I'm pretty surprised that McConnell didn't try stretching the confirmation until November. Republicans will have long forgotten about Kavanaugh by election day.

That's because McConnell is not looking for a partisan advantage, he is simply trying to fulfill his constitutional duty but unfortunately the obstructionist Democrats managed to delay the process, albeit to their own detriment.
