#1 Seems to me most of them (Pub Pols) want to get rid of Trump and go back to business as usual - whether that will be possible after Democrats went so far successfully, I leave to the gentle reader.

#2 It's a plain fact that "sitting out" an election is a loser. How many wars has pacifism stopped? Yeah, right.

#3 Democrats seem to have a great deal more party discipline than Republicans. Are there any Democrats as eager to break ranks with their party as Flake, Murkowski and Collins are to break ranks with the Republican Party? These people need discipline.

#4 They are prepared to release most of their rage over any Kavanaugh defeat on the Republican Party.

Which is exactly where it belongs. We know about Democrats. We expect better from Republicans and we'll be damn disappointed if we don't get it.

#6 NYT headline that Rosenswine wanted to wear a wire in meeting with Trump, we are in open revolt by the Deep State and the demonrats against the duly elected President of the United States. Hold the damn vote Grassley, there are trials to be started....

#7 We expect better from Republicans

We do?

At this point, part of me wants to see the GOP drop Kavanaugh and push Don Willett through with no hearings.

It won't happen (and probably wouldn't work anyway) but the Right needs to examine whether its "reasonableness" is doing more harm than good.

As Nicholas Nassim Taleb might say "Most 'unreasonable' wins."
