After jumping around Twitter all night, here’s my opinion. I don’t think the Dems honestly think they will block Cavanaugh, though it would be a bonus for them. I think the Dems think they are launching their 2018, and ultimately 2020 strategy. We all know they have absolutely NOTHING to run on. Now they think they do.
As I bounced around Twitter I repeatedly saw MANY “blue checkmark” Dems parroting the same phrase/message. The phrase is “credible accusation” and the message is that a “credibly accused” serial sexual abuser, is trying to put a “credibly accused” sexual abuser on the SCOTUS. This will result in a SCOTUS that includes TWO “credibly accused” sexual predators (Clarence Thomas).
Already women’s groups are gearing up to march on DC. They are trying to peel women votes off republicans. I know, this is nothing new, but the over-the-top coverage that is going to be on display by the MSM is going to try and frame this thing as irrefutable proof of a gender war.
In addition, this gives every msm outlet cover from any FISA revelations.
Bill Clinton was a "credibly accused" serial rapist.
Teddy Kennedy was a "credibly accused" murderer and philanderer.
Made no difference to these RATs.
Thanks for the recap. This could really backfire against them, and motivate the GOP voters.
That effing Flake now says he won’t vote for Kavanagh.
