The Dem leadership rolled the dice on the K nomination, as they didnt expect to take the Senate because the numbers were just not there.

If they succeeded, they may just depress GOP turnout enough to run the table.

But the thing is that they HAD to succeed. So after pouring everything into it, including that disgraceful display by their activists and Senators, they’ve likely punted on the Senate, and are now looking at a backlash big enough in the House that they will have to wash their hands of both chambers. The air has been let out of their balloon.

Using a military history analogy, I liken it to “Little Round Top” during the battle of Gettysburg. That’s how close it was for either side. Coincidentally it was people from Maine that saved our rears in both cases.

Yep - they overplayed big time and are now chambering spent cartridges because they have no other ammo than what just proved ineffective...and it looks like they will double down ona tactic that just blew up in their faces...
