Too true. I belonged to one hunt club where the guy that managed the dogs was adamant. Any dog that wouldn’t hunt got a 12 ga. To the back of the head. He wasn’t vicious about it but he was damned if he was going to feed a dog that wouldn’t hunt.

I vote regardless. Tired of MSM trying to suppress conservative votes.

We’d better. No matter what happens, a Democrat victory will mean impeachment.

I mean, we’d better show up and vote. No matter what happens, a Democrat victory will mean impeachment.

They are more committed than anyone thinks. They will get out and vote.

I say if it does, then we deserve what we get - we always seem to get pissed/depressed when things don’t go our way and far too many think the solution is to hand even more over to the Dems...

demoralize the base? HA! not in a pig’s eye.

Can you hear the people sing? Sing the songs of angry men
It’s the music of a people that will not bow down to Dems
Trump’s the leader of our hearts, and the beating of our drums
We will not bow down to Dems when tomorrow comes

MAGA

Steady on, Deplorables!

It seems their conclusion after wading through paragraphs of their “experts” rambling is — “Maybe, who knows?”

It depends on how many Republicans are intimidated. If only the obvious rinos vote against BK then I can’t see voters punishing the whole party and throwing the country away. Just get rid of the bad ones - Collins, Murkowski, Flake (when is he leaving?),Corker. And when is Ryan out of there? Sheesh. Get gone already.

A war has many battles. If you quit after the first loss, the war is lost.

One problem, though, is that some of our soldiers are quitters.

It’s not the Base so much as the Independents.

If they see a weak, spineless, and ineffective Repub party ... they might not bother voting or vote Dem.

If Kavanaugh is abandoned then so are the Repubs and then we will see endless investigations in to Trump and anyone associated with him 24/7.

I pray for this country to split into two soon after I move down south from this Excrement Hole known as New England.

When is he coming to TX? TCruz is not the only endangered Republican, also Attorney General Paxton and Lt. Gov. Patrick.

Nothing will keep me from voting for the lesser of two evils: weak-kneed RINOs (and some good conservatives) versus leftist, Antifa thugs (some in clever disguises) elected to Congress. Why make a bad situation worse by yielding more power to the Demorats?

I thought I would never say this, but I will not vote Republican. This is a deciding moment in history. Either confirm Cavanaugh, or lose Congress.

Not just their base, but the independents and crossovers..

If the GOP allows this character assasination to be successful, then there is no point in voting at all...

Because both parties are useless.

Reps are the only ones who can prevent Kavanaugh from being confirmed. If he is not, GOP turnout will be depressed.

With two Senators from each state, and 30 Red states in the 2016 Presidential, there should be a majority without those stupid witches, Collins and Murkowski.
