The GOP's Handling of the Kavanaugh Matter Was Designed to Discourage the "Blue Wave"

We can’t let the monsters win. Don’t ever give up. Make good use of the time between now and Nivember to volunteer for phone banks, neighborhood canvassing, organizing transportation to the polls, or any activity that increases turnout. This is the bests time to be energized and active. More Americans than ever before are seeing through the GOP and their dirty schemes. There are so many more of us than them. Let’s make this next month count!

rolls around, their base will have enjoyed their victory and the high will be gone. Democrats, on the other hand, will remember this for a long time. The Republican base may be energized right now, but I'm not sure they can keep it up.

It's having completely the opposite effect than what they intended. May it cost these ratbastards the Senate, as well as the House. And, a shitpile of governorships and other state and local seats.

I think this will have the opposite effect. They have a hard time reading the room outside of their circle.
