Kavanaugh May Be the Democrats Waterloo

[bodecea]

Overwhelming number of people have the same take away as I do.

This process has inflicted real damage to Judge Kavanaugh and Ms. Ford—enough to make any intelligent citizen wonder if it would ever be worth entering public service. But the most immediate casualty is likely to be the much-hyped November blue wave. If a vote for a Democratic majority in the Senate is a vote for the tactics of Sen. Feinstein, or for the boorish behavior of Sens. Blumenthal, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, then that vote may not materialize at all.

In the Missouri Senate race, Republican Josh Hawley has overtaken incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill, largely in reaction to the Kavanaugh hearings. In North Dakota, Republican Kevin Cramer has opened up a yawning lead over Sen. Heidi Heitkamp. The newest Quinnipiac and NPR/PBS NewsHour polls show that the Democratic generic-ballot advantage has halved and the party’s enthusiasm advantage has vanished.

Napoleon counted on offensive bluster at Waterloo to give him victory, and it failed. By amplifying the politicization of the judiciary, Democrats may have achieved a Waterloo—but not the one they imagined.

Frat Boy may certainly be someone's Waterloo.

Well the shit show they put on sure didn't help them.

Gotta laugh. A 36 year old supposed case with no proof. No witnesses and the two witnesses Ford provided weren't even at that party.

Not to many smarts among Senatorial Dems.

No court in the land would have even looked at that supposed case.

If the Ds lose sanctuary status due to Kavanaugh's vote the they lose much of their base.

Will Maddow have a breakdown on live TV like she did during the presidential election i wonder....

Well, everytime I watch her she's having a mental breakdown, she is great at, "lying by omission" of the real facts...
.

True, but that performance on election night may have been the most entertaining TV I've ever seen.

That's emmy-worthy shit right there....lol

Watch the Young Turks' coverage sometime.

THAT is infamous comedy material.

I cannot watch that anymore. I actually tried to watch it, but when you are informed, you find yourself rolling your eyes at them every 30 second and just change the channel.

They don't even try to present a balanced view.

Hawley's been ahead for over a month and so has Cramer.

the quest for truth and justice should trump procedural nitpicking
