The republicans may have made the largest impact in recent politics. They stood up to the DNC and media temper-tantrum. Before the Kavanaugh process it was not known if the republicans would take the heat of a full tantrum. But with the help of Graham, Trump, Kavanaugh himself and Collins, the republicans stood strong in the middle of the storm, losing just one vote, and picking up one.
I am not sure if this will make the democrats think twice about throwing another hissy fit. But some on the left, and this includes the media, will remember that Trump is looking like a knight coming home victorious after battle. While democrats are looking like Lindsey Logan getting slapped down in a court room. This time the judge is public opinion.
When Buzzy finally says mo mas, Trump should leak that he is seriously considering Garland for SCOTUS. Then he should choose Barrett because of white male privilege.
That would fry the rats gizzards.
