So, are you going to love the judge, or list the judge?: I don’t know about anyone else, but it is really difficult to even listen to these confirmation hearings for Judge Neil Gorsuch. The questioning and posturing by the Democrats has become so transparently fake and scripted that it’s become like watching one of those “Love it or List it” shows on HGTV. You know, one of those shows that is supposed to be “reality”, but is painful to watch because every word anyone on the show says is so obviously written by someone else and recited in a very stilted manner by someone who is not an actor. When that person is a near-invalid like Patrick Leahy, who obviously needs help identifying which shoe goes on which foot in the morning, or a rank mental midget like Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, it becomes even more painful to watch. Can’t someone coach these people up?

Now, Donald Trump has escalated the “Eternal Campaign” by taking his own show on the road and engaging in really big rallies at various places throughout “red state” America, whipping up enormous enthusiasm in overflow crowds, and there is not even an election anywhere near the horizon. The Democrats are relatively helpless in the face of this strategy, because they cannot mount any effective countermeasures, and are spending themselves poor, wasting their pitifully small supply of moral capital as well.

This is kind of like Ronald Reagan pushing for “Star Wars” technology, which caused the Soviet Union to spend itself into bankruptcy and financial ruin, in their efforts to develop their own research.

You think this is bad just wait until Trump nominates a replacement for the next vacancy. All hell will break loose on the Democrat side of the aisle.
