Around five or six hundred traumatic public events ago — which is to say last fall — Republicans declared Democrats would live to regret that they pushed for women accusing now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault or misconduct to be heard. The so-called “Kavanaugh effect,” they said, would galvanize Republicans, including Republican mothers of sons, who would agree with Donald Trump that “it’s a very scary time for young men in America when you can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of.”

This narrative changed little after Kavanaugh was confirmed to the highest court; indeed, when Republicans held onto the Senate a month later, Lindsey Graham tried, unsuccessfully, to make #KavanaughsRevenge happen as a hashtag, writing of vanquished red state senators who had voted against Kavanaugh, “Hopefully this resounding rejection of the smear campaign by voters will make it less likely that this will occur again in the future.” As recently as this month, the New York Times reported that Trump may have nominated accused harasser Hermain Cain to the Federal Reserve’s board of governors because he hopes to get some of that Kavanaugh-esque rage-bait to distract his base from investigations by House Democrats.

1. Among all of their innumerable flaws, childishness ranks high, with the GOP

Lindsay Graham's choices seems to be sinking lower and lower into juvenile nonsense behavior.

2. However

there was evidence that the GOP spending money to promote conservative judges and nationalize/Kavanaugh the Wisconsin Supreme Court election swung that seat to the GOP - Democratic turnout was up compared to previous state SCOTUS elections, but GOP turnout was up even more.

3. Wouldn't it be ironic

If by confirming Kavanaugh, the Republicans boofed themselves?
