October Surprise: The Brett Bounce
axios.com ^ | 10/5/2018

Posted on 10/04/2018 7:48:33 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Top Republicans tell Axios that they're seeing a surprising and widespread surge in GOP voter enthusiasm, powered largely by support for Brett Kavanaugh and his Supreme Court nomination.

What they're saying: "The Kavanaugh debate has dropped a political grenade into the middle of an electorate that had been largely locked in Democrats' favor for the past six months," said Josh Holmes, a former top aide to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

In North Dakota, one of the top races, a Fox News poll yesterday showed Republican challenger Kevin Cramer leading Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D) by 12 points (53%-41%) — up from four points last month.

"ND now appears out of reach entirely for Democrats," Holmes said.

Another stark example:

Missouri Rising Action, a super PAC backing Republican Josh Hawley, yesterday got back numbers from pollster Jim McLaughlin showing Hawley leading Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) by 52-44.

That's a huge swing from the previous poll, in June, which had McCaskill leading Hawley 46-42.

October surprise should be less hate in politics.

WOW!

Supports my theory that REAL American Patriots are FED UP with Business As Usual in D.C.

We should all be on our knees, giving prayers of THANKS for this respite via President Trump in the Democratic Destruction of our Republic!

Best. Election. Ever. EVER! MAGA! :)

Republican voters who for years saw a spineless and wimpy bunch representing their party are for once seeing some fight and fire in their leaders - it’s soooo refreshing......

Also, ignore all polls, even if they are in our favor. Polls are inherently unreliable. The 2016 Presidential election proved that beyond all doubt.

The Donks held onto a grenade named Dr. Ford and pulled the pin. She didn’t even come close to having a credible story, and her circumstances were fishy.

Exactly!

I want the fake news polls to be saying Republicans are 10 points behind and not motivated. I want Drudge to keep hammering on how Dems have the edge in voter enthusiasm...and I want CNN to keep beating the hell out of Brett Kavanaugh’s drinking habits and “temprament” for the next month

Fear is a great motivator.

So is revenge. And the ability to stuff it right up their liberal back holes.

I think we’re gonna be just fine. The Dems have REALLY stepped in it this time - they’re sunk up to their eyeballs in the muck they’ve created.

The question is what will the dems do for their october surprise?

Will Mueller drop his impeachment report to congress? Or does Trump have him by the short hairs with the FISA docs, etc?

All depends on Flake, Murkowski, and Collins..unfortunately the GOP is stuck with those three losers to depend on for this vote

“..October surprise should be less hate in politics....”

Maybe in another world, at another time.

Right now however, THEY started it, and it’s war.

We either win it and OUR Country survives, or they win, and we become the Balkans.

Pretty stark and clear.

The Donks have made one of their trademark causes look horrible.
