Quote:The Democrats have not merely overplayed their hand in opposing the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, they have provoked a reaction that has serious consequences for the power struggle ahead. Most of them do not understand yet the gravity of their error because they still operate out of a rage that has its origin in the belief that Donald Trump’s presidential victory was somehow illegitimate, despite the lack of any evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia (and the growing evidence that the Clinton campaign colluded – via cutouts Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS – to recycle phony stories from Russian intelligence into FISA warrants).

That unfounded sense of illegitimacy is their security blanket, enabling them to contain their despair over losing their grasp on power to a foe unafraid to oppose them frontally, someone who fights back and wins, even when the weight of the media is fully on their side. In the past, very, very few Republicans had the guts to resist early polling that reflected 90% of media hewing to the Democrats’ party line. The Dems naturally assumed that Professor Ford’s emotional testimony, supported by MSM coverage that presented it as absolutely conclusive evidence of Kavanaugh’s depravity, would either cause him to withdraw to end the personal pain, or a handful of squishy GOP senators to abandon him.

Wait until November 6th...the bear has been poked.

The democratic strategy SHOULD have been for Trump to not be able to replace a third justice, likely Ginsburg. But because crying shutdown Schumer decided to act like a complete ass on this nomination, he now has to pray for two more years of life for Ginsburg. There was a shot that the democrats would have been able to block that with Collins and Murkowski.(Which is why Trump was likely holding on to Barrett for that time.) But it appears they are going to shove the Republican majority to at least 56-57 seats, and Trump will be able to get anyone through. (Especially since some in the GOP have grown a huge set after the democrat ****-show that awas the Kavanaugh hearings. )

As for replacing Ginsburg, I think Trump has only one more year to get that done because if pubs were to lose control of the senate with the midterms, no way would Trump get a chance to get a nominee through in his 4th year as president. They'd do everything possible to push it past the 2020 election.

Having said that, I don't think pubs lose control of the senate with the midterms.

Because republicans will vote for the appointment of constitutionalists the 2020 elections will be a landslide for Trump.

I forgot to add, none of this would have been possible without the dumbassery of Harry Reid and Obama.

And don’t forget Uncle Joe....and Hillary Clinton.

I am very excited about today. I am looking forward to watching the Kavanaugh vote in a short time. It is a great day for America.

RCP finally putting Cruz into the "lean Republican" category. This seat was never in doubt. The only question is whether Cruz wins by 5 or wins by 25.

House map was showing Democrats leading 205-189 with 41 tossups (all but two Republican seats). Its 205-198 today.

And we still haven't seen a single Soy Boy Comey, Lying Andy McCabe, and Cuck Ohr text message, nor the FISA warrant documents on Page unredacted.

Those are soon to be revealed.

Buckle up.

If democrats fail to take the house in this cycle, it will be one of the most stupid self-inflicted wounds ever in the mid terms. All they had to do was to sit down and shut up.

When you think about it, had they just shut up once Trump was elected instead of continuing to try to hamstring him with the Russian Collusion story and investigation, and all the other dirty tricks, his administration might have collapsed from the early chaos and a resulting lack of support from his base. Instead, most conservatives saw what was being done and have rallied to support him.

And as we saw in a tweet that was posted here by Kronke, someone said that the Never Trump conservatives have now gotten a good look at what the left is capable of with Kavanaugh: doing everything possible to destroy the life and family of a humble, qualified, hard-working public servant. They saw the left doing the same thing to Trump before him, but thought Trump deserved it. Many of them are now having second thoughts.

Thanks dims. You're your own worst enemy.

Yep, it really was that simple. Instead, all their hysterical nonsense since the election and ESPECIALLY their lunacy surrounding the SCOTUS nomination, has led folks such as myself that did not vote for Trump to support the man. THAT is their ultimate boomerang.

I say, keep it up!

Now they are declaring war on the Supreme Court. There's a point where the Democrats are dangerously close to sedition.

When Dems think they are going to win its insane to question legitimacy. When Dems lose, the first thing they do is attack legitimacy

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/bryan-de...would-work

Article is suggesting some Democrats have finally found some common sense and realize their sleaze on the Kavanaugh nomination is backfiring.

"...Alas. Polling data shows that while their tactics certainly riled up progressives, it equally angered conservatives. And, as ever, independents remain a wild card, gently breaking for the GOP as of today but tentative and dispassionate in their support.

Yet with no new message and no credible messengers, Democrats are stuck in finding fresh ways to reach these voters, many of whom are white and conservative leaning...."
