Blue Wave?

[Boca]

An angry Judge Brett Kavanaugh told the Senate Judiciary Committee late last week: “This confirmation process has become a national disgrace. The Constitution gives the Senate an important role in the confirmation process, but you have replaced advise and consent with search and destroy.” Most voters think he’s right. Even Democrats are conflicted.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 56% of Likely U.S. Voters agree with the U.S. Supreme Court nominee’s statement. Thirty percent (30%) disagree, while 14% are undecided​

Given that Democrats outnumber Republicans, it would seem that a 56 to 30 spread on this hot button issue, this close to an election, doesn't bode well for a wave....maybe a ripple.

Americans are fair; this circus has been anything but.

I don't have any faith in polls. I don't think a blue wave will take place, however the Republicans will probably lose some seats as is usually the case when the party that holds the Presidency also has Congress.

I do hope this entire debacle drives Trumps base and the rest of the GOP to the polls. I think the Democrats have done nothing but embarrass themselves.

And opened the door for the mother of all Defamation of Character suits.

If he does not get confirmed I hope that is exactly what he does.

Poor Dems... here's what's in store for their "blue wave"

Do you think the GOP will hold the House? Seriously.

It could happen. If it does, I'd be laughing. But in reality, historically, it (house) swings back to opposition party.

It's not gonna take a "wave" to flip the House either. It will take a "wave" to flip the Senate. The GOP really couldn't have asked for more favorable conditions in the Senate in this midterm. The only glaring mistake the GOP did in the Senate races that I can see is their choice of candidate in Tennessee.

Personally, I think it's going to be much closer than the "blue wave" scenario predicts. I think a lot depends on the Kavanaugh vote. If he's successfully borked, then I think that GOP voters will go to the polls in numbers highly unusual for a mid-term, and that's going to put quite a sea-wall effect on the "blue wave." If, however, Kavanaugh is seated, we could see a blue wave as currently predicted.

It might be awkward, but if it were me I'd do it anyway. The judge has been tarred for life. Might have to be assigned a Secret Service detail. That isn't anyway to live. Democrats willingly set out to destroy him and his family. A price should be paid for that.

I don't know whether it will translate to actual votes, but I do know that people I never heard a peep about politics out of before now, have discussed how disgusting they have found this entire process. They are digusted with Democrats in general. They have found the showmanship on the part of many of the democrats disgusting. This is in blue state maryland. Now whether these people will actually get off their duff's and go vote.. who knows, but the average person is pissed, and rightfully so.

I think if he is confirmed he should take a page out of Thomas's book and just do his job.

And, I think he will.

The reality is that despite how much the left wants to whine about this - this guy is a moderate on social issues. He is going to be very kennedy-esq. He was highly respected and praised and well liked. I think he will just go back to just doing his work, and fade from the limelight.

Thomas has a funny way of doing his job.
