My guess is that the midterm election will probably not go well for the GOP if they botch this.
People I’ve talked to about this are livid.
People like the Judge a whole lot more than they like the GOP and Jeff Flake.
Keep in mind that The Stupid Party has been known to commit suicide prior to an election. Bush Senior’s mid terms were going well in 1990, so the press ginned up a bunch of fix the deficit stories and he violated his “no new taxes” pledge.
Republicans went into free fall and Bush himself got beat two years later. It’s the Uniparty for a reason.
I’ve heard the same from Republicans—men and women—in my neighborhood. They say what I’ve been saying: that if the left controls the Supreme Court, they’ll control the whole government.
They are angry, and the angriest are women. They use the B-word to describe Judge Kavanaugh’s accusers. They’re not stupid, either, and they know what will happen in the event of a Senate rejection of Kavanaugh.
All have said that they’ll avoid voting for Senators (some said members of Congress), if Kavanaugh is not appointed. I asked some of them what they’ll do, if he *is* appointed. All replied that they’ll vote for Republicans for the Senate, if he’s confirmed.
And yes, there’s a very close and most important senatorial election here in the midterm elections.
“My guess is that the midterm election will probably not go well for the GOP if they botch this.”
Um, is it going to go well for us?
You arent separate and beyond the effects.
I can attest to this, many people are livid that they may botch this appointment & are frustrated with the weak GOP. Many on twitter are saying they’re done & will not even bother to vote.
I have a part time job as a delivery person of sorts, and my customers (whom I do not know personally) have been VERY open to me about their pissoffidness over the Dems treatment of Kavanaugh! People are beyond livid!
