There are far too many FReepers who want every Republican to fall on their swords on every vote and every issue. If they had their way our side would have been extinct a long, long time ago.

Politics is the art of what's possible. The Bush's of the world gave far too much. There are one or two issues that I have been incredibly disappointed in Trump and his people on, but largely, he's gotten as much as could be possibly taken, realistically.

Kavanaugh's not perfect. None of them are. Time will tell is he's a Souter but as best as I can tell he's a solid and realistic pick for July 2018.

During the primary, I voted for Cruz. If you had told me then I’d be writing this now, I’d have called you a liar. But here goes:

Folks need to calm down and trust Trump. This may be the best he felt he could get confirmed. That IS a valid reason. Or it may be his sense of the guy was that he’s strongly principled and won’t ‘go wobbly’!

In any case, I’m content to trust Trump. Much rather trust him than trust the hordes of competing commentators who hyperventilate over everything.
