavanaugh.
Who knows.
But if he breaks ranks and gets Kavanaugh confirmed, it would be huge.
It would've make any sense for WV to elect a Dem.
