A Kavanaugh Bounce for Republicans?

Top Republicans tell Axios that they’re seeing a surprising and widespread surge in GOP voter enthusiasm, powered largely by support for Brett Kavanaugh and his Supreme Court nomination.

Said GOP operative Josh Holmes: “The Kavanaugh debate has dropped a political grenade into the middle of an electorate that had been largely locked in Democrats’ favor for the past six months. Private polling shows the enthusiasm shift is … unmistakable in the red states that will determine control of the Senate.”

1. Top Republicans tell lies. A lot of them. Press on, Democrats! (n/t)

3. If it does anything

it seals their electoral fate forever. This is more projection. There is no country where approval of Kavanaugh plummets AND the party who proposed him benefits.

Just ignore party operatives. Besides, he is more likely to join the 2020 ticket than be confirmed. Don't get the gloom here-he simply is not going to get the votes.

6. Eh. That's how Trump got elected.

His approval numbers when running were horrific, but he still ended up in the White House because a lot of people said that even though they didn't like him personally, they were going to vote for him.

I'm guessing there are Republicans who don't personally like Kavanaugh, but still want him voted in because he's a Republican who will also protect Trump. Hence, low approval numbers but a bump in overall Republican support.

4. Didn't Axios report that Rosenstein had resigned?

Same sources, I'm sure.

5. Morning Joe and axios are pushing this hard, which suggests to me that its bullshit.

7. How Is This A Bounce?

They were going to vote "R" anyway. Did they really think the rabid right was going to sit home because they were depressed?

The conclusions are stupid.

8. there's a term for this in characteristically morbid wall street lingo: a dead cat bounce.

the idea is that after a big enough fall, even a dead cat will bounce; but it's only temporary.

9. yep

Let 'em poll women. I can't recall so much rage and I remember back to the 60s.

10. I believe it

unlike us, the Supreme Court is paramount for them. It SHOULD be for us, but it isn't. It's one of the top things that drives them to the polls. We only go when we love the candidate.

11. There are 33 days until the election. A LONG time when it comes to future news cycles. nt

12. This is what they do. They LIE to influence voters.

They LIE to cover their voter suppression tactics. They LIE so when races are stolen, they can declare that they’re the majority. Another LIE.
