The idiot red state democrats (except Manchin) just sealed their fate and lost their election, by voting “no.” I’m surprised Schumer didn’t let them vote yes, since he knew Justice Kavanaugh had enough republican votes. I was sure he’d let them, but I was wrong. Better for our side. :)
“I’m surprised Schumer didn’t let them vote yes, since he knew Justice Kavanaugh had enough republican votes.”
I bet they’ll wish they had. It started with their decision to go scorched earth for the primary article of faith in the religion of liberalism: abortion is sacrosanct. They thought they could either make things so miserable that Kavanaugh or Trump would back down. They bet wrong.
If Schumer had released the fence-sitting moderates (if there really are any that have not been purged from the Democrat party) they would have lost the support of the lunatic fringe corner of their voting base, which is apparently sizable. So now they are forced to keep beating that drum which will only turn ordinary, apolitical Americans more against them. This means that those who lean Democrat will consider voting Republican or at least not be motivated to show up and vote.
And as the Democrat party stakes all of its money and political capital on “abortion rights,” conservatism will be empowered. This day will probably be the watershed moment that gives our nation a chance at recovering from decades of on-demand abortion and, more recently, coercion to embrace homosexual thought.
