Impossible to read with the cutesy nicknames...
Hope you’re right. Voters need to send a message to the Democrats that we never want to go through another confirmation hearing like this one.
I love your analysis. I hope it comes to fruition. As a Minnesotan, my greatest desire is to see Doug Wardlow beat (heh-heh) Keith Ellison for the AG spot.
Good analysis, as always, LS. I’m more optimistic on the House election results.
The Rats are not happy and will continue to show their true, ugly colors. That is a good thing.

A few weeks ago when this charade began to unfold I predicted that Kavanaugh would be confirmed on October 7th. I might have done well in an over/under bet!
11 pickups in Senate and 12 flips in House these were my predictions before Kavanaugh and I stand by them. I don’t have time to go over them now but these will be fired by The Hispanic Shift. See you all Tuesday.
Good to see you posting....in both places
Get out the vote
Bishop in MI being up would be a big surprise and as much as I’d love that to be true doesn’t mesh with what I’m seeing - Slotkin is SATURATING the airwaves with ad after ad after ad. It’s constant and relentless. Someone with some very deep pockets (Soros?) is behind her bigly and she is HAMMERING Bishop’s record. Bishop for the most part hasn’t gotten ANY message whatsoever out. It’s like he doesn’t even exist.
I hope I’m wrong, but it’s hard for me to believe Bishop is “up a couple” in MI.
This doesn’t even factor in the past week’s Kav enraged women. I.e., good women (and men for that matter) who watched a good man defend his honor to the point of collective tears.
I also see a lot of poor folks of all races, who normally take the free bus rides, Cigs, and 40's for going to the voting booth, either too busy working in this booming economy or going into the booth and voting Republican.
Also, their tactics have united ALL the Republicans- Trumpers, never-Trumpers, RINOS, Squishes, Fredocons. After all, Brett Kavanaugh is an old Bushie (married to a lady who worked on President Bush's staff). Now we're united and we're going to squish the flagburning baby-killers like the little bugs they are.
We can wait until January, 2019 before we start fighting with the Bushies-sissy-fredocon wing of the Republican Party.
Who in hell would have thought FReepers would be singing the praises of Susan Collins one week ago?
I mean sure we’d like it if she voted yes, but after her speech, she’s been elevated to near sainthood. Just for doing logical analysis based on facts and presenting them in a coherent logical fashion. Isn’t that what Members of the Most Exclusive Club in the World are supposed to do every day?
But hey, I couldn’t have been more wrong about her, calling her a drama queen and wondering why Democrats aren’t afflicted by similiar squishy pseudo-republicans.
If - as we all fervently hope - the Dems fail to gain the House, the meltdown is going to be epic. No impeachment, no investigations, no Nancy-on-the-Throne. Just more defeat.
And they can thank Hillary and Obama for that.
Tet offensive for the Democrats? Time will tell......
Who is Yertle..?
Thanks for the analysis from my favorite FReeper!
Thanks
I agree. I think that Kavanaugh was the best chance. An absolute Boy Scout, brilliant in every way. If he couldn't be confirmed, no one could be confirmed.
Many think the RATs shouldn't have shot their wad on this nomination. Strategically it's high risk but smart.
The numbers were not on their side after the midterms. They will lose 5-7 seats. Now they would only have to turn two Senators or force Kavanaugh to back out. They have a most excellent slime machine. They have motivated help inside/outside government and a sense of moral entitlement.
It didn't work because Trump's spine is contagious. Lindsay Graham has learned the joy of ignoring one's critics. Yertle has seen it works. Grassley also. And Kavanaugh is a fighter.
