    The good ol Bobby generic response.

    I think he's typed this same response with slightly different variations at least over 100 times by now.

    Notice how the narrative has changed before and after the presidential election?

    During the Presidential campaign it was all about the evil globalists... Now it's reverting back to good ol' evil Stalinists. The modern GOP is so hilarious.

    NBC is one of the polls with the least predictive value. They had Clinton +10 in October 2016. How'd that work out? Their poll is run by an insular group of liberals in Midtown Manhattan.

    GOOD DAY

    Meanwhile, in Texas...

    You have to wonder what the Beto effect might have down the ballot. There's polling showing Mike Collier close to Dan Patrick for Lt. Governor and Justin Nelson within a couple points of (the indicted) Ken Paxton. A big push for Beto could create some interesting races that no one was expecting.

    That is how Mr. Runshismouth may want to spin this... but if the American people see this as republicans pushing someone with sex crimes in his past, I really don't see this helping republicans with independent and Democratic women, do you?

    This is partisan swill. The hearings just further angered and divided us. I have NEVER seen my lib friends more fired up for an election than they are today. Graham plus BK's dismissal of a senator are the "best gift" as well. Doesn't cut one way.

    This is very true, not only does it fire up the base (of both parties) but it makes Democrats look like absolute scumbags willing to do anything for political gain no matter who they have to victimize. That's going to sway independent minded people against Democrats IMO. They should have hired someone to ask questions for them because the way they handled themselves may have swayed voters against them....and not just them personally, but against their party.

    I posted this elsewhere, but it's most relevant here, Joe Donnelly just handed the election to Mike Braun.

    Same here. I haven't seen my dem friends this fired up since the Nazi rally and the '16 election.
    If Kavanaugh is sunk, I could see it being a net gain for repubs on the generic ballot.
    If he is confirmed, further net gain for dems on the generic ballot.
    As it stands now, pretty much everyone is enraged and certain that the other side is engaging in evil, immoral tactics to ruin someone for political gain.

    These sorts of reports are interesting... hints at where the parties believe races are winnable or not by where money is being spent...
