For the last 48 hours I've been saying that the post-Thursday polls have almost certainly been an absolute disaster for the Democrats.
They want this confirmation vote done quickly -- in a bad way.
McConnell and Grassley have been masterful in the way they let this play out. Think of two things in particular:
1. The treatment of Kavanaugh by the Democrats has managed to accomplish something I didn't think would have been possible just a few months ago: It pissed off both the GOP establishment and the Trump "Deplorables."
2. The Democrats have managed to turn Kavanaugh into a VICTIM in this charade.
President Trump is in West Virginia to kick off the Republican Midterm Election Strategy ... which is basically just to drape those far-left mutants in the Democrat Party around the necks of every Democrat Senator running in a state Trump won in 2016.
My understanding is that there are also Democrats who are furious over what is being done to this man.
Don’t know how many in total, but there are some out there.
