John Fund: In Kavanaugh confirmation fight, will Dems be hit by a Brett boomerang in November?
Fox News Opion ^ | October 04, 2018 06:09 PM | By John Fund

Polls show a narrow plurality of Americans oppose the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Democrats hope that opposition helps them win back majorities in one or both chambers of Congress in the Nov. 6 midterm elections.

But intensity is what matters in politics. Voters in the key states that will determine party control of the House and Senate appear to have turned against the tactics Democrats have used to fan the allegations of sexual assault and other sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh.

The reason for the greater enthusiasm of GOP voters to turn out can be explained by widespread anger at the unfair and outrageous tactics of the left in trying to block Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation. By shooting so low against Kavanaugh, Democrats may have actually shot themselves in the foot.

As the Wall Street Journal editorialized Thursday: “Republicans have figured out that if the left can willfully, even gleefully, destroy a man as distinguished as Brett Kavanaugh, they can and will do it to any conservative who threatens their grip on power. ..Voters know this is about the left’s will to power by any means necessary.”

Of course, it would be ironic if the all-out assault against Brett Kavanaugh wound up helping Republicans solidify their control of the Senate, which in turn would make it easier for President Trump to fill yet another vacancy on the Supreme Court.

But politics is full of ironies. Democrats may discover they should have thought more carefully before they launched their scorched-earth offensive to keep Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court.

What makes you think Fund is better informed than the average Freeper? It has been my experience that many pundits like Fund simply don’t have all the facts.

I hate headlines that end with a question mark...it denotes that “I really don’t have any facts, or anything substantive to write about, so I’ll just throw out a question.”

It leads one to think maybe the article with definitively answer the “question”, but, they never do.

It’s an excuse to merely guess, and speculate. Usually filled with a bunch of “should’a, could’a, would’a”, and “maybe, might, and shoulds”.

All af that is true, but we do have a Bush spawn as land commissioner going hog wild with Imminent Domain.

If we are going to be stuck with a corrupt grifter in that office, we need to pass the hot potato to the democrats. Dump George P. In November.

Also, please clap.

Judge K will remember ALL of this. You think Clarence Thomas forgot after all these years how he was treated?? Payback time you leftard scumbags...

But unlike a RAT appointee, Justice Thomas or Kavanaugh will follow the Constitution in their decisions, instead of trying to change its meaning.

It's a boomerang alright but it is the Trump phenomenon, otherwise known as the boomerang effect. Over and over again when smart alecks take on Trump they get whacked in the back of the head with the boomerang. When will they ever learn? The Kavanaugh nomination is only the latest. The real force behind Trump is the work of Divine Providence which got him into the WH. The unbelievers, the unholy, evil ones will never understand or admit to it so they will only get more frustrated with every whack.
