If he doesn't, I do think the Blue Wave will fizzle. We'll see. I'm not prepared to see an innocent life wrecked one way or another. I'm no expert, but I see no reason he shouldn't be confirmed, except for Machiavellian politics.

Trump's appeal is based on sticking it to the libs, so of course he's going to stick it to them over the biggest instance of mass hysteria in recent years. Annoying liberals has served him well thus far, so why stop now?Gaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683100808581061355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-22047657947318977492018-10-04T09:25:40.225-04:002018-10-04T09:25:40.225-04:00I don't know for certain but some things I won...I don't know for certain but some things I wonder...<br /><br />First, the Dems may not have the advantage they were planning. The margain of victory for them <a href="https://www.npr.org/2018/10/03/654015874/poll-amid-kavanaugh-confirmation-battle-democratic-enthusiasm-edge-evaporates'" rel="nofollow">has now gone from 10% to 2%</a>. They're starting to shoot themselves in the foot with this one.<br /><br />Part of me wonders, did he do it to <i>help</i> kavanaugh? After all, by now pulling press and popular attention to himself, there's now less heat on Kavanaugh and the senators that would vote for him.<br /><br />And we can't forget the Orwell quote. I think it's something like, "sometimes a man has a duty to speak the truth." Time will tell, hang on for an interesting month.Nate Winchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00630873800235819300noreply@blogger.com
