Ironic how these things work. You win but you will lose. The D's are going to be p*ssed and will turn out in droves for the mid-terms.

Ur funny
1) this saga unified Republican just as much, if not more, than Democrats
2) the GOP handled the situation more or less the best they could have. Aside from DJT stupid comments and having 'only' a 1 week FBI investigation, there was nothing more that could happened
3) furthermore, the GOP seemed sincere in getting answers while the Dems clearly we're using this woman and the entire situation for their own political gain. Anybody that is honest with themselves (yes, plenty of Dems are honest quite often) saw that clearly and if anything got turned OFF by their own party.
Sach Hkoal-
-court of law, he would be innocent (no proof that he did anything or was involved)
-politically, he is innocent (he's about to be voted onto the SC)
-public opinion, he is innocent (check the midterm polls from today and compare it to two weeks ago)
But yeah, you could convince urself that this is a win. Enjoy it now. If I was a betting person, I would bet ur in for a big surprise in a month.

You drinking the Kool-Aid to? I am not convincing myself of anything. I am just stating what has happened in the past. It is human nature to be complacent when things are going your way.

Maybe it is kool aid, but every single poll I saw over the last week has shown improvement for the Rs. The D's were pretty motivated before this whole thing and get reminded with every stupid tweet. It is the Rs who had been complacent and have now woken up. What remains to be seen is if this can last the month.

While we will find out in Nov, I would say the following

The D's are furious at Trump and have beat the Rs on energy and turnout the entire year. This is another bump.

The Rs have ber lackluster at best. This has galvanized them and energized the base.

IMHO a bump isn't as good as energizing a lackluster base and making Gap smaller. Additionally the Rs usually have a better turnout in Midterms as is. But we shall see

i disagree, had the Dems somehow blocked kavanaugh then i think the Republican turnout would have been very high and that was being displayed in the recent polls but now that he got through i think most of those gains in the polls will disappear come election day. This process definitely energized the right but i just don't think it has staying power. The outcome will motivate the left and they didn't need much more motivation

Senate is a poor representation of the country. House is a lot more accurate as a whole on how the people feel.
