Heard on radio today. The October money is pouring in. Voters seeing ads that are outright lies... anything it takes. That's why Dems that were ahead were falling behind. Money is coming from Koch brothers, super pacs and now corporations are contributing money from the tax cuts.
lots of money is being poured into the Kavanaugh issue, getting repubs riled up.

(7,888 posts)With the election just days away, early voting, your prediction about "weakening" is the McConnell dream.
Turn off the radio and focus on winning in November, imo.

(41,140 posts)so he's blazing on many issues, hardly a RWer. The GOP's simplistic talking points have made an impact, 'This is not a fishing expedition,' "Innocent until proven guilty,' et al, along with big money TV ads which I haven't seen.

(4,187 posts)That is a right-wing talking point. They wish. All they've done is make the left angrier than we've ever been. Especially women.

(11,088 posts)Unfortunately that might mean confirming a lilely attempted rapist to the supreme court. :
The sooner they vote to nominate him the less conservatives will see the court on the line this election.

(19,066 posts)There are multiple people who have given sworn statements that they saw Kavanaugh drugging drinks that were served to women. He drugged women at parties because he intended to rape them. No rational person thinks that Kavanaugh drugged women and then didn't follow through with raping them.

(21,155 posts)the repukes would retain both houses, Because of the baseless accusations against Kavanaugh. They were smirking saying how the democrat party was weak and it will be red wave in November.
I thought about the news that the voter registration day last week endorsedby Michelle Obama got 800,000 new voter registration when they were hoping for only 300,000. That said, I wonder if those registrations would be processed in those repuke controlled states. We can only hope. No people hate the orange maggot. My hubby and I are on a cruise now returning home from Alaska. Most people are over 65 and upper middle class and richer and quite few people from foreign countries. We saw this guy who was easily 80 reading the Fear book. My husband commented to he is also reading the book. The old gentleman said he is appalled at having the orange maggot as President. We had heard sarcastic comments about the orange maggot thoughout this cruise. So there is hope!
