This confirmation was supposed to be apocalyptic. Thats what I predicted.
This is where she was obviously wrong. I, on the other hand, have been predicting for weeks that this would be an uneventful confirmation process.
The GOP hasnt gotten any smarter or tougher in these battles. The difference between Kavanaugh and Barrett is that Barrett is a smart, harmless-seeming woman. The political optics of opposing her nomination in the weeks leading up to an election would be awful. Thats why the Democrats have made their opposition more about the process than about the nominee.
I doubt that the Dirty Dems and their Media artillery slime battalions have completely given up.
I get more hopeful as each day goes by.
