And are getting duly burned.
As of now, in the wake of the testimony, only 37 percent want Kavanaugh confirmed, but only 44 percent say he should not be confirmed. But…
Because “corroboration” is the only standard a wide majority of Americans care about, if this FBI investigation clears him, a whopping 60 percent want Kavanaugh confirmed.
Moreover, once those polled were informed “that the named witnesses deny any knowledge of the allegation, this shifts to 57 percent who favor confirmation.”
In other words, once voters know the full truth (the truth the establishment media are hiding from them), they overwhelmingly side with Kavanaugh — those who call for his confirmation jump from 37 percent to 57 percent.
The Fake News media are the enemy of Western civilization and must be destroyed–which is why Trump must sign the EO currently on his desk ordering antitrust action against Big Tech. Thankfully, they can’t totally control the narrative like they used to.
A full 63 percent believe Kavanaugh will eventually be cleared and confirmed.
Make no mistake, the Left is in existential crisis mode over Punished Brett’s impending confirmation. They’ve had since 2012 to dig up disqualifying dirt on Coach K, yet the best they could do was a West Coast partisan academic with a Swiss cheese memory whose story the independent prosecutor has now destroyed and an eleventh hour accuser whose laughable claims didn’t meet the New Yorker’s publication standards.
There’s also a third accuser dredged up by glorified mob lawyer Michael Avenatti. Democrats whined about the FBI not interviewing her, so Trump gave them the green light. Probably because she’s turned out to be an unstable psycho with a history of legal problems stemming from her own sexual misconduct.
This seventh FBI investigation into Judge Dredd’s already well-vetted past is a cynical desperation move intended to stall Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Democrats had certainly hoped that the Feds would unearth some heretofore unknown wrongdoing on Coach K’s part, but their current witnesses keep getting discredited and referred for prosecution instead.
Failing the discovery of any incriminating evidence against Kavanaugh, Democrats had staked their political fortunes on delaying the confirmation vote until after the midterm elections, when they expect to ride a blue wave to majorities in both houses of Congress.
That plan looked good on paper. The winning strategy in US elections is to make sure your people turn out to vote while depressing voter turnout on the other side. Democrats had enjoyed an advantage in the voter enthusiasm gap. But in a twist of cosmic justice, the circus they’ve made of what should have been a routine SCOTUS confirmation has lit a fire under Republican voters.
And those flames aren’t stoked by love for the GOP cucks who let matters degrade to this point–Roy Moore is waiting for his apology, Mitch–they’re fueled by pure hatred of the demonic, power-hungry psychos they now realize the Left have become.
Polls across the country are now turning in favor of GOP candidates. Republican Wendy Rogers has taken the lead in an Arizona race that has put a Democrat-controlled House seat in play. Even more telling, Josh Hawley is now poised to flip red state Democrat Claire McCaskill’s Missouri Senate seat specifically because she opposes Kavanaugh. Meanwhile, an internal GOP poll shows that key Kavanaugh swing vote Joe Manchin, who is enabling Jeff Flake’s stranglehold on the confirmation process, is four points behind his Republican challenger.
Time could actually be on the Republicans’ side. Letting the Dems make a sideshow of the Kavanaugh confirmation is animating the GOP base. At this rate, McConnell could delay the confirmation till the midterms, whereupon angry voters could give Republicans up to ten more Senate seats, and rubber stamp Coach K’s confirmation with a super majority.
And who knows what other juicy tidbits will turn up on Kavanaugh’s accusers in the meantime?
