McConnell doesn't want Kavanaugh shitstorm "to dissipate over the next four weeks, I can tell you."



“We’ve literally been under assault by the mob,” McConnell said.

But he claimed the intensity has proved to be an aid to Republican unity in the Senate, as the party prepares to take the issue onto the campaign trail.

“This has all really helped me, No. 1, unify my conference, and No. 2, underscore the significance of the Senate,” the Kentucky Republican said.

McConnell even welcomed the acrimony of the political brawl. “I don’t want it to dissipate over the next four weeks, I can tell you.”

I'm so sick of all the "blue wave" coverage. People won't bother voting because they'll think we've already won.

People need to be reminded of the significance of this. And how it's just going to get worse if we don't vote the repugs out.

It was the march of pissed-off women that changed the course of the French revolution. It didn't end so well for King Louis.

For the Nov. elections. McTurtle is one strategic SOB. I hope we don't fall into the trap.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET IT GO FOR NOW!

is that your side won and ours lost, under very very dubious circumstances. Your passion and urgency won't be there, ours will be incandescent. This was always a lose-lose situation for you and guess what? You "lost."

Are we or are not going to be a blue surge? Tide surges do not come and go politely.

They are satiated for now, like a pack of hyenas feasting on a gazelle. Their blood lust is satisfied, they “owned the libs”. They will become complacent, napping with their bloated bellies. Mitch knows this, so wants to keep the controversy alive.
Meanwhile, our intensity and determination only grows.
