They have nothing else they can do, other than give up, and that’s not going to happen.

Oh, they'll have their rent-a-mob protesters scream the C word at her and disrupt the hearings. You may have Dem Senators bringing her religion into it.

BUT THE SMEARS ARE OVER. GOING FORWARD, NO REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR SCOTUS IS GOING TO GET SMEARED WITH FALSE ALLEGATIONS, ESPECIALLY UNDER TRUMP. BANK ON IT.

Which Democrat candidate anywhere in the United States had the courage to speak out against the vile character assassination of a decent man. Anyone? They colluded and must be held accountable by fair minded voters. They have no moral right to power over anyone.

Disagree. The Left *will* continue to use this tactic even though it’s now old and stale and everyone sees through it right up until the point where several of theirs are taken out by the tactic. Then, and only then, will they stop. Notice how fast #metoo died once Liberal icons like Weinstein started being taken out by it.

We have not even begun to see the end of this smear tactic. They will even double down and get more sophisticated next time.

Well planned, and brilliantly executed.

However, do not for one moment let your guard down.

The left has their own deep thinkers, and they will regroup and come on with a vengeance.

They never accept defeat.

The amusing thing about the Rats is that they ALWAYS overreach and then blow themselves up. It’s really is fun to watch.

For those that were not around in the 1980's, President Ronald Wilson Reagan put forth a proposal which was passed by the Rat controlled People's House easily on cutting income tax rates for all Americans!

The proposal by the People's House passed easily and started one of the strongest Bull Markets ever in my book.

President Donald J. Trump has given us another strong Bull Market since his proposals passed both the Senate and the People's House without one single Rat vote in both the House and the Senate.

Think about that little tidbit of information.

The Rats threw overboard basic principles of fair play, due process and the presumption of innocence to win an election.

That’s not America and these people shouldn’t be trusted with power, period. What they did to Kavanaugh, they could do to anyone.

The American people need to say no to them and to their unAmerican, out of the mainstream philosophy. We’re a decent country - and we don’t destroy innocent people to win an election.

We need to make sure the Rats pay for what they did.

That doesn’t mean they’ll succeed or that we won’t be ready.

Democrats failed to realize the obvious... that all women have dads, brothers, husbands, and/or sons who could be the next males targeted with unsubstantiated accusations of sexual assault or harassment that could ruin their lives. The reckless pursuit of power can be blinding.

There is nowhere for them to go with it now. They didn’t learn from the time it didn’t work with Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill. Not even their phony polls could justify it.

With Barrett, they’ll try to portray her as a boozing nymphomaniac who is pro-life and had five abortions as a teenager. And her husband is a pedophile.

I don’t think the stupid Rats have learned anything from getting their @sses kicked today. They’re already locked and loaded for the next smear campaign.

Since when has that ever stopped them? They’re *still* playing the race card even though that thing melted down a decade ago.

There'll be no more Borkings or smears after this folks. The Left have completely burned up this card. Barrett, should she be nominated to replace RBG, will of course be opposed on judicial writings or legal grounds by the Democrats. But they won't bring up false allegations against her.

Only in the sense it will be worse than what happened to Bork, Thomas or BK.

They'll try the smear stuff again. People will forget about this nomination and the details.

The narrative around BK will be he's illegitimate....especially if he's the fifth vote on a critical issue.

Like I said in my first post, they an anti-male. They have already driven out white men but black, Asian and Hispanic men can see too it affects them as well.

Men no longer have a political home in the Democrat Party. Its showing men not only it doesn’t want them, it wil destroy them should they try to get ahead.

The Democrat Party, without realizing it, is signing its own death warrant.

The next nominee needs no research. Trump has his list. They can do it now. Get it done within 2 weeks and say “Whadda ya gonna do about it?”

Let them. It’s plainly turning people against them. The more they cheat to stave off their “losses”, the bigger their troubles get.

“who is pro-life and had five abortions as a teenager. And her husband is a pedophile.”

I think that will make the idiot left like Barrett more LOL

The Democrat Party is discovering its smear and destroy playbook is losing its shock value.

They have been reliant on it so long they have forgotten how to make a serious intellectual argument to the American people.

Liberalism has long been devoid of real ideas and the events of the past few months revealed it in spades.

As Rush Limbaugh used to say, in the arena of ideas, liberalism can’t win. Period.
