RNC is launching an effort to turn Trump's Supreme Court appointment into a dominant issue

The Republican National Committee is launching an effort to turn President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court appointment into a dominant issue in 10 key states ahead of November’s midterm elections, CNN has learned.

The GOP’s effort — which includes an extensive field program, digital ads and op-eds — targets Democratic senators up for re-election in states Trump won in 2016 and illustrates how crucial Republicans believe the issue will be for their base in the midterm elections.
The RNC plans to make Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination the focus of phone calls and door-to-door visits with flyers and petitions, as well as Facebook and Twitter ad buys, email campaigns, volunteer training efforts and op-eds in key areas. The RNC has committed $250 million toward the midterms, a staffer said.

I hope someone looks into Kavanaugh's background because his low net worth is suspicious. Does he give his money to Catholic charities or a bookie?

Let's explain what this current court has done to workers' rights. Let's talk about health care. Let's talk about the rights of consumers not to be poisoned by companies--and when they are having a way to fight back. Let's talk about reproductive choices.

I even think we should push the likelihood of Roe being overturned. And who knows what kind of laws some of these state legislators will enact...maybe the slogan should be....It's the End of Our Freedom as We Know It! (and I don't feel fine)
