Democrats in trouble?

Thing1 said:
All this talk of "backlash." Base GOP voters are always angry. They're turning out regardless.

If Kav gets confirmed, what do they complain about? The investigation? That's not lasting anger, imo. I don't see a big difference there.

Is there no "backlash" for Trump & the right once again mocking women and marginalizing the way many are treated?

I'm interested to see what happens. Democrats have far better candidates across the board this year, and people are underestimating voter registration efforts and the raw emotion on the left. I think Democrats take the House, and minimize GOP gains in the Senate.

You really don’t understand people. You democrats played a losing hand with this one

You thought Kavanaugh would drop out or be forced to drop out.

But thanks to Trump and Grassley they called your fucking bluff.

The democrats have nothing.

I think there is a chance that democrats get a bit demoralized from this.

They really thought they were going to stop Kavanaugh.

Personally I won’t be sure until he dons a robe.

MSNBC Parrot eruption in progress.

Kavanaugh lying under oath? SQUAWK!

Brett Kavanaugh is no longer a mere Supreme Court nominee. His name is now a veritable conservative cause — one that has united the right for the first time since the 2016 primary sent Republicans quarreling over Trump and Never Trump.

Whatever the outcome of the immediate contest, it’s increasingly clear that Democrats and the media establishment made an enormous miscalculation by waging total war against Kavanaugh and his family.

Liberals set out to cast the federal judge — amiable, well-credentialed, mildly conservative — as a demon.
In the process, they have reminded GOP voters and all but the most stubborn Never Trump intellectuals that there are worse things than Donald Trump’s outbursts and the ineptitude of congressional Republicans.

These forces have combined to turn Kavanaugh into a folk hero, a stand-in for every American who has found himself falsely accused, or railroaded by malicious hearsay, or facing an unfeeling bureaucracy that treats juvenile missteps as unforgivable sins.

You'll need to keep doing that as there are currently more Democrats on the Federal bench than Republicans. That could possibly flip if Trump were to be re-elected...which is a pretty big if. That in trun depends on Democrats not shooting themselves in the foot like they did with Hillary.

At the State and Municipal level it's a big whoop te do as most judges appointed or elected are non-partisan.
 
MaristPoll: Amid Kavanaugh Confirmation Battle, Democratic Enthusiasm Edge Evaporates
https://www.npr.org/2018/10/03/6540...-battle-democratic-enthusiasm-edge-evaporates
the wide Democratic enthusiasm advantage that has defined the 2018 campaign up to this point has disappeared, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.

In July, there was a 10-point gap between the number of Democrats and Republicans saying the November elections were "very important." Now, that is down to 2 points, a statistical tie.

bro you are delusional

first, historically the opposition party no matter what always picks up seats in the first midterm.

secondly all polls show dems with a huge generic ballot lead.

while republican CAN hold on to the house, dems are a pretty sizable favorite to take the house, at around 3.5:1

Generic ballots are useless. The Democrats have much more to defend and are not showing any major seat pickups right now in the polling and this in a time where tradition is in their favor.

in terms of the house they are showing quite a bit of pickup

denying the likely reality wont make things easier on yourself. it sucks but that's the way it is. Yes, republicans can keep the house, but their chances of doing that are the same as the dems taking the senate.

the religious culture war is completely over. we aren't in 1994 anymore. whenever I see a liberal talk about christians as if they are a powerhouse of anything, I know they are dating themselves.

Meh....I heard the same thing said about rednecks in 2016 but they put Trump in the White House. I wouldn't underestimate the influence of religion or the religious on our elections. Going to Church is still more popular with the general public in this country than going to the movies. Just because they are keeping a low profile doesn't mean that they aren't out there and that they are not tremendously influential. W showed what happened when you can harness that political force. You're not going to see that with Trump because in many ways he represents what people of faith abhor so they remain silent while cautiously supporting him but count them out and you could end up with a Tiger by the tail.

Exactly. Having said that SF's comment was completely asinine. During the Whitewater and Lewinsky investigations the GOP was willing to precipitate a Constitutional crisis over a triviality that the vast majority of Americans opposed. That certainly didn't stop them.

A criminal referral is trivial? Banging interns in the White House is trivial? What fucking planet do you liberals live on? Planet denial?

I still think Kav getting confirmed is like throwing a match into a bucket of water. But Grind is more tuned into the ways of the right, so he could be correct on the idea of lasting anger from this.

But no one is really talking about how a Kav confirmation will affect the left. It doesn't really exist in a vacuum. The confirmation itself is a transformative event in terms of the dynamics, and I do think it's almost certain he gets confirmed now.

Yes. In the grand scheme of things lying about a consensual blow job as a non-material witness is trivial and no basis to cause a Constitutional Crisis.

the Marist poll had actual numbers for both Dems and Repubs who say
"the elections are very important" ( so called enthusiasm) if you pull up the link.

It's showing the Dems are still jazzed up,but the Rebubs were not and now everybody is jazzed
Turnout is another thing of course..
