Republican enthusiasm surges amid Kavanaugh's Supreme Court battle

WASHINGTON — They are getting outraised. They are struggling in suburbia. And their top guy is dividing America. But suddenly, five weeks from Election Day, Republicans are seeing tangible evidence of a spike in GOP enthusiasm that has eluded them all cycle. “It’s got to be Kavanaugh,” said Republican pollster Robert Blizzard, coming to the same conclusion as GOP operatives nationwide: the Democrats’ efforts to block President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee are backfiring with Republicans who were previously apathetic about the midterms but are now angry—and engaged. Conversations with pollsters, strategists and party officials reveal that Republican voters are circling the wagons around Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court nominee who has been accused of sexual assault, allegations he strongly denies. And now, there are concrete signs that the drama over his confirmation, complete with emotional Senate hearings and an FBI supplemental investigation, is helping Republicans close an enthusiasm gap with Democrats, which has been one of the GOP’s biggest challenges of the last two years." https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/midterms/article219488090.html

Democrats fuckin up

Google Mankiewicz OP Oct 4, 2018

I think they over pursued here. Not only is Kavanaugh now going to get confirmed this weekend, they have given Republicans enough reasons to come vote in large numbers in the mid-terms.

Their Supreme Court nominee being accused of sexual assault got the base fired up. This country is horrible. Sanders 2020.

Their nominee is being accused of something which does not pass smell test. Dems not for due process.

Support is up WITH REPUBLICANS. Down with Democrats and independents. Lol. Math.

The supreme court is arguably the #1 topic that gets republicans fired up. Even Never Trump Republicans, establishment types, and some liberals are now seeing the insanity from progressives and the media that we've been dealing with for the past 2 years.

Also firing up the left and independents. Math is not on the republicans side

Democrats knew this will energize Republican base , that's the reason Diane sat on it. No one cares for her , she didn't realize when Diane didn't support her.
