I think so. The people who were deep blue will still be out there
carrying signs but I think they have scared off the middle, where all
of the wins come from if you can't hear the subway from your house.

Too many last month nut blue shenanigans. I wonder how much all these hearings cost the taxpayer? I imagine Nancy as well as Chuck ‘n Diane are about to vapor lock at any moment.


I'm sure the hearings cost a lot less than Trump's golf outings...and
from what I have read, he is a ****ty golfer who cheats. He's called
"Donald Mulligan."

If the democrats don't win anything back, they only have themselves to
blame for trying to use innuendo, fear and hysteria instead of issues
to beat the republicans.

"Trump cheats at golf" is certainly not going to drive any undecided
voters to Bill Nelson, nor will "Kavanaugh may have groped a girl when
was 17".



The Dems turned Kavanaugh’s nomination and confirmation into a battle
for the heart and soul of America’s women and independents. Last week's
hearings showed that Kavanaugh was a monster; Kavanaugh’s testimony
showed that he was the worst kind of monster. He was the second coming
of Trump: an entitled, angry, sexually predacious white man. The Dems in
the Senate stood up against that monster, and they showed which side was
on the side of justice. I don't know any Dems who thought Kavanaugh
might not be confirmed.

It showed the democrats tried to portray him as a monster, albeit 36
years ago but they couldn't actually corroborate Ford' "monster" story
or even demonstrate that it actually happened at all. I notice the
democrat leadership really started backing away towards the end,
leaving Ford swinging in the wind. He seemed to drink a lot on college
.... but that is very common.
The simple fact that nothing of substance has come up in the
intervening 30 years and even in college there didn't seem to be much
talk about drugs, it was a pretty thin beef.
The democrats would have been a lot better off sticking with the
decisions and dissenting opinions he has written (some are even scary
to me) Instead they were depending gossip that can't be proven to sour
people on his character, based on who he may have been as a kid.
It really adds to the Trump mantra that the democrats are on a series
of witch hunts, convicting people before they actually have any real
evidence.
So far Mueller has nothing on Trump, the Kavanaugh debacle was a
disaster for the senate democrats, congress in general is polling
worse than herpes and all of that may bite them in the ass next month.
They only have themselves to blame.
Down here, in spite of the west coast loony left pumping over a
hundred million dollars (some guess much more) into the Gillum and
Nelson campaigns, both are tossups against a couple of pretty weak GOP
challengers.
Again they are attacking Scott on something he did 20 years ago and
ignoring the things he has done as governor, good or bad. When a
politician has a political record and you are not attacking that, it
makes it look like he has been doing a pretty good job.
I think I could write better ads against Scott than the Hollywood,
Silicon Valley, Seattle money men who are running the ones I see.
(they are mostly soft money "issue" attack ads from super PACs)
