Picking up the pieces after a contentious nomination battle, the Senate’s majority leader said Sunday that the chamber won’t be irreparably damaged by the wrenching debate over sexual misconduct that has swirled around new Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
While Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Kavanaugh’s confirmation was a shining moment for the GOP heading into next month’s pivotal elections, GOP Gov. John Kasich of Ohio predicted “a good year” for Democrats and said he wonders about “the soul of our country” in the long term after the tumultuous hearings.
McConnell, in two news show interviews, tried to distinguish between President Donald Trump’s nomination of Kavanaugh this year and his own decision not to have the GOP-run Senate consider President Barack Obama’s high court nominee, Merrick Garland, in 2016. McConnell called the current partisan divide a “low point,” but he blamed Democrats.

He’s running away from the Trump Train, he’s on the lam(b).
You know, you have to work really hard or be monumentally stupid to be as consistently wrong as Kasich is. How does he do it? It’s remarkable, really.
Is he a Bill Kristol understudy?
The Democrat in Republican Clothes, spoke, but who asked for him to give his opinions?
An acquaintance from Ohio said Kasich assaulted her at a party back in high school. However, she doesn’t remember any details. Guilty as accused!
Headline correction: Kasich: I hope the Democrats have a good year.
Captain Tone Deaf
Kaisich valdates the Peter Principle once again.
Kasich opens his mouth and once again reminds primary voters why they didn’t want him. Isn’t this clown like 1 for 38 in primaries for his career?
Kadich’s so stupid he thinks Americans want big govt. to control their lives. What a wackjob.
Dims (to Kasich): Come on in; the water’s fine.
Just register as a Democrat and make it official, John.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Kasich is always wrong, so its good news.
Kasich has become a complete idiot.
I am not sure he could win Ohio anymore.
Everybody I know in OH hates him.
Didn’t Kasich room with the MARRIED Congressman, who was mixed up with Chandra Levy?
Lots of sordid tales, about parties, and such, from those days.
Maybe drugs....or disease....have affected his thinking.
Whatever happened to this a-hole? He was once a rock-ribbed conservative. All of a sudden he goes to the dark side with Cain and McFlake.
