I am a college-educated, suburban, first-generation Latino immigrant. I voted for President Obama in 2008 and 2012. I find President Trump to lack the basic moral character that we should expect in our political leaders and did not consider, even for a moment, voting for him in 2016. After watching how Senate Democrats and the media handled the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, however, I will be voting Republican in 2018 and for Trump in 2020.
When I came to the United States, I left a country that had recently undergone a military coup. My family experienced first-hand what happens when those in power abandon the rule of law. We saw the devastation that comes to a society when men of power believe their political objectives so justified that they are willing to pursue them by any means necessary. In the eyes of those men of power, we could see the deadening of souls that occurs when a man’s perceived benevolence blinds him to his own tyranny.
During the Kavanaugh hearings I saw that same look in the eyes of Senate Democrats. The hearings made clear that the Democrats on the committee were not interested in pursuing the truth or respecting Christine Blasey Ford’s desire for anonymity. Instead, they simply sought to delay the vote in the hopes of winning the next election.
If Kavanaugh’s reputation and Ford’s privacy had to be sacrificed on the altar of political expediency, the committee Democrats were not going to let basic decency prevent them from using the courts as an alternative path to the political ends they cannot reach through legislation.

Don’t worry when the FBI finishes there investigation and they find the dirt they are looking for this guy will be back on the plantation voting democrat.
MORE. READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH
I found Ford believable. Although her memory had significant gaps, she has clearly experienced some trauma. She does not come across as politically or financially motivated as some of the other accusers do. I also found Kavanaugh to be believable. He has an impeccable record and strongly denied the accusations. We may never answer the questions of what truly occurred.
But there is a greater question at hand, a question beyond the truthfulness of Ford or Kavanaugh’s testimony. This question will have lasting effects long beyond the tenure of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s replacement. That question is whether the politics of power, the politics by any means demonstrated by Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats, will be rewarded.
A mentor once told me, when discussing how to respond to inappropriate sexual conduct in the workplace, “You promote what you permit.” If Democrats are allowed to delay this nomination and the elections in 2018 and 2020 benefit them, both Republicans and Democrats for a generation will have learned that the American people prefer to be ruled by tyrants that punish their enemies instead of representatives in a republic who adhere to the rule of law.
Tomas Mendoza is a pen name for a man who works at a company endorsed by gay activists and where CEOs openly complain about having too many white, male leaders. To protect his job, therefore, he requested anonymity for writing in support of due process for a Republican appointee.
I see a red wave here??
I’m sure he or she is not the only one.

Thank you, Thomas. You are a gift to our nation. This is an ugly and disgraceful time and it may be people like you who can overcome the mob and save us.
I think one of the problems that the Democrats are having is that they’re still running plays from the days when the mainstream media could essentially determine public opinion. They think that if they run a “hit” with screaming WaPo/NYT headlines and around the clock coverage on CNN/MSNBC, that will do sway the public. But they’re mostly just preaching to the choir. We’ve got a couple of idiotic Repubs like Flake who still pay attention to them, but that’s coming to an end. The new reality in 2019 is likely to be that even if every Democrat in Congress and every mainstream media outlet spend a week all screaming the same thing, the majority of the country will shrug their shoulders and ignore them.
Yep. I’ve been saying the exact same thing on many posts on this site and others. Andrew Breitbart understood that if you destroy the media then you destroy the Democrats. We lost Andrew at a very young age, but it’s as if Trump was some sort of divine manifestation of everything that Breitbart would have wanted in a republican politician. He has to keep hammering away at the media every day.
“I found Ford believable. Although her memory had significant gaps, she has clearly experienced some trauma. She does not come across as politically or financially motivated as some of the other accusers do.”
That’s crap. She wasn’t believable. She never experience sexual trauma. She is one-thousand percent politically motivated. She’s a frickin’ pussy-hat-wearing activist, for Pete’s sake.
She took one for the team, and she’ll be rewarded.
SUBURBAN stands out to me - all those smug, self-satisfied empty headed types who ordinarily follow the herd for any pied-piper liberal who comes down the pike - if they start to peel off for the ‘pubs, it’ll be good news.....

Excellent writing - best I’ve seen in a long time. What is said is excellent as well. I’m guessing he’s not the only one who feels that way in this country after seeing the spectacle that occurred yesterday and today. DEMS need to go down to defeat, every single one.
Welcome to America
Met a Hispanic woman yesterday at a Republican’s womens luncheon who voted for Obama twice and voted for Trump. She said she finally figure out that the rats were using Hispanics
The luncheon was packed and filled with very angry, disgusted women.
Welcome to the sane side.
Liberals don’t believe people like this exist.
“That’s crap. She wasn’t believable. She never experience sexual trauma. She is one-thousand percent politically motivated. She’s a frickin’ pussy-hat-wearing activist, for Pete’s sake.”
You’re wrong. She’s probably experienced the most extreme types of sexual abuse at the hands of CIA MK-Ultra handlers, which probably includes her own father.
She behaves like someone who has PTSD and also seems hypnotically regressed in age. She talked like a teenage girl. She did not carry herself or speak like someone who has a PhD in psychology and is a college professor. Some of her written testimony is similar. She seems to have written a lot of it while hypnotically regressed. This could also be a symptom of an alter-personality that is still a teenager.
She is believble because she is mentally ill. Most women believe their own lies and they feel it is not lies. They are very self suggestive
