I love the Hills slight of hand here. If Kavanaugh had helped the Dems the headline would simply be:
Kavanaugh has helped Dems ahead of midterms.
But because the shoe is on the other foot, the qualifier has to be added to the headline: according to Republican Strategists.
The democRATS have given the GOP the boost it needs in the midterms, when it had hoped that their smear of Kavanaugh would energize their own base.
Doesn't look like it worked they way they had planned.
