Republicans Fear Political Fallout From Kavanaugh Turmoil (RINOs puddling the floor)

Whether or not Republicans ultimately confirm President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, some on the front lines of the GOP’s midterm battlefield fear the party may have already lost.

In the days after a divided nation watched Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser Christine Blasey Ford deliver conflicting stories about what happened when they were teenagers, Republican campaign operatives acknowledged this is not the fight they wanted six weeks before Election Day.

.
In swing state New Hampshire, former Republican Party chair Jennifer Horn said Republicans are “grossly underestimating the damage that would be done” at the ballot box in the short and long term should they confirm Kavanaugh.

Horn, a lifelong Republican and frequent Trump critic, described Ford as “the most credible person I have ever seen publicly talk about this.” One young friend of Horn’s family was so inspired by the testimony that she revealed her own painful experience with sexual assault on social media for the first time Thursday.

“Republicans have to ask themselves if they’re willing not only to sell the soul of the party, but sell their own souls to get this particular conservative on the Supreme Court,” Horn said in an interview.

So typical from the RINOs. The only surprise is that one of them didn't suggest Merrick Garland should replace Judge K.

AP puts out these garbage stories all the time, always about Republicans.

GOP fears repealing Obamacare will doom them
GOP fears tax bill will doom them
GOP fears confirming Kavanaugh dooms them

Shut up.

Just like the Trump-Russia collusion, this too is totally made up and everything after that fabricated stories by the democRATs.

The spineless, emasculated RINOs brought any trouble on themselves for being spineless emasculates. They let the dummocraps call the tune time after time. They let the outright criminal Diane Feincrime control the proceedings while they sat there like dummies. Only Lindsey Graham showed any testicular fortitude.

-—New Hampshire, former Republican Party chair Jennifer Horn said Republicans are “grossly underestimating the damage that would be done” at the ballot box in the short and long term should they confirm Kavanaugh.-—

Another mental midget who cannot see through this charade some call a hearing.

Do you see what you’re saying Jenny? The Democrats can lie and cheat and produce false witnesses and obstruct and it’s all theater; a fraud. So we should deny this great and highly competent man his rightful place on the Bench because they put on a dog and pony show?

Another RINO with no conviction; no spine.
